If you ever get a bunch of baby stuff that you don't want to deal with selling at the flea market, it can be worth it to bring it to a secondhand store that specializes in baby/kid stuff, like Once Upon a Child, if you have one nearby. They'll go through everything and make an offer on anything they want, then you can just donate whatever is left over!

Me and my husband have been doing this for 3 years now and we love it please don't stop doing it yard you'll get overwhelmed at times but the stuff you could possibly find will be worth it but you have to go thru every little bit cus we've found money in envelopes and in books and behind pictures people hide jewelry in the most odd places we have found over 20 thousand dollars worth of 14 carat gold and sterling jewelry with gems in the 3 years we've been doing this we even found a Rolex watch and also silver coins so please don't give up so easily

To me this is more fun than watching storage wars. I hope you do more of this in the future Melissa cause I love the cheap chick edition of storage wars ❤❤ P.s sending lots of love from Ireland

Mellissa, put it together sweety. a book from the Nicu nurse, brand new baby stuff. This person lost a baby in the nicu. Also please do your research on the fossil items. I looked up the watch and it is possibly around $130. Great haul. I'm looking forward to the next. My mom and I watch all of your videos together. Good luck

Storage wars isn’t real y’all know that right? It’s reality tv only, very much scripted!! The storage units where I have (2) units are full of junk, not worth bidding on…! Enjoy your first unit Melissa, you’re way more fun & interesting than storage wars could ever be!!!

This was definitely an adventure. Rob is such a good sport helping you in all your experiences.

Please do more of these!!! It can be a lot of work. 4 years ago my sister and I bought a unit that was so packed, it took us 3 days with help to get it unloaded. Did we make much money… not really, but we kept at least $200 worth of stuff and it was so fun!!!

The renters may have moved out of the area and it was not worth their time or money to deal with cleaning it out. You do not know that it was a sad situation. Please don’t take on that sadness. Love your videos. You are a genuine caring person, your viewers see that and that’s why we love watching you. Hugs to you for getting through a tough job❤️

A lot of those baby items you could sell at the flea market! Fossil can be worth a little bit of money depending on what model. Try putting the belts in the dryer for just a few mins to heat them up then lay them out flat… it should fix some if not all the belts.

in case you didn't know, that magna nail polish is a magnetic polish, if you get a cat eye magnet you can make those cool cat eye designs.

I use to buy storage units with my parents, we would put it all on a trailer and set out trash cans for the trash, bins for the yard sale items, laundry baskets for the clothes (we washed and donated) and boxes for each of us to keep a few items. We did donate organs, bibles, beds, couches, stuff like that for those in need. We always made sure it was all clean! Good luck with all of this!

That basket (from the beginning) is used in the dishwasher to wash smaller things - put it on the top rack. It's very handy.

You paid for the locker so you can keep everything you want. I think it's so exciting that you branched out. Love watching you.

Baby clothes sell great at the flea market even if you wash them at a laundry mat you can make a profit off of them, love the new stuff you are trying

That toy bar in the very beginning of the video goes to a playmat. You could also wash those boppy pillows in your washing machine.

I wonder if this was a mother that lost her baby. With the NICU book and all of the size 1 diapers, it makes me a little sad to see some of that. And she didn’t open the bassinet even. She may not have wanted to return to the unit. 😢

Baby items can be quite expensive and the things you have shown look to be in excellent condition and pristine. I don’t know anyone who would pay to keep and store items infested with bed bugs 🐜 or anything else. Breast pumps can be cleaned up and sanitized for someone else to use. I would sell entire baby lot for two hundred dollars,,, the breastfeeding pillow alone you showed costs over fifty dollars.

I love watching your You Tube Melissa. I have been sitting working with files ALL DAY. Watching your Chanel is such a relaxing time, I love your exuberance, Don't ever stop. Love, All the way from Australia,

There's a guy (with his wife) that buy storage units and has a KZfaq account. It's Treasure Hunting with Jebus. I love watching his videos.

