Men blown away after buying storage unit for $30 and discovering what's inside it

One of the men described the unit as 'one of our most amazing finds'

Two men in California were completely blown away after they opened up an old storage unit they'd bought for $30 and discovered what was inside.

Alex Stevens and Andrew Cordova, from Northern California, have gained more than 90,000 followers on TikTok by sharing posts about their storage unit discoveries.

The page explained that the pair 'buy abandoned storage units', and in an interview with Fox 5, Stevens explained they usually spend about $5 on the units, and make between $100-$200 off the items they find inside.

With $5 as their average spend, it seems the pair decided to splash out a bit when they came across an abandoned unit in the city of Tracy.

Stevens explained: "In the pictures, it just looked like a bunch of clothes laying in the back of the unit... This one just happens to be different.”

When the pair went to investigate what they'd got for their $30, they found clothes including parachute pants, fur coats and an old Mac computer.

In any other context, these items might just be a sign of eccentric style.

But it was what was found alongside the clothes that caught Stevens and Cordova's attention.

The pair discovered more 30 master tapes in the unit, which were labeled Death Row Records and could possibly hold unreleased music from MC Hammer, DJ Quick, and Snoop Dogg.

After finding the items, Stevens and Cordova were contacted by people claiming to be from Death Row Records, which MC Hammer was signed to in the 1990s.

The people who got in touch acquired about buying some of the items, but Stevens and Cordova said they've not yet agreed on a deal.

If the items are authentic, the pair believe they could be worth millions.

Not only would it be an incredible find, but it would be a huge profit on the $30 they paid for the unit.

However, Stevens and Cordova are hesitant when the find seems too good to be true.

“Until I actually hear from MC Hammer himself or Snoop Dogg, I don’t believe it,” Stevens said.

Interestingly, MC Hammer himself has actually since weighed in on the find after an X user asked him whether he was going to 'get [his things] back'.

In response, Hammer wrote: "If this be truth a man spent $50 for such a gift are they not his? God bless him.”

However, Stevens indicated that there's more authentication that needs to be done.

“People claim to be managers, but all we have is the documentation, the tapes, and people are contacting me [claiming to be] affiliated with them. So obviously, something’s going on to where it’s related," he said.

No matter what the outcome, Cordova is happy with the purchase of the storage unit.

“It’s amazing," he said. "You just don’t know what you’re gonna find when you get inside the unit, but this is probably one of our most amazing finds."
