- First View Vintage Estate Sale | Reselling Antiques & New!
Come in with me! We're getting the first look at this packed estate sale house, the trust attorney just gave us the keys and you're seeing it the way I'm seeing it...for the first time.
It's all here, this home in a fine St. Petersburg, Florida neighborhood is full of good stuff and we're here to organize, price, promote and sell all of it! But what all do we have?
The living room makes an auspicious start, with a pristine 1920s maple burl dining suite festooned with gracious antique porcelains and glass, a modernist candle set and a few of what prove to be many, many pieces of Portmerion China strewn throughout the house!
Strewn is the operative word...we see collectibles, art and furniture from Asia, Africa and 1940s America, some hidden under piles of books, some under boxed and unopened new household items, some under afghans and vintage blankets! Boudoir collectibles, Fenton and Scandinavian glass, Hummels and Wedgwood, old paper ephemera, Christmas gear and lovely decor items...there is just so much in here to sort, merchandise and price for resellers. (We haven't even looked in the closets of clothes with original tags still on them!)
We talk about what we see, the fun and the fanciful...what we'll do with it is the big topic of conversation. We'll be back with more video to show you what more we find, and how we transform this crowded house into a successful estate sale that will help our client, nostaglia seekers and resellers alike!
Here's some of what you'll see in this video:
Coromandel style screen, nesting tables, Wildflower pressed glass bowl, pattern glass compote, cut glass pitcher, art glass paperweights, African wood figures, Asian wall art, Shannon Crystal ferris wheel, Pasco kissing fish, Charlotte Byj Goebel Redhead, slide collection, childrens books, Peters and Reed lamps, Pyrex, glass side display table, Victorian settee set, Asian low tables, Asian scroll, Goebel birds, Limoges chocolate pot, landscape paintings, Duncan Caribbean port stems, spoon collection, English china and teapots, 1930s bowknot mirror, Victorian marriage manual, polyglot Bible, Noritake China set, 1970s airline cards, carved kidney shaped desks, secretary desk, 1970s French-style bedroom furniture, costume jewelry, Rosewood marimba, 1970s stainless Niello flatware set, horse brasses, magnets, barware, Waterford, Orrefors, ladies' rocker, dog tags, sewing box, 1910s convex frame photo print, formica table, enamelware, globe, etc.

Right when you came in the door and I saw her glasses sitting on the nesting tables 😥.
Nothing like,' An old shin bashing table " 😂 😂 Great description 😂
This makes me want to clean out my own drawers and closets. Estate sales put our lives on display for all.
That's a true 'reality check', yes!
Man, how did she breath with all those belongings? It's stifling 😂
At least it was a clean and somewhat organized hoarder house.
I'd like to compliment you on the respectful way that you went through this house. I love watching your videos. You're very knowledgeable and I always learn a few things. Thanks for another interesting video!
OMG George. How do you keep from becoming over whelmed? You amaze me with your knowledge, enthusiasm and positive outlook on such a large project. I'll be waiting for the sale....
Thanks! It's fun enough to forget to be overwhelmed
Her reading glasses are still on the table ( Nesting table's) this house sure tells a story.
I am 40 miles south of Zanesville, Ohio....Great Beautiful Amish Country up there!! Took my breath when you said that!!
You are so respectful, tfs
Interesting stuff but I’m interested if her pet found a good home!! Glad you’re there to appreciate the antiques.
Lol i need to know if her pet is ok!
I wondered the same thing.
Watching this makes me want to go through everything I have and get rid of stuff except things I use. The clutter of stuff makes me anxious. You have to be a special kind of person to do the job you do.
I agree!
This the accumulation of decades! No way ,You can get to check everything for the sale time! Amazing1
You are very kind to think of your staff in being the first to explore some things. Having done that job, it really did make it enjoyable to unveil things just as they were left.
It is fun to find stuff!
So refreshing to watch someone else shop, Cheaper too. I, being addicted (seriously) to spending money (not yet a hoarder) enjoy just watching it. And of course, it feeds my addiction for a reasonable price. TY from Oregon.