The baby items were sentimental that's why she saved them. A lot of people have that trait but not all.

Love the hello kitty. I hope you make your money back. Enjoying your hauls.

You’re brave buying a storage unit. I think storage locker buying would be something your Dad would have fun doing. I’m really glad Rob helped you. Go rest, you deserve it. 👍❤️😊

All those items makes me wonder if it belonged to someone who had a sick baby whom they lost, and just couldn't deal with looking at all of the reminders, so they put it in storage. Maybe they thought they would use some of it with a future pregnancy that never happened. So sad. The shelving is very nice. You did well!

I love watching storage wars too. I've seen them all and then watched again. Love watching you with your unit.

You are a brave girl! My husband & I love to watch Storage Wars!. He wants to buy storages, but I am so skeptical & do NOT love touching unknown things or digging into boxes. I love how you keep challenging your mystery loving & one-up-ing yourself. But maybe give yourself a little break because, what could be next??? xo

I loved this video. You should do one with your Dad and one with Jessica. It would be hilarious. Sitting here in pain from the hip replacement and cheered up as soon as I saw your video. You have a way of making everyone feel like they are right there with you and can step away from their problems for a little while. Appreciate and love you Melissa ❤❤❤

Those pots, pans and wigs definitely could have been cleaned and sold or donated

Another idea for some of the things is donating them to a women’s shelter for domestic violence. Most times those women and their children leave with nothing but what’s on their back! I have been in a situation like that years ago. I started my period and I had nothing to use! Thankfully the shelter had something for me. Love your channel!! ❤️ from Michigan

This is more entertaining than Storage Wars!

Hi, Melissa. Most storage unit buyers have a truck or a U-Haul trailer in which to put their "finds". Looks like you got your investment back, with the Graco bassinett, and 100% plus profit with all the small things you found. You could get at least $3 a pack for feminine products and the watch bands would sell well for $5 each. Watch batteries are about $3 each, then you could sell those two watches for $10 a piece. If the DVD player works you could get $5 for it. Even the generic brands of those are selling for around $30 at Wal-mart. (The two ends of the broken necklace would make beautiful earrings. They just need to be removed from the chain pieces and hung on earwires. I make jewelry and refurbish/repurpose old necklaces and stuff. Just one of my many "crafty" talents.) Not a bad haul.

Just a suggestion for future videos like this. Place the camera down so it faces into the box so we can view the items whether trash or not. We want to see what is in the unit. You do not need to hold up each item that way. My best storage unit buy was a complete Dollar Store that had closed down. It even had the cash registers with starting day cash in each one. I was able to sell the items back to a local thrift store to me for 25 cents each. My worst unit had bags of crystal meth in it and after throwing that away (the police told me to just throw it away) there was not much left. I just broke even on it. So it is a gamble just like the mystery boxes you buy.

Mil Disorder acting up so I can't spell your name now but you scored girl!! Some might say not much but it's the not much that will rack you in the money! The baby bassinet you could sell for a easy $100:00 Dollars. It would be easier if you had a truck or van or even a trailer to do these! You did bite off a little more than you could chew but you got it done! So happy for you! Great Video Thumbs Up

Always, look through everything, you can never tell what or where people put valuables!

I think ya did pretty good for your first storage unit..not bad at all girl..fun vid!!! Happy selling!!! You love a mystery and what better way to find one by looking through everyone else's junk haha!!! Have a great day girl xoxo ❤️

You should try and find out if that's an old diesel watch. Diesel is having a bit of a comeback right now. Especially like 90's early 2000's diesel :)

Ya crazy girl, 🤣🤣and I love it, lol this was soooo much fun thank you,what about the wigs ?❤❤

all of the baby stuff I would've washed and donated and the mattresses are waterproof which single moms would love

You did any awesome job. I am glad Rob could help you . Nice score on the items you kept. Love the video

My brother has a best friend who's family has owned a large storage unit facility for years. Unfortunately, once the time has lapsed and the units become abandoned they actually thoroughly go through each unit before auctioning them off. They then repack the units and place locks on them. The day of the auctions they cut the locks off (even though they have the keys) to make it seem legit. I personally think what they do is disgusting, but sadly it seems to be a very common practice in the storage unit business.

