ABANDONED and unopened storage units are often seen in the US, but did you know you can buy them in the UK too?\u00a0<\/p>\n

After realising they can be purchased in online auctions, one man set out to get one for himself and managed to quadruple his money as a result.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Taking to his YouTube channel, Kieran shared the entire process with viewers, including where he found the unit, what was inside and exactly how much he made back from it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kieran Barnett works as a full-time eBay reseller, buying from charity shops, carboots, wholesalers and Facebook Marketplace to make a living.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He started the clip off by explaining that he\u2019d always wanted to buy a storage unit and finally found one on auction on eBay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flipping the camera to show the live auction, he said: \u201cThe unit in question. \u00a3172 with six minutes to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I spent \u00a3500 on a storage unit from 1990 – a necklace I found is worth thousands<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to slap a \u00a3511.64 bid on it because we\u2019ve found some stuff in there, which would easily cover the cost of this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully the other bidders haven\u2019t noticed!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He posted the bid with just 5 seconds to go and he won the bid, paying \u00a3465 in total for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The following day, Kieran travelled to Stockport, Greater Manchester, to go through the contents of the storage unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlocking it, he was faced with a load of bags filled with loot, including a questionable book titled \u2018Busty Slag and Nob End\u2019 by Russell Ash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then showed off a framed boxing glove, which had been signed by American professional boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, who won world titles in five weight classes during his 20-year career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kieran then showed off how much a similar signed glove previously sold for, which was \u00a3405 in total.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what we want,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paying attention to the Howard Miller grandfather clock, he went on: \u201cThis clock here should be about \u00a31,500. Wow, we\u2019ve made a little bit of a dent\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis clock is about seven foot tall – I didn\u2019t realise how tall it was going to be. Proper cast iron as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then showed off the two camp beds, which he said he would get around \u00a340 each.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There were a few other camping bits in the storage unit, including a sleeping bag and tent, which is worth around \u00a3600.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWell into profit,\u201d he said, before looking into a washing machine, which he said he would try to sell on Facebook Marketplace for around \u00a3100.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There were also three boxes of DVDs and a few CDs as well alongside some lamps and kitchen appliances – all of which ranged between \u00a310 to \u00a330.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also found a box of jewellery, but admitted he had \u201cno idea\u201d what any of it would be worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In another bag, he found two iPods, which he called \u201ca bit of history\u201d. He then found some sun loungers, more tents and books worth \u00a3100.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kieran then shared: \u201cWe just found Gucci Guilty,\u201d and if it had been slightly fuller, he would\u2019ve sold it too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And in one box he found a football signed by all the players of Stoke City football club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a full team signed football from Stoke City,\u201d he said. \u201cQuite easy to find signatures because they\u2019ve got numbers and names.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it should be quite easy to identify their date because they\u2019ve been kind enough to leave their shirt number and signature.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also found 17 bags of clothing, which he said would be worth \u00a3200.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kieran ended the clip by adding: \u201cI do think we\u2019ve got around \u00a33,000 worth of gear in that storage unit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

People were quick to comment on the post as one person wrote: \u201care you auditioning for storage wars? \ud83d\ude42 great find that\u201d.<\/p>\n
