- DIGGING THROUGH THE HOARD FOR VINTAGE FINDS | ESTATE SALE PREP
So you've wanted to see what it's like to plow through a hoard and turn it into an estate sale? A lot of people have been asking me to share this part of what I do, so here's a look behind the scenes as I dig in with my crew into this overstuffed house full of hidden treasure (we hope)! What will we find next?
This Florida waterfront house is the repository for three generations of stuff...first from a quarter century of family living here, along with heirlooms from grandpa's estate (is that a car under all those boxes?!). Extras brought from rental houses, leftovers from days spent fishing and attics stuffed with goodies from obsessive shopping trips at cruise ship boutiques and local flea markets make this a giant pile that takes our big crew days to plow through.
It's a true estate sale, and we're the first ones to touch some of this stuff in 25 years! On the surface, interesting and valuable vintage and collectibles share space with a ton of home furnishings, useful household items and endless categories of vintage and new items, all ready to sell at bargain prices.
Come along with me while we transform this hoard into a big organized estate sale paradise for collectors and resellers. Filming these daily updates (originally shown raw on Periscope) allows us the perfect platform for you to see how we tame the hoard and ferret out the fun and valuable from piles of unsorted randomness. With the benefit of hindsight, I add 'cameo' appearances to help explain my thoughts and processes as we find all the goodies and go through the steps of preparing the estate in this video series, debuting in three parts over the next three days.
Here's some of what we find on our first trip through the hoard:
Murano and Bohemian glass, chandeliers, vintage and new clothing, purses and accessories, sailfish taxidermy, 1980s novelty tables, 1970s table lamp, Russian tea sets, Swarovski crystal, Judaica, pelican painting, Paris paintings, perfume, costume jewelry, 1980s mirror clock, 1980s skyline mixed media, Houze Art trays, Eastern European pipe, ceramic Christmas tree, musical equipment, Treasure Craft fish tray, L.A. Potteries vases, Noritake china, Alvar Aalto vases, 1989 Lincoln Town Car, concrete and metal vintage patio furniture, license plates, Structo truck, wood cross from 1920s church, Italian neo-deco bedroom set, etc.

George, wow ! Really, wow! I wonder what room they used to enjoy sitting in. Lots of things.
I'm rewatching a lot of your stuff. I laughed, "People in the 80's like to look at themselves." We were not at all that way in the 70's, few tattoos, no vivid coloured hair, usually brown, long and parted in the middle. Very little makeup, Lee or Levis jeans, and piercings just in the ears! So enjoy you George!
That's true! If anything, the 1970s were about the clothes more than the personal styling
So interesting...look also to couriosity Inc. . Alex is organising a horder house too.
Yes, I think his is more daunting in some ways (he can't put anything outside in Edmonton, brrr!)
I miss the days of boxy, rectangular cars. They are a unique ride. I don't even have a garage, but instead, a carport. If I had the storage & means I would love to own that old Lincoln, and drive it around town for fun.
They were state of the art when I was born! They look so angular compared to modern everything
Wish I was near this estate sale,so many items!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
You have to have the patience of a saint to go through all that stuff! 👍😎
You got that right!
Lovely and articulate as usual. So informative. Always a pleasure to watch and to listen to you.
Amazing... George is my vintage hero😜
Aww thanks! How are things out west?
That town car was amazing!
I'm glad it escaped that garage
Wow massive things are everywhere. It'll be nice to fully see the end results. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!
Cool! You'll see it tomorrow night
I loved the view !
Me too Florida can be truly lovely
People liked to look at themselves a lot in the 80’s!?!? I couldn’t agree with you more! I looked a lot better back then! 😂
Weird thing is since I started doing TH-cam, I suddenly have to look at myself all the time lol
Oh my,it’s so typical of a Florida canal house,,,,,it’s so organized considering....the eclectic collection
We worked hard on that one! Yes, it's absolutely the typical FL canal house other than the volume of stuff
@@TheAntiqueNomad I know it’s not a easy go,,, but I pray you did well,,,,enjoy the palms and breeze.i lived in Florida in the 1980s, never got used to the climate or taste of the Floridian prefabricated appeal
@@TheAntiqueNomad you’re a rock ⭐️
I help with estate sales and I find it so interesting.