The book from the NICU.. you may want to return it to the storage place to return to her...That crib may have been meant for that baby. She may have another living child but my heart is with her right now for her potential loss.

I hate to tell you that a lot of people sell used Brest pumps, after they clean and sanitize them. They can go for a decent amount of money. The things you're calling bracelets are watch bands, I believe.

I use those bags for bagging my baby’s dirty diapers before chunking them into the diaper garbage bin. I get them from the Dollar Tree!

You definitely have an eye for bargains. fingers crossed for your next sale that it goes better than ever

Melissa!!!! Sweetie, you need to watch some KZfaq videos of people that buy storage lockers. You got rid of things you could have made money on. You have potential but there is a lot to learn! Watch What The Hales, Jeebus, oh my goodness, there are so many and all so different but very cool. Good luck to you!!

The green and white “basket” it to use in the dishwasher for baby bottle nipples and different little things

Please consider doing this again sometime in the future. I also watch "Storage Wars" and love it but your version is so much better! Maybe next time though a little planning might make it easier? Love your videos!

I took the cutest picture the other night of my dog Callie watching your video. She seems to really like you and always watches when you are on the screen. It was so cute!!! Keep doing what you do!! Love your channel!!

Haven’t watched you in a bit, sooo I was pleasantly surprised with you getting a storage unit. I really miss watching you. I’ll try harder. Good luck!

The hardest part about getting these units for me is when you find memorabilia like pictures It meant something to someone 😬

Hey Melissa , I think it's great you got a storage unit! All the baby stuff can be donated to a mother's home as they need it badly! Wash all the clothes as they'll appreciate all of it! I'm so glad Rob is helping you today as doing this is a huge job by itself! The basement is definitely a huge score!

looks like the Chanel one might go over top of the one that you thought with wear and tear with a little perfume looking top sometimes those cases have a clear case that goes over a dark case

Oh, you have the storage fever! I see another one of these in your future!

Baby stuff always sells and makes good profit as alot of people don't have the money to buy new. I bought my breast pump second hand and just gave it a good sanitise after. X

This was great. I also loved storage wars on tv and on youtube Locker Nuts is my favorite storage locker buyer. I learned from him that you do get a load of junk and he has all sorts of resources to dispose of that junk. He also has found absolute treasures. Appreciate that you tried it for your subscribers!

Look into buying a small trailer that Rob can haul behind his suv. Have you ever watched “what the hale$”? They call their lives “funemployed” instead of unemployed. Love everything you do.

All the packages of unused diapers and the bassinet that was never unboxed worries me, especially since the baby was in the NICU.

I would have taken all the fabric stuff/clothes to laundry mat & washed everything, then to donation center.

Exciting and a little nerve racking lol. Make sure you look through the gift cards for money in or on the plastic ones. Books too. Much love from Minnesota 💖💖💖

You are a wonderful lady with such a big heart I love watching your content 🤩🤩🤩🤩

There is an expiration date on all car seats. Looks like you did very well. Baby stuff may not be your thing but there are a lot of ppl that could really use that stuff. ❤😊

Those baby pillows are used for nursing babies and the covers comes off and you can wash them and donate to the woman’s shelter!!!

Another day of shanagans for the cheap chick. Pretty fun video. I always wondered what bidding on a storage unit would be like. You always make it look so fun and interesting.

Your full of surprises this is why I love your channel and your videos ❤️❤️❤️

I hope you find everything in there that you would love to have And hope you make a bunch of money !! Good luck and God bless!!

You sell things SO cheap. You could sell those watch bands for at least $5.00 each. You put a LOT of effort into getting that storage unit emptied. You could other things for much more as well. I am sure buyers wouldn't mind paying a little extra. It would still be a GREAT deal.

