Interesting purchase. When you get a dresser, always good to check the underside & backside of each drawer since people sometimes tape money or other things there. They say one person's junk is another's treasure... I'd throw away a used sleeping bag unless it was a great brand like North Face. You said it was worth keeping, dry-cleanign it and putting it in a yard sale. That makes no sense to me. $10-15 cleaning fee but it's, at best , a $5 yard sale item. I hope you guys did really well on reselling.
I'm three minutes in. And I'm thinking that the old Stanley plane is worth something. One turned up on a TV show here in the UK, it was a number one, first issue and it was worth thousands! Some of those old tools can be worth alot.
I went to a recent storage unit auction here in central Texas where I live. Out of pure curiosity I asked the auctioneer, "Have storage unit prices and the number of people participating increased since fake-reality TV shows like Storage Wars?" He said he only has done a few storage auctions in the past 5 years, but knows everything has increased. Number of customers, the amount paid for units at auction, and the number of auctions occurring. He said treasure is very rare.
I've got one of the old tread-operated singer sewing machines in the lovely wooden cabinet. I think every Australian house used to come with one! there is actually the singer catalogue from the 20's that came in one of the drawers, and there was actually an optional electric motor that you could get and it had a lead that you had to unscrew one of your lightbulbs and connect it to the bayonet fitting (obviously wall plugs hadn't been thought of yet) way cool
Be careful! When my wife left me (great for me, not so good for her!) and refused to come get her shit, my attorney told me to rent a locker for 3 months, fill it with her shit (99% worthless junk) and send her a certified letter. I'm sure her crap went CHEAP! Hope so! I laughed my ass of for years! Still brings a smile to my face!
Congratulations on your first unit. You should easily get back $300 or more with all those items if you are looking at doing it for resale purposes or thriftstore/garage sale type. Those old sewing machines not worth much, be sure to clean it up nice and polish the wood while making sure the machine itself works great should fetch a Jackson or two.
yeah but the $2 dollar note was a great find as well it was a silver cert which in the right year serial number and letter code could be worth upwards of $5000 sewing machine was worth at least $450 from what i seen here dresser could have been anywhere from $200 or more etc there was alot of hidden worth there i dont think he realized it though
Have you ever tried to contact the people who were obviously going thru hard times if you find photo albums or personal items that would be of no value to you but mean the world to them? If not ,then maybe you should consider doing it, it would probably make someone forever grateful to you...
the 1901 indian head cufflinks are actually pennies turned into cufflinks. idk what year they started but until 1909 the US made the penny with the indian head on the front and wheat on the back. the following year they changed it from the indian head to Abraham Lincolns head but they kept the back of the penny the wheat until 1959 (also known as a wheat cent). 1959 they changed it to the Lincoln memorial on the back
The cuff links you found are actually Indian head penny's because before Lincoln penny's they had indian head penny's from 1856 to 1909 so it's worth some money
great video man. yeah i got into storage auctions about a year prior to the shows comming out. the shows totally destroyed my business. at first it was me and maybe 3 other guys buying units and basically taking turns as to not bid each other up. once the shows came on man its was hundreds of people at auctions and took years for that to die down. i was actually at an auction xmas eve thinking it would be slow, over 300 people. i saw a POD unit with 3 mattresses and nothing else go for 1100. as all of us know mattresses not only have no value but are a liability as you typically have to pay to toss them as everyone is freaked out by bedbugs so there's really no second hand market for mattresss and even donation centers wont take them. only thing we could figure is people must really believe the shows and think even bad units at the last second your going to find a 10k value antique or jar of gold coins or something. i figured people must think the matreses were full of cash lol. i wound up kind of tweaking my strategy instead of tyring to buy overpriced units i put together a website where i posted upcomming auctions for free for buyers. i also wrote a book called how to make money with storage unit auctions to help newbie buyers know what to do when going to an auction. if you wanna check out my book send me a private mssage and i would be more than happy to send you a copy for free if you'd like to do a review or give it a read.
In 1990, I was biding on those units and ..back then hardly nobody came to the auction...i was buying them for $13.03 (got 3 of them that way), silent auction-written bids.
You don't need to dry clean the cheaper sleeping bags. Just wash them. I use Arm and Hammer on mine and it gets very clean. Cats love those folding laundry hampers. And the sewing machine, I used to have one. Make sure you secure everything because if you move it, it may stop working.
those coin cuff links you found were awsome I'm not sure what the value they are but they are actually pennies Indian heads very cool and on every I think you will be able to sell everything tripple or quadruple what you paid for everything great find ❤
oh and the gm sewing machine was the machine(s) that general motors used to use to sew all of the leather and cloth interiors of their cars i saw one auction off for a bit over $1 million
Thanks for posting -- but what a bunch of junk. The sewing machine isn't worth much. You'd think it would be but there's really not a lot of demand for them... $50? The Playboys are worth like a dollar each unless they're in mint condition and from the 1960s or 1950s and it doesn't look like you have those. There was a shop-vacuum in there I saw -- you can probably get a few bucks for that. $50-$75? Overall a lot of crap but you'll probably break even. Your TIME is worth money too and unless you're making at least 3x the purchase price is kind of a waste of effort.
I did this part time for the last 10 months while working a day job. My friend and I each walked away with a decent profit and we still have light fixtures and lamps that we are working on selling. There are profitable units out there.
Ezra Graber You should think to yourself: Can I sell this for 3x what I paid for it? Unless you can get those margins pass on it. In the long-run if you're selling stuff for 3x what you paid for it (or more) - it'll cover your costs on crap that doesn't sell. Of course, if you find a sure seller that you know 100% you can resell it I'd invest my cash in a quick profit turnaround that's less than 3x.
I had a neighbor who tried to get into this crap, he ended up in prison for trying to make a drug contact pay up by force but that's another story. One thing about these auctions everyone has to realize is that the property owners have already gone through those default units. Anything of real value has already been removed. For the shows they salt the units and get paid back by production. It is possible to make some money off what is left, the common furniture and shit if you get it cheap enough and have a distribution network, but forget about a "big score".
