The old 78 rpm records are the gems of the lot.

Much great stuff here! Most, if not all of the paper has value, especially the old Sams' Photofact manuals, the old Hawkins' electrical books and of course, the Chilton's manuals. The manuals, especially the automotive books don't have to be in great shape...just usable. The Brownie 620 camera is also quite collectible. Old country vinyl is currently hot, especially originals by since deceased artists. The "loose vinyl" Records are 78 RPM singles, and made of shellac based material, and very fragile. Really sought after by collectors. Handle carefully. Ivory soap boxes are REALLY old, probably early 20th century. They probably have cleats on the bottom, spaced so the boxes will interlock somewhat when stacked.

Matt, if you're going to be doing storage units regularly, I'd suggest getting a trailer hitch for your SUV and renting U-Haul trailers as needed. The price of two daily van rentals will pay for the hitch/accessories, and from then on you can just rent an enclosed U-Haul trailer for $15-20 for the day. Can do everything in one haul, no need to mess up the interior of your SUV, etc. Just a thought.

Why not set up boxes and sort as you go. Seems it would save time and have to do it twice . A trash / recycle can. 😁😁

Lol, you can always tell an eBayer by their love of shelving! The first thing I thought when the video started was ooh I could use that shelf :D

Lots of people do canning nowadays so the mason jars will be popular although I do not know the value. Also, gardeners may enjoy the seeds which may or may not still sprout.

IRS Business Law is you have to hang on to documented income and costs for 7 years before destroying

Step one. Create an amazon seller account...the free one. Step 2. Download the Amazon seller app, and scan all those books. I would send in anything that has value and ranked 1 million or less...

32:46 the vinyls in the ivory box are 78's they go back to the old victrola days. 30's and 40's.

If it worked that Kitchenaid mixer is from the 70's like that television, then it can be worth up to $300 used.. those things hold their value and the older ones are usually worth more than new ones.

Matt, some older mason jars can bring a good price! They have dates listed on the jars!

Canning jars go for about .50 each when they are used. They are used for preserving food. The Kerr lids are for that purpose too.

I like how calm you are.

A couple of things I noticed. the boxes are all old and nothing in the boxes I saw were later than 1980's. This locker could have been paid for for years.

For all of the books......check the UPCs (or look them up) on Amazon and if they are worth money list them and send them in to their Distribution Centre. They then would do all of the work for you in shipping. Amazon started out as a platform for book selling so they have descriptions for a lot of books already in their system. At 13:30 the Ball Mason jars look like 500mL jars (2 cups). They can go for $0.50-$0.60 each.

You not knowing many of the artists makes me feel so old, lol. When I was little I knew by heart every song and it's order of both Roger Miller's Dang Me and Marty Robbins Gunfighter Ballads lps. 🎶🎙🎶

Those old Disney VHS tapes in the white plastic covers are selling for good money.

Don't throw away the old books! I would like the Sears Catalogue at 20: 30. Christmas ornaments that are old are valuable. A lot of people are looking for books especially a large group of people that are crafters and junk journals. Readers Digest are in that category and old catalogs. Paid for the unit with the first box of electrical things. Fun, good luck.

You made your money back on that first box of circuit breakers. I enjoyed !

Great finds guys! Buying Storage Units is our passion. It's great to see others getting involved in it as well!

Its a pain but make sure you go through all those books - Folks used to stash cash in them :)

Don't know if they have value, but I grew up listening to those records. Giving away my age

That box of string hurts. I think the person took what they wanted and neatly stacked the rest on the side??? I Like these kind of videos, thanks for sharing your adventures.

Kitchenaid, Artisan, you can resell - bowls still available! Easy to repair.

Big names from the 50's and 60's, 70's on those records. I can't believe you haven't heard of most of them, lol

Time stamp 20:05 Chilton manuals the writer that started it all passed away so their value might increase especially on the older ones

You need to learn how to tell your antique Christmas ornaments from newer ones and BOOKS are good..

Those Grand Ole Opry records are Collecters

These records in the Ivory box are 78's from the late nineteen teens through the 1950's. They may have some value, but most of yours are relatively common.

