make sure you bring your driver's license cash locks and you got to have a flashlight o light okay best light there is out there we use it love it there is a sale coming up we love to tell you when they have sales august 13th starting at 8 p.m eastern standard time it's going to be like 20 off site wide i'm gonna actually give you links down below uh keychains free keychain lights with all of your purchases you can get just about anything and everything these are just some of the ones i just got i love my new that one ah that's the tactical light this one is a limited edition that one's super cool as well you can get your hands on all of them as well it'll be in the pinned comment in the links let's go find some treasure see what's in here about time you guys showed up for work today today on what the hails what we're going to do i'm going to show you how to not make money how to lose money at a storage auction and then we're going to flip the tables i want to show you exactly how to make money without even buying a unit we're back at the unit that i didn't even buy i don't even know how i got it but jesse of clear thrifts paid the auctioneer one dollar one dollar it's not even my money patience one dollar for me to get this unit so we've got to find some profit here how much do you think it's worth for 75 bucks 75 okay well we did find we looked at the actual vanity a little bit earlier in an early episode but we did find the mirror we did find that you should make shift seat this isn't the original you see how it doesn't slide in there so this isn't an original but it's a makeshift we found it all we found the extra drawer missing if we clean this up we could easily in our area and it is regional dependent okay your area may be very different we clean this up wipe it down we'll get 150 to 200 somebody's going to want to actually chalk paint this and then restore it and distress it not that it's not distressed enough already how did you think that much i did not know all right hand on your belly button sorry and what do you think here we've got a stove what do you think you would not pay a thing for it no it's gross okay this stove is pretty rough extremely rough this for me again i would not even spend the time cleaning it up nor would i pay employees and part of my business is the scale of business i have to pay employees to actually do the work as well i can't handle it all i'm running multiple businesses so i have to take that expense all new account this for me we would be looking at scrap all right christian you do all the scrap runs how much money you think you'll get for this uh like 60 cents all right 60 cents there you go it cost me more to actually move it and then it's descend christian to go scrap it i'm losing money at this point now here we have a refrigerator christian take a peek inside how's it look uh looks kind of nasty oh yum did you just say yum yeah she said yum all right patience how do you make money with without even selling a refrigerator do you know no take a guess take a wild gus besides scrapping it i don't know we're not gonna scrap it guess how can you make money i'm gonna clean it up and serve all right we're not gonna sell it oh i don't know then you have no clue no okay so here's the thing your utility companies in every state around the united states will come and pick it up they will give you 50 working or not in regards to refrigerators so we can make fifty dollars here instead of the scrap value so we can call we can say hey come pick it up schedule time they'll pick it up i get fifty bucks i still have to pay you guys to haul it and then store it and then for the call and be there and ready for them to pick it up in all reality it's not enough to make me any money we'll probably just scrap it i'll lose less money scrapping it okay we did find some boxes though right yeah all right let's dig into some boxes next patients okay there's this says it's from 1992 was it department 56 you see any markings on it no it just says seasonal specialties and it looks like it sold for four dollars and 50 cents not sure we're going to get too much out of it no anything else in there there's a ladybug belly button ring nice and a diamond a penny all right 11 cents we got 11 cents all right here's another box check that box out now admittedly we went through all of these boxes ahead of time we actually got all the garbage out so it's logical we now are showing you the things that we think will resell seated i used to play this game you played that one of course i did well again were you a wolf or a vampire uh this taylor lautner you were you were a wolf i think this guy looks weird i would agree so patience was all for the wolves yeah what do you think's in there i don't know oh that's a gun cleaning kit you guys didn't tell me you found that i didn't know what in here you didn't even look no okay so we actually we have a little money there that's a gun cleaning kit these look like t-shirts uh they are they're scraps of t-shirts and you put that through the barrel oh nice that's a winchester gun cleaning kit that's actually probably a good 20 bucks oh cool finally finding some profit then this it's all three of them oh this one's not even open sealed yeah how much did how much did they buy it for can you see this is 19.99 all right so maybe if we get 10 bucks we'd be happy yeah does it gotta find profit we have to because my expenses are huge so we have there we go we've got some more video game controllers look at this here redneck girl who's that remind you of christian who's that reminds you of uh i don't know what redneck girl what well nope all right so uh i meant who does who does the charters of freedom who's that reminds you of uh nobody like thomas jefferson we're gonna steal the declaration of independence here we've got it there we go they're the we the people so this is probably just a little bit of a little thingy majiggy there okay and let me call george see how she's doing out phone's broken oh it's magically on now yeah george i was i was like george no she's not answering okay all right we've got uh we got a little lighthouse here thing with dolphins that's got to be worth almost nothing okay how about this thing right here didn't you guys just tell me you sold one for how much we didn't sell one we posted one ebay though you did post one yeah forty dollars so you think it's forty dollars okay so that could be forty dollars right the one you posted it have a box no all right so we could have a good 40 there we've got we've got some more christmas lights there we've got uh i don't know some kind of gummy gummy ring or something i don't know maybe it's for christmas this could be a christmas ornament too not sure on that one um and well there we go we got a barbie we got a barbie empty box in this box we got some books got twilight the holocaust this one doesn't even have a name oh wait the short second life of bree tanner buffy the vampire slayer this was the greatest show that was yeah i watch it every morning there's your money right there what are those those are kids books