    Folded pieces of paper in pants, wallets, purses etc is common in developmentally disabled and people with mental health conditions. My special needs son always has pieces of papers in his wallet and pants pockets. For him he feels important with them and also it comforts him to have his “important personal papers” with him. Love seeing you and taco working together.

    • @PaperandMoose
      @PaperandMoose  Месяц назад +3

      I thought perhaps it was also a type of hoarding. I wonder if the person just switched pants when the pockets got to a certain fullness, as they hadn’t appeared to go through a washing machine because the papers were still intact.

    I only recently came upon your channel and have been binging many of your videos from the years you've been online. I find them interesting and they help me calm down while I'm mourning the loss of my dear father. I find it comforting exploring the past through paper and vintage items.
    I'm rather new to reselling, although my Mom and I had many a garage sale growing up. She also found many cool items that people tossed out and she'd repurpose the things that she found. I think that's partly why your videos resonate with me.
    I went to an estate sale yesterday that had tons of what I'd call bric-a-brac. Stashed away in the bar area, I came across an old photo album, an album of postcards and an album filled with 1950's greeting cards. They only charged me $5 for each album. The photo album is a real treasure filled with farming photos, men in military uniforms, family photos and old football photos dating back to 1919. Normally I would never have looked at items like this, but I think viewing so many of your videos now, I have definitely been influenced.
    Just wanted to thank you for your content; it's been very beneficial to me.

    "Here's a quarter - call someone who cares!" Ha. Before that, you used to be able to "drop a dime on somebody." Now what do we say? Where does Superman change? So, doesn't seem like it was the best unit - unless you've saved some surprises for the next video. But you have to have these kinds of buys for the stories. You are a terrific story teller - this is grist for the mill. Helps in finding humor that you're becoming better established all the time and you're not dependent on profit from every single buy. Thanks for sharing this story - don't let Taco be too critical. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thanks for sharing this story and hope you have fabulous Saturday. Also hope you will be sharing some great time with your Mom tomorrow - or will have a mondo cool time at whatever you've got planned (I'm not sure I'm remembering all the '80s slang just right). PS I read the Northern Lights were visible up your way in a rare display last night - did you see them? I've seen them once - surreal!

      I woke up around 3am and took a look outside... clouds. I saw a very, very faint coloring of a purple-ish green, but perhaps that was from still being in a half-asleep state. We had cloud coverage for the eclipse, cloud coverage to the Northern Lights, and now rain again tomorrow on flea market day. The weather needs to get with the program! Haha. I think we might be able to see a portion of the Lights again tonight, so perhaps it will be better weather. The next video on this unit should be out on Tuesday... can't have you all getting too excited to see what could be hiding in all of those jean pockets! I will never again feel compelled to bid on a unit because I can see a vintage Pyrex bowl - lesson learned! Though I did come away with that Phillipsburg Mall bag, a true treasure since the bulldozers are busy knocking the mall down. Hope the rest of your Saturday is a good one!

Just imagine how much you would have paid on ebay for these two local items. Perhaps forty bucks ?! So, not that bad for part one of this storage war video ! Just let Timothy invite you for a nice dinner and some drinks, and more luck next time. 🤞And have a wonderful weekend, by the way ! 🌄 Greets from GER, U.

      Apparently this person loved paper too, just in the form of receipts & little folded notes. Guess we all have to save something! Add it to the list of interesting storage units that always leave us with the question of “Why did they store this?” Hope that your Saturday has gone well! The sun is finally out here, but rain again tomorrow. Let’s hope for better weather next weekend!

    There is always the possibility that you and Taco Stacks will say no to the next $100 storage unit, and you will hear that it was loaded with Pyrex, vintage clothing, old photos, P-Burg stuff and boxes of ephemera. It swings both ways. This one wasn't the best, but you donated a lot, found a few bits and cleaned out a good size storage unit for the company. And you both have the story that goes with it.

You never know what might happen. And maybe you’ll not make lots of money but you’ll make your money back and a little profit. You could have not bought it and the person that did could have made out. But you have to gamble on it to find out right.

    Please wear a mask in units littered with rodent droppings. They could be carrying the Hantavirus, which is not good! Better to be safe than sorry!

    I've seen much much worse! Unlike roadside picks the appliances in here probably work, so what? Microwave, heater, dryer, air conditioner?

    wash that sweat shirt hot to get out actual dirt, then bleach it letting it soak for 1/2 hour. wont hurt the print at all. you cant do anything w/ it the way it is so cant hurt to try.

      ps, dont dry it after washing. wet is good when bleaching something.