Those Indian Head Pennies are not in permanent mountings and are still in very good to good condition. Those are worth more than the price of the unit. Congratulations on your first buy. If that $2.00 bill is from the first printing, it is worth a lot more than the second printing when the post offices were date stamping them. DO NOT RESTORE ANY OF THE FURNITURE BEFORE YOU HAVE THEM APPRAISED. They are sometimes worth more not restored, people want to see the ageing process.
Theres all kinds of ways to make a lil extra cash, nothing really good lately has fell through for me. Scrappin', ebay, craigslist, amazon, live auctions, having a ft job, etc are good ways to get paid. I work ft now & hustle part time, about a month ago a friend called and said they threw out some shelving at his store. I picked em out the dumpster and sold them as scrap cause most were damaged and made 200 bucks for 15 mins work. I would never knock a man for doing what he has to/wants to do.
Yard sale junk is good, i buy from alot of yard sales/garage/estate sales and storage auctions. Perfect example is i took 5 small boxes of "junk" To an auction house last week and made 150 after their fees, i only had about 20 bones invested in!
Semper memento !A STORAGE has a lock easy breakable,auctioniers mob prior to auction browse it thru for the good stuff,so what u get is stuff they dont
did the same thing myself back in 2001. the whole storage garage was filled with very old gold bars and cash. first thing i did was call the feds. they told me that it was old currency that was stolen many years ago. they gave me 10 percent of it as a finders fee of 75 mil. i did not complain
you do know you didnt have to report or notify anyone right that was your winning unit and all the contents were deemed yours after purchase unless you uncover a body illegal animal taxidermy or possible illegal firearms you dont have to report anything just letting you know
thats good that you made a profit from an auction its hard to make a profit at a auction but that is not that big of a profit but hey atleast your making money doing it maybe we can get this country back
When it comes to making money you can't be lazy, unless you're highly intellegent and have a fortune to back your ideas or others to do the work (which'll cut into the bottom line as well). Usually if i get a good enough unit i just re-rent the space or move it to my house if its just fair-good profit to be made. I did the whole Craigslist car deal as well. Just the quality went down and the prices went up. Only good thing was the no wait on titles. I still do better at seized car ones.
that hand held wood plane is worth getting checked. Some of those old planes can be worth thousands. Head to barnes and noble and there is a price guide on those things. Good luck
we use to buy units like that for 30 dollars all day long, Storage Wars brought prices up a lot. folks dont understand , that you got to pay for gas , truck, flea market fees, taxes on and on, then of course none wants to give you much money for anything. So you have to work hard to make a buck,
I'm glad people don't understand value of stuff. If those PBs were old. You could have auctioned them all for 200 on ebay. and you would have gotten it from somewhere.
You got to ask what is your time worth you have left on Earth. 5 hours at storage yard 50 hours drying to get your money back after you end up getting your money back what little profit you end with.. Try painting mail boxes you make more or address on curb side.
+RP You obviously have never taken a risk in life. Yes... sometimes you lose, and sometimes you win. This unit did very well for me... so keep thinking that.
I bet with the sewing machine and the cabinet you broke even, then everything after that is profit, im guessing $500 profit the end of the day, those raybans are worth abit
Looks as if you didn't do too badly. Lots of these storage units are loaded with total junk. The old Playboys could be worth money, too.The cuff links are Indian Head pennies, which have some collector value. You've probably already figured that out!
Sadly, old playboys aren't worth much at all (unless you have issue #1), as so many people held on to them. Search for Pawn Stars video on this topic and see...
Argus Loud They are worth about a dollar a magazine. A store in my town tried to sell Playboy's but they went out of business, and this was 15 years ago or so.
I think some of the real old ones from the 50s are worth a little, such as the first issue with Marilyn Monroe as Playmate of the Month and the 1955 issue that featured Jayne Mansfield.
g bridgman Yes there are some issues that are worth something either because of a celebrity nude or interview. For example I paid about 15$ for the issue that has Walter/Wendy Carlos (guy who did famous album in 60's called "Switched on Bach" with Moog synth) discussing his sex change... very rare interview but has music/synth interest. I'm sure there are others like that... but generally yea there are an awful lot of these magazines around still so not worth that much.
The great ones are few and far in between, much like I learned about the cars. Just gotta know what to look for in both. I went today and didn't get anything, cheapest unit was 50 and had barley anything in it. Used car prices are outrageous here as of late. The bad economy has everybody trying to make a buck anyway they can & the cheap police/gov auctioned cars dried up for me in Feb this year. Too little profit in that wait for paperwork vs craigslist buy it today and sell it today/tomorrow.
As someone who has been to a lot of these auctions & bought a lot of lockers, I know these storage shows on TV are total bullshit. I find them unwatchable. I found some decent lockers & also lockers that were a total waste of time.Keep in mind that for the most part, the people who lose these lockers are not usually going to leave something really valuable. Don't waste a lot of money bidding on these lockers.
1901 indian wheat penny they can be pretty valuable if not defaced. Btw Do you still have that old family Bible that was laying on the dresser in this video? I love looking at old Bibles and would be interested in that
yeah im used to making 800 to 1200 bucks off a car but thats getting harder to do bc every one see you make that kind of money off a car and they wanna get into it witch drives the prices of the cars up.then that cuts into your profit but it gos with anything you deal with buy sale or trade if you dont know the value of that item you will not be buying selling or trading that item for very long
Value on the 1901 pennies isn't much, their not perfect condition so worth ~$8 each for badly rubbed coins. They have liberty written across the Indians headband if perfect. But as you had carpets, the dresser, and sowing machine and ray bans, overall should make a decent profit before anything else is considered.
Now there is an educated comment. So many people do not see value in reselling. You are correct. The dresser alone brought a HUGE chunk of change. It was a very desirable mid century modern piece.
Great I am sure the people that lost this stuff that routinely end up crying and begging at these storage places for being late on their rent are happy you made five dollars!
Those indian things are very early wheat pennies. It looks like somebody just put the other thing over it like that but they are definatly wheat pennies.
that's exactly what they are there the Indian wheat penny and they're worth a lot of money those are in excellent shape and you're right about the cufflink just going over it it's just got those little hooks holding the penny in those are worth big money