avengers cars disney's there you go all right so we got some money right there yeah that's actually worth something these will go well and then he revealed dude the whole series those are duck dynasty playing cards put those in a playing card lot no david all right some more twilight over there yeah the rest are just great here's what we got over here we've got a china hutch it is solid wood but it's not a hardwood it's pine it's a soft wood so if i clean this all up oh look at that look at that let's see what's in there if i clean this all up some kind of safety fit i don't know what that's for just kind of love it's a baby glove if you clean it up i can get probably 200 for this now you may be thinking oh look here look at here look at here we got we dangerous oh not in there we got an old mason jar propel world champion poker so to clean this up i can make 200 probably pretty easily now the issue with this unit is you wouldn't even believe it if i show you here come take a look patience come take a look with christian here the issue and how i'm going to lose money on this unit is see all of this all of that right there all of that right there is complete and total garbage 99 of this unit is garbage that's why i didn't bid on it and that's why i'm gonna lose money on it even though there are some things that will recoup my expenses my time costs money my fuel costs money my employees cost money the space cost money when you're at the scale of a business that i'm at this is actually a losing venture for me which is why i didn't buy it but thankfully thankfully i have friends like jesse of thirst who paid a dollar for it for me remember friends don't let other friends bid on storage units for them nothing but love for you jesse i did find a few other things like right here here's a dandy there's a plush that'd be worth something uh is this nala that's nala right yes uh we found this earlier we found a few other things like here here's a bunch of matchbox a bunch of matchbox hot wheels we should do okay there now christian you actually looked this up on ebay how much is it going for a new one sold for 70 okay so that was a new one so if we could get 20 bucks for that i'd be happy so we've got some knickknacks paddy wax and give a dog an apple but other than that this unit really there's not much more in there we did find some cash in the first episode so the biggest expense is going to be trash and employee expenses on this one but now i want to transition and i want to show you how to go to an auction and how to make money without even buying a unit just like i didn't buy this one and i'm going to lose money but i also went to an auction where people were making money without ever buying a unit you can't wait to see this you just never know what the hell is going to happen terms are cash cash only if you do not clean the unit out uh you don't get your fifty dollars back there's a fifty dollar charge for each just here tom charges a fifty dollar clean out fee clean out fee you go to the office after you've cleaned it out they come and look at it you get your fifty dollars back so uh remember that um affordable what you see is what you get as always you can't go in the units you can stand here and look at it all you want and uh we got how many units here there's 14 here 14. and he told me 10. so i've got an ad that there's 14 units because affordable has four he usually has pretty nice units so there's 14 here plus 12 pallets then we're going out to horrible on north main and he's got four units so it's 14 units and 12 pallets we're going to be a little while j i'm glad we got a nice size crowd since we've had so many units 14 here and four on yeah 25 35 35 45 45 55 55 65 65 middle 165 on 5565.75 75.85 85.95 95 under 195. 100 110 110 120 120 over 120 30 minutes or even a darn thirty hundred twenty thirty i'm 120 30 minutes with 130 but i'm going to earn 300 20 30 minutes with 930. i'm in 120 30 minute of an hour and 30. we're going to move along i sold 120 right here she needs your name and phone number i like boxes especially when they have money right on top of them fragile kitchen [Music] it looks like just householder probably nothing collectible in here kitchen counters little decor and clothing all right on this unit what do you want to give to go somebody get 25 to start it you give 10. 10 15 15 20 20 25 30 30 35 35 40 49 45 45 45 50 50 55 55 million buying 50.55 i'm 50 dollars another 25 50 55.55 anybody else is 55. i'm with 55 60. 16.65 65. i'm a number six provider i'm a sixty dollar buy buy a number of dollars if you buy mom at 16.65 70. 75. 70 buy a minimum without anything 78.95 he said no sold at 70 right here now they're auctioning off choice of pallet of merchandise so there's probably 15 pallets to actually choose from cards envelopes interesting concept cards envelopes looks like finger paint here so cases and cases of finger paint and i guess it's all the same color get to choose whatever palette you want and everything on the palette that's choice of palette you get to choose whatever palette you want mr hales that's right up here pallets are pallets are not up my alley 40. total [Music] you said that the last time 55 right here number three he wants three what's [Music] hangers for clothing that's what you need for all your vintage tees so now now the auctioneer's saying does anybody else want one for fifty dollars so we'll give uh they'll give an opportunity anybody else wants it then they'll go again so eleven pallets are left [Music] so definitely household interesting case right over there all right look at that old apple computer you see that right there apple printers apple computers and there is the safe that apple computer could be worth quite a bit of money there's the safe but the key is with the safe interesting very interesting 75 80 80 85 85 and 185 180 dollar five final 185 ninety nine in the nineteen ninety five ninety five hundred hundred dollars 110 110 10 20 120 of the time it's 30 130 135 30. i'm 120 300 30 millimeter on the output 125 there's a safe the key is there probably nothing on it 125. he wants 100 25 last chance that's what the laptop is probably worth not for sure got it for 120 that's a nice buy the power of the old yeah your luggage 25 who get 25 to go 25 35 i'm 25 35 35 35 points i don't think it's worth my labor my time in the neighborhood shotgun shotgun it's a lot of who stores a loaded gun look at that it's actually loaded whoever buys it whoever buys it be careful we are allowed to sell it because it's an on-premise sale and we don't have to do paperwork you gotta love the state of ohio i love ohio that's right non-concealed i think yeah i think he jammed it is there a lock you can at least you got the one jam out the chamber is full man what brand is it okay it's an empty shotgun all right now it's making me feel better he got the jam out there there were two in there so now it's empty model 660 noble thank you for doing that all right on this unit let's go what do you want to get for it somebody give a hundred go give a hundred dollars get fifty fifteen i'm going to