Isn't it? I could've used you here!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I am in NC and would love to meet you if you are ever nearby.
Wow, that's a lot to go through! Pickers Pardise! Thanks for sharing 🎄🎄
Yes it was! All of that. Thank you too
Wow! Amazing, exhausting and rewarding. I don't know if I could keep the smile on my face like you do, even know I love discovering treasures😁
Good luck! I hope you make at on of $$$$$$.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos!!!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!
Glad to do it! This one turns out just fine in the end. The smile is genuine but I leave the less smiley bits on the cutting room floor lol
Mirrors were used to make the room look bigger. Great job thank you for all your hard work.
Sir George, I've come to see how much work goes into the process of setting up an estate sale. I'm just setting up my first Market / Bazaar and am praying 🙏 I'm even partially up to your standards. You'll do fabulous as always. You never disappoint 😊 !
The Lincoln is great!
It's so good to be able to help preserve a car like this
I absolutely LOVE your channel. I found you from Crazy Lamp Lady’s channel. I’ve got my Mom (who can’t get out much anymore) watching you and she loves learning more about antiques or just older things..... so thank you for what you do!!! So glad to have found you. I’m catching up on all of your videos 😊
That's terrific and I'm so glad to give you and Mom something fun to do together
Wow ! That's crazy that place was like walking back into time a lot of interesting stuff 'thanks for sharing ! Some Beautiful glass pieces..
Yes it was! I liked the glass too.
Hej from Denmark 🇩🇰
Wauw so many fun things.😘
I love the yellow chairs. And the bronze
Box.😊 Whishes I could be there🥰
Mary christmas🎄🎄💝
The bronze box was pretty! The yellow chairs were fun and sunny looking.
It was so great to meet you George and you did a wonderful job with the sale! It was so crowded when I was there. Hope you were happy with the results! I LOVE my pelican painting, so glad I got there before it was sold!! It looks great against the gray walls in our condo and I had the perfect spot for it. I also bought a nice French press, some serrated knives and a couple hooks, all of which I actually needed. Thanks again for all of your terrific videos, I can't believe how much I've learned from the last few months of watching!! Happy holidays!
I'm so excited you got it! I'm glad you had fun at the sale! I think I said the wrong viewer name in the video because I figure people can maintain anonymity
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thanks! I think you just said "a viewer" which was fun, since I knew that was me :)
Fun to how things sold and how you determine prices.
I thought it'd give some insight!
I did an estate sale that had stuff in the rooms to the ceiling. Ended up doing 3 sales from that house. They also had 2 huge storage units.
Wow, I've had a few like that too, it's a big job!
Good Lord!! The man hours.
Question: Do you remember the brand of the small sound board?
The price of that house on the canal is 1/3rd the price here 😯. I had a corner shelf black deco revival curved glass cabinet in the 80s!! Thank you for a behind the scenes field trip 👍❤️
My pleasure! Prices are still better in Florida. I don't recall the brand on the small board
Over 300 labor hours. Wow! And I thought my 100+ hours was a lot! There definitely was more stuff in this sale than at my parents' estate. If I had a nickel for every estate sale that I went to that had a chirping smoke alarm, I'd be rich, lol.
Ha! I agree. I'm so glad I could help you with your folks' estate and believe me, 100 hours is a ton, that's about how many I worked on this sale myself.
Thank you so much George! Your videos make for a really fun and educational evening! Your vast knowledge is just fantastic!
Many thanks!
George, have you ever been to The Brimfield Flea Market in Massachusetts? It is miles long. I know you travel, but didn't know if you traveled that far.