+brian the phoenix balloons are actual coins if those are real and not a copycat with a bullion and can be in the you may be correct if it is any real wheat penny anywhere $500 plus all depends on the year

+Alieneatcat Starspawn No They aren't! . the 1900-1909 ones are practically worthless except if in AU-50 condition which they aren't. He Would be lucky to get 20$ for all 4 Even If the holders were sterling.
I used to sell sewing machines like that as boat anchor's ..they not worth much, or hauling around....maybe $50.......but, You should do ok on the playboys.. and you should also check the penny cuff links..to see if their gold..
Those Cufflings made out of what looked like Indianhead Pennys sure were pretty but I gotta wonder how much they would actuallly be worth. They seem like the type of thing that is either very collectible or they could be rather worthless nick-nakes
I agree not much but better than nothin. Best i ever did on a unit was 10k and that was pre storage wars/auction hunters/storage hunters. Since then the shows have sucked all the profit out it with the noobs, but it's coming back around though lately. Alot of doubling and tripling as of late.
The cuff link has an old coin, it was a indian head penny, only worth abnout 25 cents, i would love to buy it, i have a few of those, just got one today in fact.
Down to earth honest video.Enjoyed that,thank you.
+Hedge hog You are welcome.
Interesting purchase. When you get a dresser, always good to check the underside & backside of each drawer since people sometimes tape money or other things there.
They say one person's junk is another's treasure... I'd throw away a used sleeping bag unless it was a great brand like North Face. You said it was worth keeping, dry-cleanign it and putting it in a yard sale. That makes no sense to me. $10-15 cleaning fee but it's, at best , a $5 yard sale item.
I hope you guys did really well on reselling.
the wine cases can be used for woodworking projects. serving trays come to mind.
I'm three minutes in. And I'm thinking that the old Stanley plane is worth something. One turned up on a TV show here in the UK, it was a number one, first issue and it was worth thousands! Some of those old tools can be worth alot.
Put the Indian head cufflinks on EBay, a coin collector will buy those. Price depends on the shape they are in. Nice find tho.
Sevin Poe A coin once used as jewelry loses about 50% of
any collectible value but they
were worth only $1-3.00 each
to begin with.

