![We bought and RENOVATED this Creepy, Hoarder Cottage!! [Renovation COMPLETE BEFORE & AFTER]](/img/n.gif)
The thing I enjoy about vids like this is the banter with the family members - and this guy is really entertaining with his little quips lol Another great thing is that it's clear that Alex wants to WORK with the family and guide them on what to look for when they're ready to clear out the stuff in the house and NOT rip them off. They both benefit and it's refreshing to see an appraiser not looking to rip off someone who knows less than he does on certain things.
Would be nice if the other person was mic'ed
He sounds like such a lovely fella. I enjoyed the friendly banter
I literally just said the exact same things to my husband. We are kindred, you and I
It was fun that the fellow was so cheerful and chatty with you. Cool stuff
What a time capsule house!!! Found myself often shouting,"Hey I had that!"!!!!❤❤❤
that fella sounded like a truly lovely person....how cool is this?
When you got to the vintage clothes, I was fascinated. I am in my early 70’s and remember wearing those classic clothes when I taught school. The furs were out of range, price wise, that is. This was one of your best videos in a while.
Hi Alex. My neighbor died and left huge amounts of trains (in boxes), coins, WWII medals…
Have been inventorying lots. If you are possibly interested in this…his widow asked me to help her … please let me know.
Hello :) Alexander’s email is curiosityedmonton@gmail.com
You should email him
My parents' wallpaper in their bedroom is so similar to that, but black instead of red. The pattern feels like a velvet texture.
It’s called flock wallpaper in Britain. It was very popular in Indian restaurants.
My grandparents are still using a 1950s fridge.
The wedding heart thing may have held the wedding rings during the ceremony.
Some of the old jeans might have value.
Especially if they're Levis. Red tag and large E get a good price.
The wallpaper is from the 60s and was called flocked wallpaper. My parents had very similar in their master bedroom.
I like how you are advising him what to look out for.
I know it's a lot of work but I like the hoarder houses. They are like a time capsule. Maybe the son doesn't mind,less he has to deal with.
Wow, jackpot 60’s and 70’s time capsule….AGAIN,😮 ❤
Dude has so much valuable stuff
That 'Phantom of the Paradise' record! Paul Williams. Wow!
I enjoy all your videos but love when you get to go to a home where the folks have great vintage stuff
The blue glass in the door between the kitchen and the next room! Love it!
There was a brocade shift dress in the green clothes bag. That looked like a bit of a treasure but only saw for a second. The coats! The fur collared coat and the green plaid coat. Fabulous! What a great collection of vintage clothing!
He could get a lot of $$ if he sold those ,60's and 70's clothes to a production studio!
@@lisagrafton2529 Like which production studio, which studio do you know that has a wardrobe department?
@@joshr9417There are places who hire out costumes.
The treasure hunt is great, but the interaction with the family members is the best! The way you are interested in their stories without trauma sourcing for the views is what makes this one of the nicest corners of CZcams. Cheers from one of those people who wears those old clothes 😅
The old food boxes and tins are so cool so much history in a home like this also those band t’s and rock albums are awesome
In the UK we have several programmes on the TV which recycle and refurbish junk, furniture, cars, bikes etc. One is called Find it, Fix it, Flog it and this garage is ripe for that.😊
omg Woolco! this is a stroll thru the memories, the blue suitcases too!!
OMG, seeing that INCHWORM brings back memories. We gave one to our son for Christmas when he was maybe four yrs. Old. He called it his *DOANIE^. He used to lie underneath it and use his toy wrench and pretend to repair something. My husband was a mechanic at the time and our son was imitating what he was used to seeing his father do.
Awesome video! So many things that seemed so familiar. Okay... things I had. 70's was my time. Really fun
. Thanks to the guy showing it and allowing it to be taped.
I'd take every single one of those records, those are some real good albums. ELO, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Supertramp even April Wine man I hope you bought them all
April Wine is great! Canadian too. Can't believe he skipped those LP's.
I luv it, "a going out dress." lol
Hi Alex That Tall Corning Ware Coffee Pot In Cupboard Was Recalled Years Ago By Corning Ware For Safety Use Measures & Should Not Be Recycled To Use, I Know Cause I Had To Give Mine Up...
I can't believe you passed on the marbles! I would have picked them up.
Always interesting!!! The fellow is so friendly too! His voice at first reminded me of Austin from the Potter's House 😊
My BFF in high school was our valedictorian. Her parents bought her a new 1973 Nova for graduation.
Great tour of accumulated and treasured possessions. Glad you had an interested family member to join you. Very glad he had a dust mask for you, Alexander. There was a good exchange of information back and forth, with a minimal use of snarky "dad jokes ". The travel trailer could be a fun little series. Maybe find an appropriate tow vehicle to pair with it.
