It’s okay, it’s just what they were thinking. Yes it’s sad but also it’s nice to know that your special treasures went on to be enjoyed and treasured by someone new.
The one guitar case said negative things about transphobes. My hope is that this person is trans and all this stuff was from her boymode previous life and she is living her best life as her real self now.
Storage unit was emptier and arranged neater than most of the ones you bought. All the boxes stacked up neatly and ready to move out. Some nice things there too.
I would bet it this unit was packed by parents that were tired of storing their adult child's collection of stuff. It is so neatly arranged and filled with what appears to be a young person's teenage collections.
I'm thinking a Trans person as the guitar case says Transphobes. Transphobes were a punk band from London, Ontario. No other info on them that I could find but they did release some digital music in 2023.
i hope so too. these items seemed cared about and well chosen. after seeing that ring left behind, however, i had a gut feeling.... i am worried they are a queer person/transfemme who is no longer with us (i hope they're ok🙏🏾)
Yeah, but some shelters are drowning in that kind of donations, and would prefer money or pet food instead. My sister and brother in law sold their summer house, and had a lot of blankets, pillows and guest duvets' to get rid of, and drove to the local animal shelter, but they politely turned them down, telling they've literally drowning in the stuff and their storage facilities was packed to the ceiling with blankets and pillows. Another option is to donate it to a homeless shelter, which they did, but please wash it first. ;-)
Cool trading cards. I'm actually named after Jenny Lee (Genilee) Snow, one of the Pinhead Twins. I have some antique things from their collection. They were my Great-Grandmother's sisters. Love your videos.
I ordered the same chair as you have. I have so much back pain and I work in a very crappy chair all day long. So hoping this makes my life easier. I work from home and on a computer all day long. Nice finds in this unit.
Hi Alex I’m long time listener/watcher - been following you and your family for 4-5 years now. I live in Colorado Springs and see you visit places I’ve shopped for 45 years Nice to have family in such a beautiful city! I know you don’t want to get political - but could you share how becoming the 51st US state would affect you and your business personally. Would love to have you as a Canadian/American neighbor- you have felt like family for a long time. Maybe the next time you are in Colorado Springs we can have lunch Dottie Sutton 🥰
This is an insane storage locker. Just that Nirvana Zippo lighter in the junk box sold for $80 US on ebay recently. Alex will make his $1500 CAN back many times over.
That Japanese Telecaster is probably a decent guitar, as someone else pointed out the neck is from a Yamaha but the bridge (and most likely whole body) is distinctively a Tokai bridge, they were a little elongated so the pickup sits further forward than on a Fender or the other Japanese brands, and the saddles look identical to my one. It's hard to tell without handling it myself but it looks late 70's/early 80's and that's the golden era for Japanese instruments. If it was original then it would be worth several hundred more than it is now sadly.
What a great score! The Storage Wars show shows a locker full of guitar cases in the opening credits but it was a set up. There never was a unit like that on the show. So you did better!😁.
Ugh! I can't STAND those scripted and mostly staged "reality" TV shows. Alex's channel is a breath of fresh air because you know it's the real deal. He puts in the hard work to find good scores and has the real knowledge to recognize what is worth money and what isn't. As an eBay reseller, I admit I do sometimes cringe when I see items he doesn't seem to realize are worth reselling, but I also fully recognize he has to sort through TONS of items and process them quickly because he can't possibly store them all. As he says, "A quick nickel is better than a slow dime."
This is Mary,not David b.! Just saying Wow! You made out! You seem too have the luck! Most of the time! Pretty cool finding gold and all those guitars,and comic books and vedio! nd game stuff! W t g! Take care ! Mary in florida!🌴🤔😁😎😉♥️🌴
The Lego guitar has alternate building instructions for red and black bodies, so the few bags you saw there was probably just the extra set, and the full guitar is elsewhere.
A storage unit full of guitars, boxes of books, Lego and clothes covered in cat hair? Apparently I have a doppelganger. I hope you are doing OK, Canadian Me