I have worked auction in estate sales and such. My it was alot of fun. My 3 daughters were little and I did a going out of business auction and went home with black garbage bag of arts and crafts. Just a bit of everything and the girls lived it
How fun for you all! That's neat
You probably should commission a rare book dealer to sell your Polyglott Bible. Could be worth quite a bit.
WOW OH WOWZERS!!!! AWESOME!!
Thanks!!
Thank u George ! Fun to discover with you. I hope to find your vidio of this Estate sale, agter u setup
At least some of those stuffed animals afound the 13:35 mark are old Steiffs and collectors items. My dad was stationed in Germany and we all had them--they're worth a fair amount now, even worn.
Thanks for posting this, it gives me an idea what to look forward to with my aunt, who's very much alive but in her 90s and reluctantly having to downsize and move closer to family and medical facilities.
They seem like similar kinds of ladies. Sorry to hear the owner of this estate had passed, she seemed like she was really interesting.
Aaaah! Look at that China Cabinet!😮
the quilt pattern is called, 'Grandmother's flower garden'. It was a great way to use up all kinds of leftover and small pieces of random fabrics. You are right that those fabrics are more modern. the low arms on the lady's rocker made it much more comfortable with more freedom of arms for a nursing mother to hold the baby and rock them also, and easier too if you were sitting there doing needlework . Higher up arms just got in the way terribly! Best of luck on what looks to be a delightful estate sale
Thank you! I really need to study my basic quilt patterns again it’s been too long
What an amazing amount of quality items, especially the art and furniture. I love that she surrounded herself with things she clearly adored. Tierra Verde is so nice--and I really love Fort DeSoto. We go there about once a month from my area of St. Pete. Until I started following your channel, George, I didn't know you spent time down this way. I am a 4th generation Floridian by birth, but lived many years in NYC as an adult. Now I'm back. I love that Florida "collects" people from all over. We're like a people thrift shop!
What a wonderful home! How fortunate she was to be surrounded by her treasures and able to indulge her desire for them - with out becoming a full out hoarder who can't really deal or enjoy their possessions .
I so envy you your job! And I love that you have such an appreciation for what you find!
Thank you! I feel fortunate to get to do all this.
OMG those old books are fantastic.
What a great house! something for everyone from all over the globe. That blue bathroom was soooo blue! Bet she had some great designer clothing in that closet. Loved all the Port Merion pieces, Wedgwood, Asian, etc. I admire this woman for traveling so much , whether on her own or with a friend to such faraway places. Maybe she did so for work, or just was well off and could do so. An independent woman, for sure! Looking forward to the sale video. Thank you for showing it all in its original habitat!
Even though I took care of my best friend for 4 years before she passed, and am her Executrix, I didn't know where all of her important documents and assets were located. She was very sick and had been so methodical and business-like, but towards the end, she just didn't care. She was parceling out her things towards the end for me to make lists. After she passed in 2003, I found paperwork inside of vases, teapots, trunks, books, etc. I had to look inside of everything. After I parceled out things to the people she wanted to have them, I had to clean out her apartment in two weeks and hauled it all to my garage and house. I collected 8 trash bags full of paperwork into my spare bedroom and it took one year , in my spare time from a full time job, and home and family, to go through it all sort it, contacting all kinds of places, etc. Per the Probate attorney, I had 3 garage sales/ estate sales and what was left over he said to either give away, or keep. I donated a lot to Salvation Army. anyone that came to visit me had to leave with something! I called relatives, in-laws, and friends to bring trucks and take furniture, lamps, pictures, knick knacks, and clothing and shoes! After almost 20 years later, I still find boxes with wrapped items in my rafters that I don't recall seeing before. She had inherited from her German Mom and Grandmother and was a single, only child with no heirs. I have to research so many items from Europe and have learned a lot from you and other resellers. I now have an Ebay store to sell what's left, and just last year sold an Opera length beaded necklace for $400 that I found in the bottom of a box! She has paid me back many times over but I so miss her! We only knew each other 12 years, but we just clicked the first time we met. We were Thelma and Louise! Thanks for your great videos, George!
Enjoyed reading your message, thank you for sharing :)
You did a wonderful thing for your friend. I am late to this channel, so I am catching up, which is why I am responding so late. I have an attorney with whom I have drafted a trust so there will be NO mysteries at the time of my death.