Nice to have another o n e of these search and rescue vlogs! Thanx Alex! ❤ XXX
Really enjoyed this video. I have missed your "picking" excursions.
That MCM clock and matching sconces ❤ I hope you bought those
The clothes were a great find. Here's hoping the Suzuki runs too. I enjoyed this Alexander. Thank you
vinyl flocked wallpaper!
Playdoh dentist?? Cool! I've never seen that one. The vintage clothing was amazing.
Stay cool in this heat Alex. Great video my friend!!
My daughter would be in heaven going through those vintage clothes. She’s a reseller & does very well. I’m always surprised when young people buy to wear.
Right after I commented I hear Alex say his daughter wears the vintage shirts. Yep!! Young kids love vintage
I love the way you explain what’s valuable considering you’re there to
buy stuff, not many people would share that information so good on you xx
The colors on the vintage clothing are beautiful 😊
Really enjoyed this video, thanks for taking us along😊
My first reaction after seeing the whole video and the clothes that were shown throughout was..."MAKE AN OFFER ON THE CLOTHING!!" It reminded me of an abbreviated version of the haul you made several years ago from "Madame Whatshername" (forgot her name lol)
Love the variety of your videos.....one never know what's in that drawer, or closet....lots of treasures in this one!! ... Best always....from BC
I hope ya didn't leave that blue and red Addidas tote bag behind...they were huge in '78, '79.
Greatly video Alex. Love the vintage clothes. Makes me want to go back and watch your hoarder house series again!
That was fun seeing all of the older items with you. I love to see it when you give them an idea of what is valuable and what is not, instead of being greedy about it. That gentleman seemed very nice and you two got along very well. I know how hard it is to part with things after a parent passes, but he seems to be handling it pretty well. Thank you for the video.
My first car was a Chevy nova ❤
Mine too. A '74 Chevy Nova hatch back 350. I loved it!
I would have bought all the clothes in that house!
I was saying "make an offer on ALL of it". Apparently he didn't hear me 😂
We had an old wringer washer at the cottage. We just loved it , in the spring we’d do all the bedding and it was so much faster than the washers. Blankets were never that dirty so it was more of a refresh . Did all the laundry in record time. Wish we still had it.
Great walk down memory lane! The Vaurnet t-shirt! Vaurnets were THE sunglasses of the 80s! Red and mirrored. 😅
Interesting finds! I had the same “ants in the pants” game when i was a kid.
Very nice, thanks for taking on your hunt for treasures ❤❤
Nice to see you enthusiastic again, it seems a while since you were that animated. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Way cool . One of those outfits, I thought of Florence Henderson right away .
Old rock and vintage rock shirts are desirable . But you overlooked the marbles . Cats eye ones and ones that glow under a black light are the most sought after. I’ve discovered another vintage category for you : Lawn sprinklers 😊😊😊😊😊
I love how Alex is educating this seller. No gatekeeping. No slick Rick moves. It’s just refreshing that Alex is sharing his knowledge.
Great time digging through all the stuff. Love it, especially the clothes, my Grandma always made us girls some polyester double knit clothes. Brought back some great memories. Have a great day
Funny when you found the rotary phone and saying kids don't know how to use them, because Fisher Price still do their toy version and kids like playing with it plus it features in the Toy Story films as well.
I still have my Fisher Price Castle! It was my favorite toy of all time. I need to replace the horses because my cats chewed the feet off them, but the pink dragon is in perfect condition.
Those wringer washers are sought after. That’s worth getting. Those old washers clean your clothes better than the ones they have today.
The starburst clock is awesome
My mother had one in the sixties.
My parents had the exact one when I was growing up. Crazy that it’s popular today.
I'm so happy you're back into digging through old houses like this. Though all your other content is interesting as well, I missed these videos.
That house was awesome! So many cool vintage finds.
Vintage bedding and fabric can have value. Especially the unopened
Dear Mr. Archbold.
Unfortunately I don't need to discover this because I have it myself, actually around me. 😁 ;-) 🙈
Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
Now THAT was cool. Those stickers on the fridge brought back so many memories. The clothes were awesome. I love that you also gave him some very valuable advice. Sometimes you just don't really know what you have or if it is actually worth anything. I kind of wish we had been just a little bit hoarder-esk as some of the toys we grew up with are now worth so much more. I've even seen the same items in museums. Seeing them made me feel so super old (I'm 47, so not 'super' old) and trying to share my recollections with my 26yr old son just didn't interest him so much. Oh well. Thanks for bringing us along on this hunt, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Blessings to you and your family.
