Collectibles Discovered in an Abandoned Michigan Storage Unit

Abandoned homes, shops, and buildings seem like they are a dime a dozen, as there seems to be an endless supply of them throughout Michigan. But here’s a twist: a look inside an abandoned storage unit. What will the buyer find inside?

Why do units get abandoned? In some cases, the owner dies with no one to take over the stuff; or the owner may just move away and say 'the heck with it all'.

For those of you who have ever seen an episode of TV’s Storage Wars, you know how the outcome could be. You may find discarded treasures and collectibles, or you may just find nothing but junk that is mostly worthless. Some of the things found in this particular Michigan storage unit are pretty cool and collectible.