Want to, plan to, haven't yet!
Hi George, This house is amazing. Lots of great things. I'm watching another youtube channel called "Curiosity Incorporated ." Based in Canada. Alexander is the host and he is also cleaning out a hoarder's house. You should check it out. I think you'll find it fascinating to watch. I love your videos. I always learn so many new things. And I've become a better shopper because of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your videos are always fun and entertaining too. I especially love seeing America as you travel. It's almost as good as seeing it in person. Happy Holidays!
watching it as well his 2nd hoarder house its overwhelming but very interesting to see what he finds.
I'm so glad! I'm very happy that you're enjoying them. I like Alex's view of doing hoards, I've followed him before and will catch this one too
His hoard looks pretty good!
Oh how I wish I would have filmed My 92yr old Moms Hoarder House that took 5 months 3 huge dumpster 5 or 6 garage sales furniture sales on Offer-Up and trips trips to GoodWill and I even Gave away "FREE Piles" Brand New items everyday for months..Now I am down to a storage unit full of Vtg items to Sale 20/21... oh and I consigned out 3 bedroom closets full of vtg clothing My Mom worked for speedo{a division of White Stag} for years early 70's she boxes of brand new swimwear and track outfits brand new vtg with the tags My sisters did not want Moms stuff so I did that sorting everyday all summer.........And also watch Alex
Am so excited that we will see more.
Me too! Tomorrow's video is fun
Looks like a fun sale in progress.
Have fun!! Lots of hard work!!!
Happy Christmas 🎄
Happy Christmas to you! Best wishes
At vintage vigo I watch Alex's show too
He's got interesting stuff

Cool,am playing catch up with your old videos,my grandma had an exact same cross
Merry Christmas George!
Same to you!
I love Lincoln Towncars, I have own 2 before!
Great content. Will definitely come back for the next. When is it coming out? Thumbs Up 👍
Make sure you are subscribed and have all notifications turned on to be alerted. It's tonight at 8:00pm Eastern US Time. Hope to see you in the chat! :)
I always love walking into a vintage 80s style estate. This one looks very nice. Love all the deco and lacquered furniture. Takes me back. Would love to see the clothes and accessories, hope you show some. 😎
I do show them all ready and set to sell in tomorrow's video!
Great video. Plenty of great items, but oh my, what a lot of work to price and display!
So true!
Did they have anything left to take with them? That's a lot of beautiful things left behind. Do they have any cutco cutlery? I would be interested in that. Thanks George for bringing us along.
No Cutco, I don't think they spent on high-end brands that way. They did take a bunch as well, you'd be amazed!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I am amazed. Counting the stuff they took. Kind of reminds me of a Hoarder house but cleaner.
I know the work and hours but what's worse is when its your 92yr old Mom's home and she lived in her home 58yrs my childhood home!! 🏠
Wow, that would be a big one! I hired someone to do my dad's estate, too close to be able to do it objectively
Fans show George some love. Share his video with a friend who may want to subscribe 🎉 Click on Share Arrow! 🎉
showcase at my last sale...had the exact same manufacturer...2:45.....it was three separate pieces making up a wall unit....all 3 lit up...all glass doors...same color and hinges...even a drop down mirrored door with a lighted bar area.....I thought it was incredible....at the sale there was zero interest....mild interest listed on fakebook marketplace afterward and a crazy low price...the house sold and I ended giving the units away to a 2nd hand charity shop because they had 2 men and a truck that could take it away.....shame really....would have looked awesome in an uptown condo in nearby Charlotte NC.
They're beautiful but too big to move for most people, and just not the level of china and glass displayed that way in modern homes
Hi , I really enjoy your videos! What happens to all of the unsold items? Thank you.
Usually a buyout, donation or combination of both
I watched your series on periscope. Why didn't you have more than one weekend sale with the amt. Of items. I look at all they collected and can't believe the amount of wasted money. Just my opinion. Thank for the info.