Sometimes your videos make me feel soooooo nostalgic… to the point that I could maybe understand being a hoarder. I’m not. But wow… just looking at some of the things you come across just invoke good memories!
Thank you for the video 🙏
Always fun to watch you search for treasures! When I switched to flat screen TVs, although not ancient models, I gave away two tube TVs and that’s exactly why they wanted them…for vintage gaming.
Great video Alexander! I loved it right at the beginning how your jacket matched the little camper like you wore it just for the video.
Vuarnet Shirt at 38:31- those were SOOOOO popular late 80's early 90's! I would have definitely scooped that one up. :)
15:03 If selling the house do not mess with that wallpaper; it's back in if you can believe it, and it looks to be in really good shape. NIP sheets from the 70s? BONUS! 20:15 The clock radio still works; those are worth money, and the Captain Crunch box too. I'd have bought the entire stack of jeans without even looking. I know some "clothing guys" who'd sell every single pair.
When my husband's Dad passed in 2006 we had to deal with a toy hoard PLUS every room in the big 1920s house had been wallpapered in the late 60s in that flocked wallpaper ranging from yellow to red to pink to black etc. The toy hoard is still being auctioned periodically but the flocked wallpaper was steamed off in late 2006 after my husband joined a group anonymously touring the house for sale and heard the awful comments about the hideous wallpaper. It's why the house wouldn't sell. Times have changed I guess!
@@katharineskilesdaline4535 Once again, no body with tastes wants that wallpaper.
Hi Alex. It’s always fun looking in houses with old stuff. Enjoy and hope you find some good things❤️👍
Gosh i have missed this type of video, great to see you back. Your sense of humour and banter with the householder.
Loved all the vintage rock t-shirts! Very cool find!
Thanks, this was just like old times.
Thanks Alex , that was a lot of fun.
I heard that prism CDs albums have some serious value because they're weren't hugely published
Huge score on the concert t-shirts
That bicycle next to the dirt bike looks to be an araya/muddyfox from the 80's, worth quite a bit. Especially the chrome bullmoose bars and thumb shifters
This is much like my parents' house, complete with those old style suitcases (which I kept). My father saved EVERYTHING, even old bills before he got married - Edison Light bill for 45 cents (which I kept, lol) and so on.
A lot of things and apparently a very nice gentleman giving you the tour! ❤
Loved Streetheart! Everybody that ever met him says Kenny Shields was a great guy.
In the UK that wallpaper is like the kind used in Indian restaurants in the 70s lol.
Awesome pick!
This guy seems like someone you will keep in touch with, very much the same as you by my ear.
I thought so too.
Some of those clothes looked like late 1950’s very early 1960’s clothes.
Really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing
I laughed at the Draino story at about the 12:00 mark. When I was a teenager in the 90's, I was babysitting for our friends when I asked how their copper tablespoon (which I was using for baking) got damaged. That's when they confessed they had used it for the Draino test for boy/girl.😂
Great episode!
We still have our original water heater from when we built our house 1979 😊
Oh my gosh! I hope that mother of pearl compact set in the box makes it to auction! So beautiful and would have been very expensive when new. 😍
I’m also sure there are small vintage resellers who would be interested in the remainder of vintage clothing. I sell a whole ton of that!
My kids would pay $50 all day for those vaurnet and billabong shirts and twice that for the concert ts.
Oh man I would love the Sherman box for my necklace❤
Around here no one will allow you to pull items out of piles. Records, clothes, books, dishes...they are all "take them all or none". Only toys are generally let go individually. No one wants to be responsible for the trash anymore!
I'd be grabbing that Arnold Schwarzenegger, Commando straight away, what an action movie, with some classic Arnold movie lines. Gold mine of band tees though Wow 😎
something that I have heard of more and more in the US is an industrial history movement. if you come across some particularly old, but well kept, shipping boxes (like the tootsie rolls from earlier in the walk-through) you could pitch selling them back to the shipping hub that is listed for about $50-100 if the location was still in business - I have no idea what they do with them but if its from a dated lot (i.e. close to a historical event) they might set it up as some sort of exhibit on site or send it back to their home office. kind of like keeping a 76 sign as a piece of corporate lobby art etc...
Great video Great finds!! 😊😊😊
Most of those 60’s women’s dresses would not accommodate today’s waist sizes.
Those clothes are absolutely stunning😮❤
Watching these videos 1-3-2 and seeing stuff from the 3rd here. The unearthing of the bike after I just saw it all washed, and the clock with sconces from the 60's at 14:14 wow! This is giving me chills with memories of toys and games. Thanks.