I buy lockers in Australia. I had to buy a big van to bring everything home and Im lucky enough to have HEAPS of room at home to store it all. It IS ALOT of work...its not easy AT ALL. Well done to you

Melissa, Baby stuff sells like crazy at yard sales, especially toddler underwear. When I had a yard sale the underwear was the first to go. Baby clothes and toys sell really well. You could make some money back for the storage.

It was exciting to see what you got.

YOu can hang the belts on a hanger or something, place them in the sun, and they will straighten out.

Bedding baby items can all be cleaned. If you have a power steamer use that on the car seat. I’m sure you will be able to donate the items you don’t use. Anything can be cleaned and disinfected.

Please do this again I loved this .

You might be able to straighten some of them belts warming them with a blow dryer.

I love the new adventure . Glad things worked out for you too. Can’t wait to see the next one 😬

I love you got excited over whiteout! I totally would have to.

Hi Melissa. I can not believe you bought a storage unit. All the baby clothes, you can donate them to families that can not afford clothes for their babies. God Bless the one big score you got. I enjoyed this video. Stay safe. I have not been feeling well for a few days. Fell Saturday and I am still sore today. Love you Melissa. Until later. Maria. 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇🙏🙏😇😇😇

Boyfriend is binge watching Storage Wars as I watch you, Melissa!

This was an awesome video! I love watching people buy storage units. From what you found in that unit, I think that lady lost a baby and just let that stuff go.

With all the work you did, you deserve the bowl. And I'm glad you're keeping more items.

The belts would do best rolled a like your sock drawer. Just show buckle up at sale.

I love your positivity. I love that you took the angle of recognizing that you got a good workout out of this!

Melissa, I was sitting here holding my breath and hoping that you would at least make your money back. So glad that you did. I’ve never bid on a storage unit. I’m sure someone will snap up the bassinet quickly. Another fun video! Thanks for sharing your experience! Fun to watch!

You could use the nappy sacks to clean up after your dog when you go for a walk

I just love your 90 mph energy

Wash the clothing and add about a cup of Pine-Sol. It will kill the smell.

Oh how fun i have always wanted to do this! Just started this video hope you find some good stuff and make your money back plus more! Can't wait to see!

I watched Storage Wars forever and even though I had a couple of favorites, you're the best. It was great! I hope you get your money back. But the donations alone should make you feel good.

I hope you kept the speakers I am pretty sure you could sell them at the flea markets maybe for as much as $25.

OMG you have to get your dad in on it next time!!!!!! I think he would LOVE getting a unit!

Melissa your one brave reckless girl…..I’ve just moved house recently and it was possibly the most stressful thing I’ve ever done, your storage adventure is bringing back memories of that move…….I reckon this is your first and last storage unit…….life’s too short………

Super Fun Video. Thank you for sharing your treasure hunt . Looked like a lot of hard work, but you did great. Love your attitude and smiles

That seems like a lot of work 🥵. But now you know..and maybe next time a smaller one 😁👍

I was wondering what Rob thought about buying a storage unit. I know that it was a ton of work for you, but I would love to see you get one again.

The Diesel watch could be worth something if it's legit. Wish you all the best from Ireland xx

Fun! I think this was fun ! You didn't loose, you gained. It's all ok. And it gives you more of a variety at the Flea Mk. Ha! I bet you do do it again. I bet you do. Laurie

I think those fossil straps were watch bands & could be worth something.

Interesting and very strange finds . Score on the Baby crib thing .. i watch Storage Wars too .. l .. tfs Jill

Love this blog. I'm surprised they didn't just want you to empty the locker and go through it elsewhere rather than do it onsite

Wow!! That's alot of stuff!! You just never know what you will end up with in there. Hugs to Paco!! ♥️♥️

That basket is for bottles ♡ Is their a shelter nearby? You can donate all the miscellaneous baby stuff your usure of.

my experience is that all baby related items are the best seller's by far alest for me