Merry Christmas
Hi, Judy! I'll reveal the answer to that in tomorrow's video
I would totally hire you to hold my estate sale. I see so many sales in Kansas City being held by companies who don't necessarily know how to price items for most profit.
That's so kind! I have to say I thought prices at the estate sales I hit in KC were low, considering it's a big metro area with a rather wealthy section (Country Club). I was a happy buyer though!
@@TheAntiqueNomad it's definitely a buyers market here!
Wow mooring on the water; where is thier boat?
We never got to see it, I imagine it went to the new house
George do you ever find collection of small paper goods like trade cards
I love trade cards! I find them on occasion, paper ephemera is one of my favorite categories and I look forward to the next cache
George, have you ever refused to do a sale? Are there times when the amount of work just exceeds the value of the stuff and doing a sale just isn't worth your time?
Often! I have a minimum, if I can't see that much potential when I walk through I turn it down. With hoarders, there has to be extra incentive (here it was the car) or a lot of potential
@@TheAntiqueNomad have you seen any where the value was great but the hoard around it was too high risk to bother?
George i have a gerda Gerdago lamp that is worth too much to just leave in my booth I'm not very good with tech and I have no interest in keeping it any thoughts I'm afraid it will get broken in my booth
Gerdago lamps are good sellers. Are you willing to ship? You might sell online, or ask your mall to put it at the counter for sale in a safe place and to promote it on their social media
@@TheAntiqueNomad its got the millifore globe so i was trying to be careful with it i got it for $2.00 with a $5coupon & only realized what it was when I checked Google Lens. Then I tiptoed over to my china cabinet with it😂 I think it's too high priced an item for the area my antique mall is in which is loves pk Ill. But we do have 1of the shwcse 4 high high-priced things so I guess that it's something I'll have to consider, thank you & have a nice holiday. Also, when you're in FL please feel free to check out my friend & her sons businesses she was an inspiration to me, it's Pearl @ Mystikal Scents in thononasassa, & Ray Prather Buku tattoo in st Pete rt on central.was there in may but antique plc.on central wasn't open yet ..so we didn't get to see ur booth:(
The royal doulton figurine: how did you determine it was a fake?
I took it out and it was a planter, the clay wasn't right and the bottom was not well finished
We’re you able to find the Keyes......?
Some of them, yes! Enough at least
Hello I am new to selling but I am having a lot of trouble listing on eBay. I'm just not getting it. I don't know if it's because I had a stoke a few years ago and my brain just doesn't work the same. I have watched all thw youtube videos and just can't see to get. Do you have any suggestions or advice. I'm just trying ro nake enough money to live on my own, not trying to get rich or anything. Thanks for helping with anything you know.
Liz Richard , Have you watched Danni @ The Niche Lady and Yvon - Thrify Rich? They have years of eBay & reselling experience & have EBay 101 courses. You might need help listing. You can do the research, photography, shipping and sourcing.
Hi Liz, I think Old Stuff Beth has the right suggestion! They are very good and you can follow along easily. Good luck!
Thank you you so much for your advice and help.
Do you get to buy things first ? At a fair price of course
If there's a lot of the same thing, then I might waive my rule about not pre-buying; but my feeling is that I'm there to sell to other resellers and not cherry-pick the best stuff, I do get a commission for what I sell so it's only right to let other people see it. Besides, a ton of dealers show up at my sales because they know I don't take out all the good stuff before they get there
@@TheAntiqueNomad Good for you Reputation is everything
🙃
Yep
Its sad people work , work , work and then buy ,buy and buy and in the end did not even need or want the stuff. Its best to keep it simple and enjoy the little things.
Certainly earning your fee on this estate. Hope you calculated cose to the hours that u and your crew spent there 💐 😂
👍🇨🇦🤗
Actually, to me. this looks like a nightmare.
Bolsheviks
This place was one hot mess.