I'm so happy for you finally scoring a unit that has a lot of cool stuff in it. And for cheap too! I'm only a couple minutes into the video can't wait to see what you discover
another good find alex!!! keep up the good work!!! and how come 50k of people has seen this video and only 5.8 k put the thumbs up :(((( common people show some appriciation for alex!!!
I was waiting for you to go through the clothes Did you keep any clothing Maybe if you did you could do a short on what was kept 💚💖💜🇨🇦🦩 Stay Happy 💫✨🌟✨
I wonder if any of the owners of the storage units you win have ever seen their stuff being looked through . Hopefully they wouldn’t be too upset since they have abandoned them anyway. Regardless you did pretty well again and good luck at the auction. Love seeing what you find.
Have you ever thought of getting an insta 360 camera? You can wear around neck or on a hat or jacket lapel? It’s seems so hard doing all of this 1 handed.
When I worked at a storage facility I would on rare occasion see someone loading higher end guitars into non-climate controlled units. It's like putting them in a thin metal shed in your backyard exposed to moisture, extreme heat and cold and theft. I always wondered if they had no choice - maybe lost their housing- or just had no room at home and didn't realize the damage that could be done to them. The instruments in this unit are pretty low end. The pedals are easy to sell.
The neck of that yellow telecaster is from a Yamaha ERG121. Judging from the colour of the truss rod pocket, I'm guessing it came from the body that's attached to the GWL neck since the colour in the pickup cavities seems to match.
❤Hi Alexander! That Winnie the Poor drawing reminded me of your homeless friend that sold you that Disney drawing! I forget his name but do you still hear from him? That was such a cool video back in the day!!❤
I got so lucky at a yard sale year before last a huge black tote with thousands of Lego and many Lego sets for 15.00 when she gave me the price I could not pay her fast enough.
You got pulled over with that knife in your pocket! :) I was thinking it would be ironic if you were pulled over. ''don't get arrested''. The rule is, never put weapons on your person. ever.
My son got the guitar Lego set. It is amazingly detailed. The amp is amazing! Also that dark knight comic book I would like to know what you got for it I have 2 of them
Good score! That Tele style guitar is a Yamaha brand. $120. All day that MRX distortion pedal is $50. The BOOS one is $50. All day. Hat Lefty Epiphone Les Paul would van ish for $175..
25:28 I recall Yvan Cournoyer more as a forward for the Montreal Canadians than a circus-freak act, but you might be a Maple Leafs fan, in which case the confusion is understandable.
Something is a bit off with the Epiphone. Looks like a lefty strung righty but the bridge is still set up for a lefty. If the pick guard is easy to get off turn it back into a lefty, might be harder to sell than a good righty but an upside down single cut, where you can't access above the 16th fret, don't think there's a big market for such a thing.
@@save2rave61 Here in MS the cops set up checkpoints to check for insurance and driver's licenses but they never do a breathalyzer unless you happen to have been drinking. They also can't search your vehicle without probable cause at a checkpoint.
Nice unit. Question: Since you get a lot of game systems , do you look at all the spare cords to see if there are any that might be for game units? Not that I'm personally interested in games, but wonder if theres value in them as well as the games
I always think, how sad, this once was someones belongings/treasures. 😢
I always feel that way too. What happened to the owner of the storage locker; his or her life is being sold.
I like to imagine that they decided stuff aren’t worth worrying about, that they are on an epic trip somewhere 😁
It’s okay, it’s just what they were thinking. Yes it’s sad but also it’s nice to know that your special treasures went on to be enjoyed and treasured by someone new.
It's just stuff. You can't die and take it with you!
Gosh, I look at these things and think how much fun they had. Perhaps they’re not with us anymore, but they lived a good life.
Heartbreaking to see such a well cared for collection of comics, guitars, amps … and even the poor guy’s diploma … I hope wherever he is, he’s OK.
The one guitar case said negative things about transphobes. My hope is that this person is trans and all this stuff was from her boymode previous life and she is living her best life as her real self now.

