    I’ve never understood why people in your comments section “talk down” to you. For a guy who owns his own house has 2 vehicles, a dog and a successful YT channel you think some of them would get that you are doing ok...and not...as some commenters say...”wasting money by ruining/breaking stuff”. It’s all about perspective and respect for others. You do good Taco... if you are reading some of the comments please take it with a grain of salt. Lots of people think they can do it better...I have yet to see their videos!

    The guitar isn't broken. 1 string is a couple bucks. It looks to be in generally good condition and worth $30-50 depending on the model (number should be on the label inside)

    In the military bag looked like an IBA (individual Body Armor) It was hard to see exactly what was with it from the angle but it looked like a full kit. If the Sapi plates are in it take them out and sell them separate. Its a nice find either way.

    The Maestro guitar is an entry level (beginners) guitar produced by Gibson Guitars. It regularly sells on Craigslist for 40-50 bucks. It sells on eBay for about the same plus shipping. Definitely sell it for more than 5 bucks at the flea market. If you string it and tune it so a person can pick it up and play it, you can ask 40 at the market and let it go for 20-ish dollars and still feel good about it. 👍

    The guitar is a beginner's instrument. It cost $120 new at Guitar Center. The only thing I could see wrong with it, is a broken string. It's not very well rated online.
    That is a flak jacket, and the inner plates are the property of the Army if they have serial numbers on them. Check with a recruiter or reserve unit to find out if you can legally keep or sell them.

    The paperwork and military items try to put aside, and it might be that person did not come back from combat. Perhaps the family would like some of that back. Looks like that could be why the locker was not paid, unfortunately.

    Taco, that is a ballistic vest. My son, a veteran, says there is a gel, that can stop a 9mm. And it should have plates and could be worth $300 and if it has the plates $500. My son said it's illegal to sell it. It's military property and if you have a base nearby to take it there and tell them how you got it.

    • @KameraShy
      @KameraShy 4 года назад +1

      Not necessarily. Taco will need to research if there are legal issues on this one. The payoff could be worth the time. Military surplus is sold off all the time. And the guy was (apparently) allowed to keep the vest. I wonder if there is a serial number somewhere on that vest. Quick check found that generally it is not illegal for civilians to own bullet proof vests, except for convicted felons.

    • @poodlegirl55
      @poodlegirl55 4 года назад

      They are sold in military supply stores so it is not illegal, they also list them on Ebay. Soldiers also buy stuff out of their own money. It is only illegal in some states for convicted felons to possess them.

    The vest is an IOTV, older style 10 years old or so. Not issued anymore by the Army. Didn't appear to have the ceramic plates in it (valuable and can be put into newer/other vests). If you open up the velcro on the inside if you see a gray liner, that is the woven kevlar fabric (called soft armor that stops up to 9mm). You can part it out on ebay for people that are missing parts. Yoke, neck collar, daps, etc... Perfectly legal to own the IOTV and resell.

    Check the stuff you said is paperwork. 1 it might give you more info on the military bag. 2 My aunt and uncle use to hide $ in books and paperwork! We found that out when they passed and we cleaned their house! Just some info for you!!😁😁

    I’m always surprised what people put in a storage unit. They’re not cheap! They store things that could be rebought for much cheaper than the cost of a locker/unit.