I live in St. Petersburg. Can't believe I missed this sale!
Love, love your channel.
I hope to see you at a good one next season!
Clean well kept house despite the clutter. Nice furniture and oddities and marimba. Antique books and Bibles, cool. Pool!? Wow.🤛🏾
Wow! So much. Looks to be a busy set up, but great stuff.
"Bonnet optional"...HA!!!💜😁
Lol
Donate towels to animal shelters.
What an interesting person the late occupant must have been. So much cool stuff!
Sure seems to be!
You are so lucky,George. When you do estate sales it’s like opening Christmas presents. Gorgeous things and so many.
This is so sad, and a reminder to do a Swiss Death Clean before I get too old.
Wow wow wow!! I would feel so overwhelmed!! I would love to help with this though! How much fun can you have!!?? Awesome
Happy to hear you have a good crew. That is
Going to be a daunting challenge.
Hello from your new sub in freezing 🇨🇦 ! Great channel👍 Can't wait to dive in and catch up 😉 All the best!
Hi Lisa! Thank you so much! Have fun and tell your friends
@@TheAntiqueNomad will do my friend! I love your knowledge 🎓... think Im going to learn a lot from your channel. Thank you🙏
I would love to be a fly on the wall and see how you and your crew pull it all together to sell….👍💯👍👀👀👀
I wish I could help you go thru and sort. I'm no expert but am good at researching things. I love antiques and collectibles.
OMG! I wish you would have opened the cedar box in that last closet! Hehehe.
I just now am watching this! This is why my sons despise helping me move..lol...I am envious of all that Portmeirion! I have several pieces of the Botanic Garden myself.
Lol I understand! I have a friend who has helped enough that he has a lifetime pass on future moves
It's sad, but very kind of her to leave her estate to charity ...
I too find it very sad. I know George will use the utmost respect while selling her Estate.
It is always sad to see the deceased belongings being sold.
This lady had great style and I wish she could be there to tell the story behind each item.
I have been downsizing for 20 years and although I have got rid of a lot it wasn't easy. I have had to clean out 5 generations of homes and it always brings melancholy and nostalgic.
Did she pass suddenly?
I always feel sad if no family member wanted the deceased's belongings ,or if the person even had family.
She had beautiful antiques and personal items.
A lovely cottage.
It seems she was in her 70-90 age range.
I would love to buy her bedroom furniture and some other pieces throughout the home.
This was a lovely home.
It looks like she didn't know she wasn't coming home What happened to her
It's a shame the people who had first digs just ramshacked the bedrooms.
Love the blanket
Awesome, love going thru stuff😊 Love your knowledge of things!
So interesting to see the inside of peoples lives and collections. I’m sure that’s a tremendous amount of work for you and your crew.
Love seeing your sales! look forward to watching!
Really enjoy your shows, so interesting looking at all the goodies.
So many beautiful items and collectibles! So much fun watching this! Thank you 😊
No one can take it with them when they cross over. It's just stuff in the end.
We’re just here to enjoy it and hopefully let it exist after we do
That was really fun and interesting! Thanks George!!
I love your knowledge of all the home items
So much cool stuff! Thanks for the tour.
Wow that looks like a lot of work. I’ll be watching
I always love to see the before & after when you have set up the items for sale. Thanks for showing us everything. Happy that you have some warm sunshine down there.
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing what else you find.
🙏🙏🙏😇 "Bonnet is optional" 😂😂
Gah I wish I could attend this estate sale…. So much great stuff.
Thank you for the tour 🇨🇦
My pleasure! Hope to hold another sale in January
Nice video George! I always learn something from you! 💕🤗💕
I'm glad you have a good crew...it looks like it's going to be a huge job!
The swizzle sticks are collectible!
Wow, what an interesting woman 😌. And a great house. Makes my back hurt thinking about all the work. ❤🌹❤
I cannot wait to see what is in that sewing basket!
I loved this, thank you!
Thank you too!
Wow she had such a beautiful collection of a life well lived!
Agreed
Wow. So many treasures of all kinds. You have a lot of good work ahead.
Thank You for sharing. Very interesting.
