| 41 | Most of the time these storage units are abandoned for two reasons the first well | 大部分时候这些储藏装置都是出于两个原因被废弃的 第一井 |
| 42 | Obviously someone can't pay for the storage bill and kind of just leaves the stuff in there or the second | 显然有人付不起仓储费 然后把东西放里面或者第二 |
| 43 | Which is someone passes away and the storage unit really isn't specified in their will you can see it's it's copper because it's starting to | 也就是说有人去世了 而储藏室真的没有在他们的遗嘱中写明 这是铜的,因为它开始 |
| 44 | Turn blue in places copper is like six dollars a pound. | 变蓝色的地方,铜像六块钱一磅。 |
| 45 | So this is actually very expensive to it | 这对它来说其实非常昂贵 |
| 46 | If you like sell it to a scrapyard | 如果你喜欢把它卖给废品场 |
| 47 | So the auction process is kind of the most complicated and scariest part arguably of the whole thing | 拍卖过程是整件事中 最复杂最恐怖的部分 |

| 49 | You're not gonna have a good day in that you know 20 or 30 minutes when you're bidding on the unit | 参加单位竞价时,二,三十分钟你就会知道 |
| 50 | You really have to do your research | 你真的必须做你的研究 |
| 51 | The way you make a lot of money with the units is you kind of see clues that other people don't see | 你和这些单位挣很多钱的方式 就是看到其他人看不到的线索 |
| 52 | That allow you to kind of predict the life of who has the unit. | 这样你就可以预测谁拥有这个单位的生活了 |
| 53 | That's it | 就这样 |
| 54 | Another way is of course to look at not only what's inside of the unit the area around it | 另一种方式当然是,不仅看单位内部的周围区域 |
| 55 | Typically, maybe high cost of living areas are gonna have better units | 通常,高额生活费用 会有更好的单位 |
| 56 | But of course low cost of living areas are not automatically gonna have bad units | 当然低廉的生活费用 不会自动有坏单位 |
| 57 | Good | 不错 |
| 58 | the third way to | 第三条路 |
| 59 | Find a good unit is to do your own research outside of the unit contents outside of the area | 找到一个好的单位就是自己在单位内容以外进行区域外的研究 |
| 60 | Which the unit is in actually to try to find the name of the person one way | 单位正在试图找到一个人的名字 |
| 61 | I developed was to use an AI program which I developed alongside some of my friends from school to scan for unit | 我开发的是使用一个AI程序,我和一些朋友一起开发,从学校到扫描单位 |
| 62 | Auction and lien holder names and then New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut areas to hopefully scan for units | 拍卖和留置权持有者的名字 然后纽约市,新泽西州和康涅狄格州 希望扫描单位 |

| 66 | We're in a garage which is where I store all of my stuff | 我们在车库里,我把东西都放在那里 |
| 67 | Most of the time when you're clearing a unit, you're not gonna find good stuff out on the top of the box | 大部分时间你清理一个单位, 你不会找到好的东西 在盒子的顶部 |
| 68 | You kind of have to go home route through everything for you know | 你总得走回家的路 |
| 69 | A couple of days or a week and only then we really know how good a unit is | 几天或一个星期,我们才真正知道一个单位有多好 |
| 70 | Most of the time when you're maybe getting into this, you don't know the value of stuff | 大部分时候,当你可能 进入这个,你不知道的东西的价值 |
| 71 | But I think kind of seeing my mom negotiate over the years to fill the house with stuff | 但我想看到我妈妈谈判 几年来 填满房子的东西 |

| 82 | Most of the storage units are in the New York City kind of metro area. | 大部分的存储装置都位于纽约市一类的地铁区. |
| 83 | I | 一、导 言 |