I think every Australian house used to come with one! there is actually the singer catalogue from the 20's that came in one of the drawers, and there was actually an optional electric motor that you could get and it had a lead that you had to unscrew one of your lightbulbs and connect it to the bayonet fitting (obviously wall plugs hadn't been thought of yet) way cool

Thank you. We did very well on this one.
I'll say the sewing machine and the dresser made up for what you spent. Cool find! keep up the videos!
yeah but the $2 dollar note was a great find as well it was a silver cert which in the right year serial number and letter code could be worth upwards of $5000 sewing machine was worth at least $450 from what i seen here dresser could have been anywhere from $200 or more etc there was alot of hidden worth there i dont think he realized it though
Those cuff links have perfect Indian head pennies in them and the pennies are worth mucho money. very collectible.
damn my right ear loved this vid
lol I thought my earphones were broken.
+noobs playing games My bad... damn iphone!
damn man took the words outa my mouth lol.
Have you ever tried to contact the people who were obviously going thru hard times if you find photo albums or personal items that would be of no value to you but mean the world to them? If not ,then maybe you should consider doing it, it would probably make someone forever grateful to you...
uh, no way... not worth the risk. Remember, no good deed goes unpunished.
Yea that might not turn out too well....

You are in the Minority. I did really well.

Not bad for 150 bucks man
This is a pretty good room. Not a bad dig for $150!
I agree. However the interest is calming down a bit, and I am in a circuit of a private auction group.
Yard sale junk is good, i buy from alot of yard sales/garage/estate sales and storage auctions. Perfect example is i took 5 small boxes of "junk" To an auction house last week and made 150 after their fees, i only had about 20 bones invested in!