Looking forward to the estate sale video! This was fun. Best of luck!
Fascinating video. Excited to see further developments.
Absolutely beautiful
Wonderful! See you there!
This is very timely for me. I will be going from my home near Toronto to New Mexico to clear out and sell my late Mom's house.🇨🇦
Love the Asian decor pieces! What a great sale to be a part of. Wish I lived closer!!! All the best George and keep the videos coming!
A lot of interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing!
There's more in the next video!
Thanks for traveling through FL.
Wow what a huge job! I love your shorter hair in the intro 😂
Looking forward to seeing it when you set this all up for the sale. I bet the transformation will be incredible. This will be interesting, can’t wait. 👏👏
How to be a good wife: barf. Lol. I love everything else though! The xylophone!!!! I played xylophone in high school, so naturally I’m drawn to that beauty. This estate sale looks like one I’d spend a lot of money at! Btw I got my painting and I love it!!! Thank you very much. It looks awesome in my office-I’ll have to send you a photo.
Lol I'm glad we don't live in 1865! I'm so glad you got the painting and I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks
How cool. This looks so interesting
WOW! I really wish I lived closer and could go there. I would buy so much stuff; I think I would need a U-Haul! 😀😉 I really like that Botanical Garden dish set. It would have been fun to listen to the stories that went along with some of those collections and travels.
I didn’t get to meet her but I felt like I got to share some of her experiences
Oh my goodness!! It’s so overwhelming !! You really have an enormous amount of work! I do love watching you and your knowledge of all these varied items!! 😊
So happy to be back..had a 4 mo warranty nightmare on computer that was a gift from dad and disaster when needed,,,was on three weeks and then more trouble,,,finally got back on with a more affordable fix with a local company who's owner I babysat for and who's dad was my first boss...this one is wonderful...I love the dining room and the chair...those stuffed with wood too and the ribbs of stuffing in back, you are one dear soul,,,thanks for the comments and can not wait to buy some things from you and keep watching and more importantly see your shops and booths and you somewhere...Best of the New Year to you and more and joy and success..Peace and love..Sarah
Thanks so much Sarah! I promise you’ll get to see it all
That looks like it’ll be a great estate sale!!
Love your positive energy...I have always a smile in my face, when I watch your videos... THX und Dankeschön! 🤗
Bitte Schoen!
@@TheAntiqueNomad 🥰
Wow, that's going to be one great estate sale !!!
Like a stroll down memory lane 🙏
I would be overwhelmed but digging in for hidden treasure. Good Luck!❤
George you get to explore so many things from so many era's. You are a delight to listen to. Thank you for taking us along.
Waw it's beautiful 😍
My goodness this looks to be a big job. I'm a big fan of Portmeirion, I know, I know you can probably pick out my birthday form that fact, lol. Lots of nice furniture and artwork as well. Looks like you'll have more stuff than surfaces, I look forward to seeing how you manage. I guess what I mean is that it is all so interesting!
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
My word! So much stuff!
I do love the horse "brasses".
Wish I could come see that one! Have fun!
Hi George, hope the sale goes really well. I really enjoyed this walk-thru. So many great things, it made me wish I was in the USA so I could come. You have so much knowledge that just flows out of you - I really appreciate that! I especially love your jokes and witty comments - they make me laugh! Thanks so much for taking us all with you. All the best. Keep safe. Love from Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. xo
Thanks that is a lot of items! Definitely got your work cut out for you. It was like an adventure to watch!
I so enjoyed seeing your walk through. I love going to estate sales and the work you have to do to prepare is just overwhelming to me. Thank you for sharing.
Glad I could!
Thank you for the informative video, I always learn so much from you, it's like taking a master class.
So nice of you! I’ll try to keep finding more and different things to show you
Hello to all that mall has gorgeous items nice turn out
You brought a couple tables… LOL. I don’t know where you begin! It’s as if the occupant just got up and walked out. As much as I love estate sales as a window into someone’s World, I still find them a little sad (until I spot a treasure, of course). Let this be a lesson to all of us, kids. Clean it out and sort it out now!
There was a set of glasses im interested in. They were colored codels in that pantry you were surprised about.
