Absolute Jackpot in this Abandoned Storage Unit!

Thanks for watching! I had no idea this would become so controversial. Certainly don’t like the ruffle any feathers, this is just business. We gave all the personal stuff we found back to the manager. I also made sure the manager was ok with us giving up our deposit to not have to clear out the unit. There was just too many big items in there for us to fit on the truck. She was super cool about it and said she would just call her junk removal guy and pay the $100 to him. Anyway, thanks again and I hope you enjoyed the video, even though you may have disagreed with some portions 😊

I think people are being unnecessarily too hard on you and I would love to see more videos like this, you did good. Not paying your storage unit bill is just like not paying another type of bill you have, don’t pay your mortgage your house gets repossessed, we all know how it works so it makes no difference what the original owner wanted, your the owner now and life goes on. Great video! Hope to see more.

it seems like the previous owner of the unit had his own contractor business. He most likely spent years building up that collection of tools, extremely sad to see this happen to people. I hope you guys end up being able to give back the personal info to the owner. Also great find for you guys! easily the unit is worth 4-5 grand in total on the low end

Imagine the person that lost this unit watched this video..All the personal things and thier tools gone from their business.. No fault to Josh of course.Its just sad.The man lost everything.

Years ago before storage wars was a thing. I had a storage unit and the facility auctioned off my unit for like $170. Come to find out they did their accounting wrong and i took them to court and was award $6000. It wasn’t about the money but the personal stuff I lost because of it. The death of my sons belonging, my daughters first dress, high school memories, my collectibles, etc. I lived out of state and stored my stuff while I was gone and I never knew what they were doing. When I see things like this, it’s just sad to know someone’s life is up for sale and no one knows the back story.

That was awesome! Lots of work involved, but it was worth it! Thanks for sharing! I hope the original owner gets some of their important stuff back. That’s the hardest part about auctions like this, it’s someone’s life that was affected to the point where they lost a lot of valuable belongings. That’s kind of sad.

I can see why the owner was very interested in getting this unit back. Those Tools are worth more than you paid for the unit.

It’s a great find. Can’t help but feel sad for the person who’s lost everything. Sounds like they really want their stuff. Might be in a desperate situation. Can’t think why else they wouldn’t meet their payments.

Don't get me wrong I am not against buying storage units but I feel sad when I see one like this . These items probably had a lot of sentimental value as well as monetary value. It makes you wonder what happened. Glad you did so well !

Honestly lol you two are like kids on Christmas morning with your anticipation "hurry, what is it!"? I hope that you two do this again! I always like when people bring the units its home & take their time so we all can watch!

You guys are so smart. Your channel needed something new to get a new audience in even though you’re KILLING it with your content period but your channel was stalling compared to the boom awhile back so I’m guessing this is an attempt to get another boost. SUPER SMART.

You have to be careful about not cleaning out units, some storage facilities will ban you from participating in their auctions if you fail to clean out to many units (even with the deposit). But you found a great unit.

That's massive. The SNAP-ON box full of tools is worth thousands. Sick haul.

Storage units can be very profitable. Locker Nuts scored some amazing units filled with designer clothes/shoes, high end trains, vintage toys and gaming cards. Definitely something to ponder for future.

Hey Josh, I just wanted to share with you that forgoing your deposit to leave trash in the unit is not a best practice in this industry. Typically the deposit is paid in case people don’t take everything out of the unit they buy. It covers the cost of labor and disposal. It’s not offered as an option to just leave trash in the unit for them to clean up. Typically if you leave stuff in a unit you get banned from buying at future auctions. So don’t be surprised if you do get banned from that specific facility or the company running the auction. This type of behavior has negative consequences on those of us that buy units regularly. Storage units are a lot of work and when you commit to buy, you are buying the trash and the treasure. Please don’t forget that if you decide to do this again in the future. Congratulations on your finds.

Totally understand that this is business, but it still makes me sad that someone lost all of those things. Lots of really valuable and seemingly sentimental items. Glad that you were able to return some of the items back to the previous owner - they were lucky that you guys bought it and not someone that would have trashed all of that and not bothered.

Can't help but feel bad for the people who lost all of this stuff. Looks like someone's entire life packed into a box and now it's gone because they fell on hard times.

Not sure what auction site you used, but we were told by a couple facility managers that if you do not clean out your unit and lose your cleaning deposit that you are also banned from the site for 3 months. Might want to look into that if you haven't been notified. We always make sure to completely clean the units out, including sweeping.

Happy that you were so successful in your storage unit items AND happy that Dean was able to benefit from the tool haul.

Hairy im a full time 11 year professional mechanic i work for David Bales Buick GMC of Jacksboro TN, i can tell you first hand that box and all those tools can easily bring you $5000,7500 easily. Those blue point impacts and drills are 300,500 each those wrench sets are over 300 each screw driver sets are about 200-250 each and all the smaller tools could have huge hidden value depending on the tool and what its purpose for, i highly recommend you find a Mechanic in your area that would come look and appraise those tools that box alone is a 2500,3500 box. Good luck and great video!!