The ball jars can be sold as wedding decor. They are largely used for weddings.

I am trying to figure out why people, who buy these units and then try selling the stuff that people had no other choice but to lose it ,so they care make money off the stuff people lost.

Good luck hopefully you find much better things as you go tyfs🙋‍♀️

Also old books can be for interior design 👍🏻

For your Cds, dvds, video games, books, etc, there is an app called Decluttr, spelled like that. You download it and scan the barcodes for that stuff and it'll tell you if they're buying it or not. When you're done and ready you can either print the shipping label or have it mailed to your address. You package up the items they pay to have it shipped. I always hold onto everything and scan for decluttr. Anything left I sell in my yard sale for cheap then whatever doesn't sell I donate to a local thrift store or throw it in the trash. I urge you to keep the cds, DVDs, books, etc until you have a pile of them then just scan all the bar codes to see if they're buying them. Might not be much but worth a try.

these bottles go for around 3.00 a dozen here in canada,keep up the good work lov,your channel

78 rpm vinyl records value can be huge, I hope you didn't just get rid of them.

Hey I discovered your channel just now, awesome video. I really like it you took it slow and showed most of if not all items in the boxes. There are other YT'ers who speed things up, I dont hate it, its their choice, but I do enjoy seeing what they got, and sometimes they dont show everything or they do it insanely fast, under a second of showing item to camera, then moving it off screen. Defently going to check out your channel. Also, love the sausage, LOL. The Smothers Brothers sounds.. Dicey! Andy williams' song "Happy Heart" is pretty populaire, like a cult classic, after it was in some movies. Don't know if the song is on the vinyl though.

All the lp’s are from 40’s up to probably late 70’s. Roger Miller I believe had an orchestra in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s....big band era. Otherwise most are old school grand ‘ole opera

the mason jars are not old enough to have extra value due to age. Still, you can sell them locally and get like ten bucks a box if the box is full.

Those records are 33 1/3 better known as LP's or albums, 78's were smaller and spun discs were commonly made from shellac (The usually only have one song on each side ..You'll know they are made different when you pick them up) .It wasn't until the 1950 they spun them on polyvinyl chloride, Few 78's are spun and pressed on the polyvinyl chloride, 45's took their place quickly, now they are spun and pressed on what is know as simple vinyl..Old 78's are rigid , heavier, then vinyl ,can crack and break ...The original Vinyl is thicker then the newer vinyl now a days which is more light weight and more pliable . LP's are pressed onto vinyl from a master disc ...Yes, they still make them and most record stereos still have the three settings 78, 33 1/3 and 45 .. There is nothing like the sound of Vinyl ....And 78's were recorded in hi fi or high fidelity, they don't have the same sound as stereo that followed ...Depending on the artist and the condition of the records it can bring good money...Having scratches and warping kill it's value regardless of the artist. Having the sleeve or cover helps with the value as well as the condition of the cover.. The sleeveless records themselves should never be stored on top of each other without a sleeve or something between them...Always pick them up by the edges to prevent scratching.. And while I'm here those Mason jars are used for preserves/canning and pickling...The Knorr's box are the lids for them.

the ones without the covers are 78's from 20's and 30's oh ya they brake easy

Just had a trip down memory lane, LOL Man I feel old.

We've bought a handful of units through storagetreasures. A few years ago the deals were awesome, at least here in MI. More people found the site and started going crazy with their bids, so most end up way overpriced. Our first buy was the best. Your unit reminded me of it, except ours was stacked with tubs instead of boxes. Paid $90 and figured the 20 storage tubs had that much value even if they were empty. The best find...One tub was filled with Pokemon cards, all in trapper keepers. Did a lot of learning about Pokemon and sold over $2k worth of cards. Time consuming listing them, but well worth it. Your unit looks like it has some nice collectables. Sadly as a huge music fan it hurts to say most vinyl doesn't have a ton of value(maybe $3-5 avg.). I wish I knew why it's so low, because lp's are as rare as anything else from back in the day.

