I so appreciate two adults doing this. You treat things with respect.

I think it's great that y'all give back personal items that you could throw away. It's bad enough that people go through hard times, but it always makes me smile when i hear the buyers say, "We'll give these back to the owner." It shows respect for the persons loss. Thank you for all you do! Good luck in all of your endeavors! ❤

It really is awesome! I do it to! I could not live with myself knowing that I took someone’s personal belongings and didn’t try to give them back. So many facilities have told me that most people who win these auctions do not return the items and 4 out of the 5 facilities that I just bought from said they don’t even want you to leave their personal belongings behind with them, because they have been trying for months to get in contact with the owners. I still return them because I do not want that to fall back on me but it is just sad especially when someone’s whole life is in a unit.

Hi if u have any old coins let me know thank you

This has made up my mind for me. My husband died three years ago. We we married 58+ years and he spent 12+ years in the Navy. Everywhere he went he bought souvenirs and I have almost everything. I was a serious sewer and crafter to so I have a storage unit that I’m paying $155 months and had another that was $65. Gradually we emptied the smaller one. Sold some things but not enough to make a big dent. We, my daughter and I had an all day yard sale and made $200. I’d rather donate it that for people to talk me down to $1 or$2 on my nice things. I will start loading up my van tomorrow.

Its got to be hard to get rid of the life long collections, but I agree that donating it will give someone more appreciation than the hours you spent rummage selling for $200. I ran 2 rummage sales in my life, and no more. Not worth the loss of the days. Never forget, keep the memories, not all the things. Gotta keep a few momentos though. 😊

In the future, take it to a local auction and have them sell it for you. Some auction companies will come to your location and give a cash offer then haul it off for you and sell it for themselves. Yard sales will never give you market price for anything and should be the last effort to sell before going to the dump or donation. If you can take a tax write off then donation would be the best way to go.

My dad had a Gold Omega Constellation watch from the 50's, I believe it was 18k. If that's what you have, it's worth over $12,000.

Save the paper! I’ve been an ephemera collector for years, and the market is great for the wallpaper, greeting cards, etc. Also, sell the mosaic in lots. Mixed media artists will buy it.

I appreciate your kindness and respect for your returning family heirlooms. I’m sure she didn’t know the locker was for auction except on a late notice from family, she would have retrieved it before the sale……Communication is key for family. Especially with elderly members.

My mother sold Avon for 20 yrs. When she passed in 1986, she had over 200 pieces of Avon jewelry.

Being an avid crafter myself, I have heaps of boxes filled with similar crafting materials as this lady. I see them as treasure. Mosaics and rocks are two of my main crafts. I would find it very hard to be separated from my crafting boxes. I love that you will give her back her special treasure. It will mean so very much to her. Good on you! 🤗

Hey guys I just started watching y’all, I retired from medical where I took care of dementia patients. The last lady I took care of I actually moved in with the last 7 years of her life bc her family couldn’t & they paid me well. They asked me in that time to go through her home and clean out closets, drawers etc.. she collected plastic bags, cardboard, boxes, cards, letters, empty containers, empty bottles, bottle caps, plastic lids, etc. etc. etc. it was part of her disease. So that may be part of what you’re finding in her storage unit.they are sort of hoarders in a way! her family could not believe what I found & she was not a crafter. She’s gone now, 98 years old, such a delightful lady! She also had beautiful things as well. I am a crafter and I do have a Mary Englebred print in my craft room lol Love your videos keep it up!!

This woman wasn't a hoarder of things. She was an artist. Hoarders don't label boxes "mosaics" and she had too much jewelry beads and chains and clasps to just collect stuff. She actually made things in my opinion.

Boy howdy! She was an overall crafter! Have a friend like that . I would save all my Christmas cards for her to repurpose for other hand made cards. The tins would be use to make bases for flower arrangements to animals or dolls. You would never throw away anything that could be used to make creations out of!

Alot of the treasures you found you should put in an auction you have a great deal of money there anything occupied Germany is worth quite a bit. You are so very nice giving the lady the few things she wanted you will be blessed.