Love that you are back in the swing of buying and selling. 😃
Never too proud to pick up a dime. Love that! My kids mocked me when I pick up loose change until they saw how much I've saved in my cookie jar!!
Used blankets can always be donated to animal shelters.
Yeah, but some shelters are drowning in that kind of donations, and would prefer money or pet food instead. My sister and brother in law sold their summer house, and had a lot of blankets, pillows and guest duvets' to get rid of, and drove to the local animal shelter, but they politely turned them down, telling they've literally drowning in the stuff and their storage facilities was packed to the ceiling with blankets and pillows.

That nirvana zippo is pretty rare looks like selling for around 200-300
I ordered the same chair as you have. I have so much back pain and I work in a very crappy chair all day long. So hoping this makes my life easier. I work from home and on a computer all day long. Nice finds in this unit.
I hope that it helps your back. Its a pretty comfy chair :)
Hello Alex some thing els that will help your back ache is if any of your cars have heated seats they work wonders for my back ache.
Yes! Everyone thinks I'm crazy because I use them even in summer, I tell them it's my travel heating pad, priceless for long road trips too!
I like the chill seats in a 100 degree heat. Fahrenheit
This looks like the perfect locker for you.
Congratulations on a good unit! YAY!!!
Thanks for the video. Hope you do well at the auction.
Thanks for keeping the commercial short Alex!
Thanks Alex!
Hi Alex

Thanks for watching, maybe I would address that in a live feed
So glad to touch base with you
I feel I know you
Look forward to hearing your thoughts

Whenever you find diecast, you should always say, “shout out to diecast Dave”…hahaha…
Zippos are collectable if it has Made in Niagara Falls on the bottom, they stoped making Zippos there.that gold eagle charm is nice

That looks like it will be a very profitable unit. Too bad those guitars were not more top line . Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
A good haul Alex. I'm not too proud to pick up a penny. One hundred gives me a dollar 😊.
So fascinating makes you wish you knew the owner is…. Love the snow. !
Pulled over ugh! Big hugs and love!❤😊❤
Guitars….. then comics, and video games… was cheering you on to find toys…. Cars in particular. Jackpot!
10:57 That is Jek-14's Stealth Fighter. It was actually a customized E-wing fighter and it's from The Yoda Chronicles.
I was hoping you would find your stolen guitars from your store. Good finds and I look forward to the auction. Be well.
That would have been amazing!
That "Squee" book is a bit of a gem. If I recall, it's from the creator of "Invader Zim", one of his earlier works.
What a great score! The Storage Wars show shows a locker full of guitar cases in the opening credits but it was a set up. There never was a unit like that on the show. So you did better!😁.

So, I am scrolling through the mundane videos Sat morn,, and KaBAMMMM,. you find a locker full of guitars? Can't wait to find out more!
Happy New Year from Norway - Bergen

I was all excited for the TWD comics, then I remembered I just like the show.
Such a fun, eclectic unit.
I am sorry it sounds like a bit of a frustrating day.. I have been there too. Your attitude is great❤
The stone in that gold ring looks like could be a ruby.
Happy New Year from Newark, NY 🎉

Nice Locker! A lot of great miscellaneous items worth a few bucks... Cheers!
Excellent finds alex🎉🎉🎉
A clean unit with some awesome stuff
Hi Alex, that ring with the red stone marked 10K is Brass. They stamp them but I believe it's simply gold plated.
Glad you will get your money back. Happy New Years!
Looks as though you will make a profit on this one. I’m happy for you.
I'm so happy for you finally scoring a unit that has a lot of cool stuff in it. And for cheap too! I'm only a couple minutes into the video can't wait to see what you discover