Seed collection is going to sell well. Preppers know the value.

keep an eye on the value of music compilations that have numerous artists. when record companies make these things, they go through an extended list of artists getting permissions. if some performers decline, no biggie, they just work farther down the list until they fill the record. however, when it comes time to get a 2nd release(if the compilation's sales justify it), it's nearly impossible to get every single one of these exact same artists to renew approvals. so, no matter how popular they are, these compilations never get reprinted, keeping 2nd & 3rd printings from dragging down the value of the 1st printing. same for tapes & cd's. does not apply to short story collections in books, though, as publishers tend to simply purchase stories & novels outright.

those smaller disc,s are the real old 78.s

You should watch things like Coursity Inc. and learn about the things you say you are going to trash and there are books on records at book stores

Boy U really R young when U don’t know the people on records

Depending on condition that Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer could be worth anywhere from $20 to$200. Cameras, Chilton Manuals, Sears catalog all have value for sure. Radio Manuals, old phone books, all sellable on eBay. Reach out to Dusty on the Alabama Pickers channel ...that's all his type of inventory. His brain will be worth picking. Old mason jars, old "Paper" all that stuff Dusty has great knowledge.Remember when doing storage units like this you'll have lots of stuff that will sell for small amounts 5, 7, 10 ,15 dollars but it all adds up and when you cost average it all out you have maybe a quarter in each item. For Records and CDs reach out to Jason T Smith, for cameras reach out to Wheeler and Dealer at The Crazy Pickers Life. Nice score...play it right and you'll make thousands off this unit. And of course Wade at Wades Adventures does storage units like this in high volume and has lots of knowledge. Nice score, for sure!!!

Be nice to those old books....valuable

Well you can start prepping with those mason jars.

Enjoying this video but a couple of recommendations for you (you may already know of them Locker Nuts check on his organization for sorting in his garage and What the Hale$ for profiling). You may or may not pick up a few new ideas. Keep on buying and learning, since this video is 6 months old hopefully you‘ have improved sorting, good job on the video.

Look up the old country CCs. Some of them will be worth money and they will go toward costs on the unit. It looks like this unit has a bit of country stuff check it out before you just toss also see if there is donation items that can come off your taxes.**Downy box contains canning and jelly jars that are newer. The other jars are good as drinking glasses for BBQ's etc.** Old books sell for artists ephemera crafts. Old how to build and craft items may be worth the time to check them out.**Pretty much anything Popular Science is popular**Just donate Readers Digest books. Mostly worthless.** Be safe be well.

Those ivory boxes must be worth a lot, they are great

Those crates are worth money!!!

for current assessment of any vinyl try Discogs thru google search.

Mason jars are used for a lot of things from drinking glasses to crafts and their original use canning food.

Seriously you need a handtruck. Load it up and take the lot to your vehicle. Stuff this onebox at a time milarky.

Brownie camera may be worth ALOT of Money! Collectors item. EBAY, EBAY .

You didn't kill the spider!! Yea!! Wish people would realize spiders are beneficial!!

The ball jars are used by crafters, so yes they have some value.

Paying storage fees for junk is like paying agistment for a dead horse hahahaha

You're saying you need to research and the items are "probable nothing". When they are about things that are something. How will you know how to research things if you have no idea what they are? IMO here are my recommendations: Don't buy anymore storage lockers until you have spent at least 2 years of study on what you may find or have. Go to antique stores, look, read labels ask questions. Read books, books and books on anything antique, collectable and vintage items. (library has lots of these types) Yes if you have a bar code it is a piece of cake but the rest is harder. Often there is no name and you need to know what it is to find anything on it. Museums are good for learning about things and the periods of time they were made and some of the history and usage. If you have an area of knowledge and even expertise branch out a bit on it. Add more to what you know. Shop garage sales, flea markets and church sales for things you know and what they are for. Learn what is a good price. If you keep going on like your are you will fail. Check out "What the Hale$" for their classes and how to sort and decide on what is valuable and what's now. Check out "Curiosity Inc. " to see all that is collectable see his discussions, his recent lecture at a museum about what collectors want and what becomes a collection. Look over his shop. It's amazing. He and his family are very good resources. Watch Taco Stacks for sports memorabilia. I am not listing nearly 1/6th of the channels you need to see. Start to learn then start on small storage sheds. Work your way up. Unless you do IMO you're going to lose your shirt.