Lol. I own one of those little brass tub soap dishes.
the sewing machine is maybe 40 -50 if it works =the raybans , cuff links and tools are pretty cool

not at all. I am a father, I kept the money and build my company. I paint cars for movies.
you do know you didnt have to report or notify anyone right that was your winning unit and all the contents were deemed yours after purchase unless you uncover a body illegal animal taxidermy or possible illegal firearms you dont have to report anything just letting you know
it was my first time. i did not know that but thanks.
Indian pennies. The one you showed was in decent shape. Worth more as a jewelry piece than coinage.
Yep. I have been selling on ebay for a long time, and Craigs list is great too.
thats good that you made a profit from an auction its hard to make a profit at a auction but that is not that big of a profit but hey atleast your making money doing it maybe we can get this country back
definitely a laundry hamper!
I noticed a couple of guitar stands!!! Worth about 10 bucks!! :-D

Years ago when I was working retail I found a 1902 indian head penny in the change drawer and it sold on E-Bay for $130.
that hand held wood plane is worth getting checked. Some of those old planes can be worth thousands. Head to barnes and noble and there is a price guide on those things. Good luck
Heather Will It actually brought about 75 bucks.
Lol sir don't act like you don't wanna see them playboys lol
Nice honest vid bud. Not like that false TV rubbish.
Nice video man!
Went to a storage auction and so many people showed up, the first thing the auctioneer said was " Wow! You people watch too much TV".
we use to buy units like that for 30 dollars all day long, Storage Wars brought prices up a lot. folks dont understand , that you got to pay for gas , truck, flea market fees, taxes on and on, then of course none wants to give you much money for anything. So you have to work hard to make a buck,
I like the brass boot jack.
I'm glad people don't understand value of stuff. If those PBs were old. You could have auctioned them all for 200 on ebay. and you would have gotten it from somewhere.
+Hiway Johnny I actually did very well on this unit... I am glad that people are ignorant as well. More money for me.
I have that exact same sewing machine at my house. I got it for 12 dollars at Goodwill.
You got to ask what is your time worth you have left on Earth. 5 hours at storage yard 50 hours drying to get your money back after you end up getting your money back what little profit you end with.. Try painting mail boxes you make more or address on curb side.
+RP You obviously have never taken a risk in life. Yes... sometimes you lose, and sometimes you win. This unit did very well for me... so keep thinking that.
I didn't watch any of your other videos, was what was different the fact you only hear through the right ear?
Nice score guys. 😀 👍
I bet with the sewing machine and the cabinet you broke even, then everything after that is profit, im guessing $500 profit the end of the day, those raybans are worth abit
I actually made over a grand off that unit

For example I paid about 15$ for the issue that has Walter/Wendy Carlos (guy who did famous album in 60's called "Switched on Bach" with Moog synth) discussing his sex change... very rare interview but has music/synth interest. I'm sure there are others like that... but generally yea there are an awful lot of these magazines around still so not worth that much.
looks like a indian head penny
hey as long its making you money its all good everyone has gotta make thier money some way
good start!!
The great ones are few and far in between, much like I learned about the cars. Just gotta know what to look for in both. I went today and didn't get anything, cheapest unit was 50 and had barley anything in it. Used car prices are outrageous here as of late. The bad economy has everybody trying to make a buck anyway they can & the cheap police/gov auctioned cars dried up for me in Feb this year. Too little profit in that wait for paperwork vs craigslist buy it today and sell it today/tomorrow.
As someone who has been to a lot of these auctions & bought a lot of lockers, I know these storage shows on TV are total bullshit. I find them unwatchable. I found some decent lockers & also lockers that were a total waste of time.Keep in mind that for the most part, the people who lose these lockers are not usually going to leave something really valuable. Don't waste a lot of money bidding on these lockers.
the cuff links are old 1901 American pennys very collectable
1901 indian wheat penny they can be pretty valuable if not defaced. Btw Do you still have that old family Bible that was laying on the dresser in this video? I love looking at old Bibles and would be interested in that
Those cuff links are pennies
yeah im used to making 800 to 1200 bucks off a car but thats getting harder to do bc every one see you make that kind of money off a car and they wanna get into it witch drives the prices of the cars up.then that cuts into your profit but it gos with anything you deal with buy sale or trade if you dont know the value of that item you will not be buying selling or trading that item for very long
YOu are so right. The popularity will die off soon and the prices will drop again.
Value on the 1901 pennies isn't much, their not perfect condition so worth ~$8 each for badly rubbed coins. They have liberty written across the Indians headband if perfect. But as you had carpets, the dresser, and sowing machine and ray bans, overall should make a decent profit before anything else is considered.
Keep the old sleeping bag, great for lying on while working under a car!
nice video where are you from?i bet you made your money back with the sewing machine and dresser alone
Now there is an educated comment. So many people do not see value in reselling. You are correct. The dresser alone brought a HUGE chunk of change. It was a very desirable mid century modern piece.
Great I am sure the people that lost this stuff that routinely end up crying and begging at these storage places for being late on their rent are happy you made five dollars!
Those indian things are very early wheat pennies. It looks like somebody just put the other thing over it like that but they are definatly wheat pennies.
that's exactly what they are there the Indian wheat penny and they're worth a lot of money those are in excellent shape and you're right about the cufflink just going over it it's just got those little hooks holding the penny in those are worth big money

