Storage Hunter locker owner 'nearly has heart attack' after 'holy grail' item worth £31,000 was discovered

Storage Hunter locker owner 'nearly has heart attack' after 'holy grail' item worth £31,000 was discovered

Storage Auction Pirate found the steal of a lifetime

A storage hunter has discovered the unit of dreams - with a 'holy grail' item worth a whopping £31,000.

Earlier this month, the content creator - who goes by the name Storage Auction Pirate (@storagepirate) - said he discovered a special storage unit of high value items.

The man who refers to himself as the 'spiritual garbageman' explains: "We live our life one storage unit at a time.

"How to make money at storage auctions is our middle name.

"Family owned and operated storage auction business."

In a recent clip from 6 March, he buys three storage units off a keen owner.

After opening one of the units, he revealed the owner 'nearly had a heart attack' in the office, possibly due to 'priceless China'.

However, he soon discovered that the China was the 'least most valuable' thing.

But his mood immediately changed after spotting a 'woodard piece of bench, worth around $300-400'.

He then finds a statue of a naked woman near the door.

"Look at this bad boy," he said.

"This is what I was talking about.

"This thing right here, is probably - it's every bit of 500, but these things go as high as $20,000, $30,0000, $40,000 (£31,000) by this artist."

Mission accomplished.

Along with the artefacts mentioned, he also found some old crockery.




Taking to the comments, one person wrote: "Ahahah 3-400$ for the bench? Where? 1980?"

"So what’s with the fork," another added.

"That 'bronze" statue is plastic. I know, bcose have same series one. Maybe 50$..." a third thought.

Similarly, a man who bought a storage unit for only £600 was shocked to find out that he was living on a goldmine.

Dave Hester from the programme Storage Wars well and truly hit the jackpot after finding the unit he had purchased was stocked with old newspapers.

In a video posted to the Storage Wars on A&E Facebook page, Hester said: "Obviously someone bought a bunch of newspapers."

He quickly realised that the papers were from around Elvis' death, and that they were also a special edition.

Based on the condition and the originality of The Commercial Appeal, which was released the day after Elvis passed away, he said he could sell them at $10 (£8) per newspaper.

The storage hunter actually started selling them at a slightly higher price of £12 a pop on eBay, and he was able to make a whopping £75,000.