My Dad used to play some of those albums. I remember the Smothers Brothers! Johnny Cash was my Dads favorite.

Send to Kitchen Aid See If There is a serial Number and the Co. Might Help? ?

Putting out some quality videos Matt. Enjoying them a lot.

Don't under estimate old catalogues (or sales brochures) - they will usually sell quite well on Ebay. I spent 20 years selling old ephemera on Ebay, it can be a good area to specialise in (and it is usually much easier to pack and send than other stuff).

Good older music, country. Music is the best. Elvisreal cool.

Great for canning with, pickles, fruits.

Vintage xmas decorations are collectable (glass balls)

you should be able to get in 24 hours a day. ask them for a temporary gate code.

Can't believe this video has over 40,000 views! Thank you guys for all the support on it! I still get comments every day on this video and I still respond to them, so keep it coming! Part 2 is out if you haven't checked it out yet! Link is in the description!

Ball jars not worth much but if you find the zinc lids that fit them, they bring decent money.

Now that was fun and you definitely made your money back plus! Good going! And thanks for not killing the spider :)

If you are interested in seeing some of the stuff I've sold from this unit, I do a What Sold on eBay video every Tuesday! Link in the description for my latest one!

ball jars are popular right now people use them as drinking glasses

Those old repair manuals,they will buy them all.even ones not perfect.mechanics want them.ive sold every one I ever got

There is a great market for the cassette recorder!!!

Howard W. Sams repair schematics for radios and TV's these will have value to collectors of old electronics. These give all layouts and voltages/replacement parts for old sets.

my daughter sells boopks on amozon,ebay, and I think craigslist and brings in from 700 to 1200 per week.

It is sad you didn't recognize most or all of those artist on those albums, I knew them all, but guess you are too young? Most of them are in the Country hall of fame!

I grew up in the 60's. Remember a lot of manuals.

If your like me they will do nothing but collect dust LOL

don't forget to flip through the books to make sure there isn't any money between the pages.

Jimmy Dean the singer is the same person as Jimmy Dean the sausage tycoon. 8)

sometimes the covers are worth more than the records

The kitchen mixer looks retro

Kitchen aid, 200 bucks

that old brownie is a score if it still works !!

checked ebay for the old sears catalog and they started at $4.00 to over $200.00 so check the date and then go check ebay

Definitely a country music lover.

I would advise only getting into vinyl if you are actually a fan of it. There are already too many people selling records on ebay and they generally ask WAY more than what they are worth. Plus, as a seller myself (not of records, I sell music instrument parts), eBay's new money back guarantee and it's policies that are very slanted toward the buyer and not in favor of the seller, would make it difficult to sell records on eBay. They're difficult to ship safely, and people will return stuff for literally ANY reason now. If you don't listen to records and collect them, you'll need to learn how to judge the condition of them, which really is only able to be done by listening to them. I collect records, and I still buy new vinyl as well as buying used. Most of what makes it's way into the thrift stores and goodwill are records that aren't collectible. And, our two record stores in the area buy out most of the stuff that comes into thrift stores and goodwill that are actually worth having, at least in my neck of the woods.

A great place, other than Amazon or Ebay to look up books at is ABE Books. They show listings from bookstores all over the country.

Look up Kodak Brownie history for that one, nice! Look up books on Amazon.com. Don't slide 33 and a third records together without covers. UnckeDave

My dad had a box brownie camera in the early 50's

sam photofact repair manuals worth money

hutamaki lol i worked there when i was younger

Check down the spines of books some people hid money in them 👍🏻

If that Big book is by Leica it could have some value

What do you end up doing with the personal papers?? Nice find on some of those repair books and the Sears book, those will all sell.