Hey Alex thoses blades are called Kukri! Might be worth something.
No, they're just not. They are fantasy blades loosely based on the Himalayan khukuri design.
Thanks for the smiles. I just love watching how much fun you have treasure hunting!
tube guitar amps usually have holes in the back for ventilation for the tubes get hot
Dude that gold is awesome. That's a total score of that unit several hundred dollars in gold scrap alone nice!
I was waiting for you to go through the clothes Did you keep any clothing Maybe if you did you could do a short on what was kept 💚💖💜🇨🇦🦩 Stay Happy 💫✨🌟✨
I wonder if any of the owners of the storage units you win have ever seen their stuff being looked through . Hopefully they wouldn’t be too upset since they have abandoned them anyway. Regardless you did pretty well again and good luck at the auction. Love seeing what you find.
I'm always hopeful for illicit discoveries while watching these.
That Pentax KX you dropped in the donate box can be around 100 usd on ebay.
I used to do storage lockers. I wondered if you go through their unmentionables. I did because that's where people keep valuables.
That candle holder is a Mexican Sugar Cone mold, it is often used for candles in the states.
Have you ever thought of getting an insta 360 camera? You can wear around neck or on a hat or jacket lapel? It’s seems so hard doing all of this 1 handed.
Those are kukri “knives.” More Mongolian than Klingon, although both had a Khan. 😊
Lol
No, they're just not. They are fantasy blades loosely based on the Himalayan khukuri design.
I have mixed feelings about storage auctions. But I think you did well
Jason! 😊

Happy new year alex, Mike from Montreal.
Im a huge comic book nerd. The unit is awesome
What’s the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? One is really heavy and the other one is a little lighter!
The neck of that yellow telecaster is from a Yamaha ERG121. Judging from the colour of the truss rod pocket, I'm guessing it came from the body that's attached to the GWL neck since the colour in the pickup cavities seems to match.
Nice work. Great stream 👍🐾
❤Hi Alexander! That Winnie the Poor drawing reminded me of your homeless friend that sold you that Disney drawing! I forget his name but do you still hear from him? That was such a cool video back in the day!!❤
He talked about him just the other day!

Are you sure you didn't put that stuff in the storage locker years ago and forget about it? LOL it's almost all right up your alley!
Lego ship looked like a stylised Star Trek Klingon Bird of Prey.
I agree it's klingon. Lol
Always enjoy your videos. We wonder, what happened to these people? How did their life get off the rails.
Always fun, Alex.
You got pulled over with that knife in your pocket! :) I was thinking it would be ironic if you were pulled over. ''don't get arrested''.
The rule is, never put weapons on your person. ever.
@@firesurfer where is that a rule? Canada?
DVDs and old Horror Cassettes are super hot right now. The rest....yes junk.
Can't believe your luck. 😊
My son got the guitar Lego set. It is amazingly detailed. The amp is amazing! Also that dark knight comic book I would like to know what you got for it I have 2 of them
I would love to see you set that equipment up in your outside room apartment and give us a sound check that would be fun
I always look to see if my daughter’s graphic novels are in the stack. “ Trying Human”. Emy Bitner. 💙
Good score! That Tele style guitar is a Yamaha brand. $120. All day that MRX distortion pedal is $50. The BOOS one is $50. All day. Hat Lefty Epiphone Les Paul would van ish for $175..

This joke went over my head at first, but as a Habs fan, I approve it LOL
FINALLY! 🎸
The "chunky"wooden candle holder looked like a mold from Mexico for shaping brown sugar
pedals are a killer score
That vintage Japanese no name is likely the best of that batch

Breathalyzers seem to be mandatory for all pull overs it seems, in Alberta. My son has been pulled over twice and has had to do them both times.
That’s wild to have a random stop and breathalyzer. That’s illegal without probable cause here in America.
@@save2rave61 Here in MS the cops set up checkpoints to check for insurance and driver's licenses but they never do a breathalyzer unless you happen to have been drinking. They also can't search your vehicle without probable cause at a checkpoint.
Awesome v log makes you wonder why the person left it all behind
Great locker,Alex!
😅the ship that you saw is a venator from the clone wars star wars. If I guess it first can I have it. 😮 a box labeled cards but contains clothes?
❤❤❤❤ The Owl and Eagle.
My favorite line: 'This unit cost me $1500 Canadian...or about $9 U.S. 😆
Nice unit. Question: Since you get a lot of game systems , do you look at all the spare cords to see if there are any that might be for game units? Not that I'm personally interested in games, but wonder if theres value in them as well as the games
Very sad for the person who lost this locker. Seems like their personal stuff told a story. I feel like they are not on this earth anymore.
Had to look up the saying on the guitar case. It’s from the band Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but they’re based out of Montreal.
I’m sure you have mentioned this before but which auction house do you use?
When is the auction?