+brian the phoenix balloons are actual coins if those are real and not a copycat with a bullion and can be in the you may be correct if it is any real wheat penny anywhere $500 plus all depends on the year

Lol you're gonna use the hell out of that trash can if you keep buying units ;)
Sick! And I thought "Storage Hunters" is just a shiw but dude you really can do that!! Sick america.!
Woah,Woah, Woah, Tiffany cuff links, 10,000 $$$
trust me I know good find I enjoyed the video
bet those playboys get saved for a few more years 😂😂
omg those Indian pennies are super rare and worth money
+Alieneatcat Starspawn No They aren't! . the 1900-1909 ones are practically worthless except if in AU-50 condition which they aren't. He Would be lucky to get 20$ for all 4 Even If the holders were sterling.
ahhh indian head pennies those are nice hope you got a couple bucks for those cufflinks or held on to them
The Indian head penny you found can be worth up to or more about $25,000 if it's real good find
It really depends. In this case you are right.
As a coin it's worth about $2 but as a jewelry piece it's worth around $20
Yeah real good find
+Chris Brown You are among the minority... Most people think it was a dumb buy... but they don't understand how good some junk is.
Actual Indian Cents made from copper. Certan years profitable and condition plays a major part.
I used to sell sewing machines like that as boat anchor's ..they not worth much, or hauling around....maybe $50.......but, You should do ok on the playboys.. and you should also check the penny cuff links..to see if their gold..
CHOO-CHOO WEEKES You are right about the sewing machine. We got around that much. The Dresser made us the most money. Very easy unit.
CHOO-CHOO WEEKES Those cuff links aren't gold, copper probably, but depending on the year and type of coin they could be worth lots
I have been doing this and dumpster diving for a while. It is extra money for me.
how did it work out dry cleaning that sleeping bag. You do not dryclean sleeping bags. Read the washing instructions.
Sir. Take the cuff links to a coin dealer, Those are coins mounted in cuff links.
bigfoot80. We did, that were worth a little
FriscoJarretts
my right ear enjoyed this video
This unit wasn't in Milford NH would it? Because I noticed a lot of stuff my dad use to own. I mean I lot of that stuff looks real familiar.
deadmans14 No, Texas
Those Cufflings made out of what looked like Indianhead Pennys sure were pretty but I gotta wonder how much they would actuallly be worth. They seem like the type of thing that is either very collectible or they could be rather worthless nick-nakes
I agree not much but better than nothin. Best i ever did on a unit was 10k and that was pre storage wars/auction hunters/storage hunters. Since then the shows have sucked all the profit out it with the noobs, but it's coming back around though lately. Alot of doubling and tripling as of late.
The cuff link has an old coin, it was a indian head penny, only worth abnout 25 cents, i would love to buy it, i have a few of those, just got one today in fact.
bottom feeding on the misfortune of others. sick puppies
is it really worth it? All the time and effort to clean it out, finding buyers, etc.
I think they have to be pre 1900 to be worth a lot, but I still think that they might be worth 50 bucks
so we see some currency and some coins,now everyone is a numismatist.not everything old is worth money,not everything worth money is old.
Better save those playboys they will raise in value compared to the new ones you can get good money for the old ones
Nice to see an honest video instead of all the fake idiots, looks as though you did ok for what you paid.
+Stephen powerhousesteve Thats what my channel is about. Nothing fake!
Thought my audio was broken seriously whoever works your audio needs to get better at it
LOL, it was filmed on an Iphone.
Jacob Ward it was filmed 4 years ago