I'm still watching your video from three years ago! I think it's wonderful that you give some items back. I have been doing genealogy research since 2002, and there are many families who would pay a reasonable price for family Bibles with family information in them. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊

So very glad to see you guys back at it. Incredible unit. Make sure to take some time to rest. Love you guys.❤

The person that owned this unit probably immigrated to America from Germany….they have crystal factories over there. When I went to the crystal factory I bought the glass slipper for €25 including engraving… Disney store, sells the same exact shoe for 150 , I also had Crystal drinking glasses, etched one with a fairy, an owl, and a few other ones for family members they all were edged with their names and the date I bought them really really cool place to go

Good Idea to return the cross. Will be meaningful to the family.

Just an FYI for your future finds like this crafting stuff! Paper crafting is at an all time high. Junk Journaling is super hot! So old bills, receipt’s, old photos, old books! Hot hot hot! Just google Junk Journaling! You also shouldn’t have trouble selling off the old broken dishes! People are making Jewellery too from porcelain, pottery, and ceramics! Sell it all!!

My kiddos had all of those fisher price toys. Wish they still made them. Around 1973

Yes. You and Ashley are very nice people

The figurines, the bride and groom, are Precious Moments. Some of them are very collectible. You keep saying “who picks the best storage units”. This one fell in your lap and you should be very grateful for everything in the unit.

I see so many items that bring back child hood memories as a child of the 70's love seeing all the old things. Dolls with cloth bodies are worth some money, I just learned that as well , thanks for sharing yalls adventures

I think.they ordered from wholesale companies or owned a store The shells.beads and jewelry making was great. This was a great video

Hull is a very well known vintage brand that made a lot of decorative dish ware that's very collectible. There's also a popular brand called Hall that made similar items to Hull and then there's also the Haeger brand that you'll come across a lot when looking at mid-century vintage dish ware and decorative items. That one amber dish was likely Fenton, but you have to check. 👍😊

Hull porcelain is very sought after collectable great find and live your shows

God bless you for your kindness and generous spirit 😊

Wonderful find for us crafters

That silver tree is really worth some money! They are hard to find especially in good shape.

The black necklace, right after the dolls, was a Kakui nut lei representing the Island of Maui ! Very special,since it was in a box from the seventies you can be pretty sure. It is authentic!😊

Oh my God, I knew the creator of the bunking's. She was a lovely person/ soul, as she got older and she loved a tipple for medicinal purposes (of course) so she could be cantankerous at times, but all the kid's loved her dearly and as they become older they would still go and be with her and their children. She lived in Wales UK. I stayed with her for around a year and a half. She even made my eldest son who was around 2yrs a personal little book story just for him,I still have it,she was a very good drawer. Dear Tessa,may you R.I.P. 🤗😘💖🦋💖🇬🇧

I just watched a video where a crafter used the corrugated cardboard in her crafts to make cool texture on her cardboard made boxes. (She took them apart and then reattached the sides and bottoms with tape.) She cut the corrugated cardboard in small squares and turned every other one to make a basket weave look. Then she painted them. They were awesome! This lady was a true craftswoman. I keep my broken plates and glassware too. Hopefully, I'll do some mosaics this summer.

Thank you for being kind enough to return her sentimental items. How do you even know how to purchase a storage unit?

I am glad you have a heart and consider the family that lost the unit. I have seen you return a Veterans Death Flag and Uniform. The treadle sewing machine and cradle, things like that. It gives me hope for the future when I see that people like you still. live. Now-A-Days, people think only about themselves, and of course, "the almighty buck". Thanks So Very Much. Keep up the Great work and God Bless you and your team.

Those little white and blue bottles you thought were perfume are actually snuff bottles and can bring a good price. And the pastel Hull pottery vases can be quite collectible. The crystal is cut crystal and can be sharp, pressed glass is not sharp. Cut crystal is worth more because all the detailing is cut by hand. And the biggest score is that aluminum Christmas tree in the box. You could buy a color wheel and place under the tree for different colors. Great score.
