    Really enjoy your channel. You always make it interesting. I can see why the store is changing. The cost in time and money is no longer necessary. You can do so much on your own without it. Either way you always succeed. I totally support your decision. You made the a reasonable choice - to sell - you always have a good reason. Here’s to your happiness and continued success 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

      It’s your life Alexander! You can choose to change it any way you see fit and no one can comment negatively unless they are you because this life and these changes belong only to you and your family and no one else unless they live inside you!!!!!! Lol keep yo the good work!!!!!

    Alex, My Hubby & I look forward to watching your videos & have been enjoying the house build. We are excited to see what your future holds. Enjoy these times with your family while you're able to. You can always do antiquing & various other things, but you never get a 2nd chance with your family. Hope you, Melissa & the kids enjoy the rest of your life. We'll still be tuning in to watch. 😊

    I am so used to the intro that I didn't even notice Alex had edited it to remove the store until I saw it in other comments. So smoothly done that it really din't change the flow. I was really surprised by yesterday's announcement, but like so many others I wish him and his family well.

    That Chuck Wagon reminds me of when I was a little kid - back 100 years ago 😁 (early 70's) There were commercials for the dog food, Gravy Train that had a tiny Chuck wagon and tiny horses that would run around the floor when the dog was fed. It came right out of the bag!! We had a dog, Martha. When my parents feed her, I could never figure out why we didn't have the tiny horses like the commercial showed. My Mom would laugh when I asked and tell me it was special just for the commercials 😉

    My sweet mother bought a Singer Sew Handy electric sewing machine for me when I was 8 years old. That was 60 years ago and I still have it. It's the most amazing Christmas gift from Santa that I ever got!

    I like your clock too! The first thing is I'd want to protect the outer neon ring from damage, especially in a garage with power and air tools. Maybe a nice plexi domed frame would compliment it as well as protect it.

  • @gilligan6868
    @gilligan6868 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Hey Alex, I had one of those Leather suit cases its strange as the handle was broken when I received it as well.
    But just last year it didn’t seem to move on my site so I put it on Market Place & had a buyer in the same week.
    I’m not sure what price you would sell it for but the buyer came around to $60.
    Did I do ok on that ?
    Cool Hot Wheels I had a miniature collection of old vintage classics - model T, Daimler, Rolls Royce & Cadillac
    Sold for $125 I was pleased about that.
    I just wanted to get into buying old furniture & finally fixing up a really sweet table & chairs.
    But now just selling stuff from odd boxes from an old barn that sells Antiques & some stuff they added which was quite modern - BBQ tools Brand New. I expect they will move come summer.

The last two years has been hard on every one even us, I lost my mom to covid last March 29th she was only 72 and it been hard for us. I still have my Old match box and hot wheels collection I will sell to you only .Just trying to plan how to do it, from Washington State to Edmonton . I have other old toys too. This could build your collection of hotwheels again. I'm selling of fmy toys to save for a small Rv to retire and see the country, my moms wishes for me. God Bless

    I started collecting metal toy sewing machines in the early 1970’s and own a number of Casige machines. The one you have has a beautiful decoration, different than any in my collection. Great find as is that neat old t.v. So many TH-cam videos are mid century decorators. Goes well with Pyrex. 🤣 I also loved all the cars. Lastly, I have too many clocks to count (not vintage) and that one you found is beautiful. Love to see the neon when it’s repaired as it would look spectacular in your new garage.

Not only is it exciting to see what he finds to buy or just admire, but a lot of the items need restoration which might be done in the same video. There are companion videos of just restoration. Anyway, you might enjoy doing something like he does.
