As a genealogist it breaks my heart that the relatives do not want their ancestors pictures. Since most of them are not labeled they might not know who they are. The scrapbooking with the newspaper clippings may be of interest to local buyers who are also genealogist or historians. I am glad you saved them from the trash.
@@sherryfreeman5338 yes they did because I literally checked out with multiple family members who saw the items and one family member was up there with me at one point when I was going through the photos
I can't believe that the family doesn't want pictures of their ancestors. Those pictures are amazing, and I would love to have pictures like that. I love how somebody labeled the scrap books with the years on the front, and im sure those books meant a lot to them.
I used to spend almost every Saturday afternoon in a 50-year-old huge antique store digging and found a scrapbook with aerial snapshots of concentration camps during WWII. I sold it on eBay, but I really wish I hadn't. But, the buyer said he wanted to publish a book with it, so I'm glad it was going to be used to teach others about the War.
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter They were actual photos taken from an airplane as they flew over the camps during WWII by the man who owned the scrapbook. The real thing! That store had lots of items from retired military men since it is near an military base.
I love every one of your videos. That vintage doll with pink & white skirt is a toilet paper cover. EVERYBODY had one in their bathroom in the 50’s. I wish it was a rare, valuable doll. But alas, she is the keeper of the toilet paper. Love to you and your family & of course Daisy ❤️ By the way I’m almost 70, so I very much remember, because my Mother didn’t like the doll/tp idea so we never had one but everyone else did!!!
Hi Dom, It is correct, that sitting down calm and easy and take your time can get you some good stuff. But in the case of photos I had just grabbed the hole box. Cause what happens when you sit there for 20 minutes, the other guys gets all the other treasures in the house :-) and maybe the more valuable ones. I understand why you made a spot for your self cause I love old photos and postcards my self :-) and collect them. But I am from Denmark so it is mostly danish stuff I collect. And I have a lot from the period 1885-1930. I enjoy watching your channel all the way from Denmark. I am a picker and collector myself and have been for around 12-15 years. So it is fun to see what is going on abroad as well. Thanks for the entertainment. Best Regards René
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter Thanks for your reply :-) in Denmark on fleamarkets everything happen the first 20-30 minutes. Here pickers empty out for the good stuff. So sometimes when I get caught up in looking at vinyl records and stay there for 20 minutes I normally miss out on the rest :-) maybe it is different at your place. And yes I know you sometimes end up with a lot of old postcards where nothing really excited is in there but it will be levelled out from other good picks :) thanks for your response anf happy pickng :-)
@@michelleschaefer9545 Thanks Michelle :-) in Denmark there is nobody filming the picking only when the TV Channels make tv programs where you follow pickers :-) But I have considered bringing a go pro some times :-) wish you the best and happy picking :-)
Prime Time! That photo of the two elderly people took the cake in my book! WOW! To make it even more interesting, she was even knitting, YOU always astound me with the incredible treasures you score. I am in Florida now but lived most of my life in NY on LI and I so miss all of the estate sales from many of those old vintage packed homes, it is just not the same here. This was an amazing video, thanks for the morning entertainment I had with my coffee.
Thank you, sunshine! I love your name by the way. As someone who once moved from New York to Florida for a while I can definitely relate on the differences. I’m glad to be able to reconnect you to your New York roots with these videos! Thanks for the comment.
My grandmother Clancy bought from those oldcestates...usually idc was very low vost, like the 2 bushel baskets of daffodils bulbs she brought to us once. I miss the Long Island of the 1940s-1950s.
Oh my! NEW YORK SRATE really is such a beautiful area ...I lived in Cornwall ont across border at Massena. I did geneology 13 yrs, and people were searching for their American history.
What about the Cabbage Patch Doll box? And the linens and curtains! Maybe they dont interest you? Oh well, pick whatever brings you joy. My favorite items were the beautiful vintage curtains with the little white rings that you were using to move stuff with. They are in fantastic condition, such vibrant reds and yellow and blue!
Cabbage patch doll box for as empty and not worth getting. Few of the dolls are even worth getting at this point. I did not pick up the linens and curtains due to sanitary reasons and stains.
What a cool adventure! They had some awesome vintage items! I liked the fabric you used to clean out a place to sit. I wish you would have picked that up. I also liked the enamel table and chair down in the basement beside the washer. I think that’s where you found the juicer. That desk/chair combo would have been a great piece to restore. My favorite find was definitely the hair dryer!! I had never seen one that old. Super cool! Thanks for bringing us along ❤
It actually does not bring good profit. I specialize in books. First of all, it's pretty damaged. Condition is nearly everything when it comes to books. Secondly, you can get one for $13 on ebay.
I had bot a lot of antique/vintage glass from this auction, I didn’t think there was any chance I’d end up with the glass I got, but I ended up helping a woman and her husband who lived in another state and the woman was was the only child of her parents, the mother passed away years ago and father just passed away. I ended up helping them clear the property, the farm, had been in the family with the grandparents raised there, then the fathers family, then he and his wife raised their family there, the farm house,and all the cows and farm equipment sold very quickly at the auction, household items did not do well. One of the last days they had some stuff still upstairs, old photos like you have, books, some school paperwork from colleges that were established long ago, I have a few college newsletters all hand typed, lol. Amazing items Great show Prime Time, Daisy. Get some prime rib for dinner tonight sweetie. You deserve it💕
also a good tip is when you are in the attic alone searching for treasures make sure the organizers know you are there so they don't leave you there when they go home😉
Dom! Sweet Jesus, 48 minutes AND an attic. Be still my heart. Loved this video. It actually looked like the house we lived in (Rochester, N.Y.) when I was born. (#7 of 11)! After seeing the mouse “deposits” I was concerned about condition but wow,the condition of the books and pictures is pretty incredible. Real photo postcards! Ca Ching. Can’t believe the family wasn’t interested in them. Thanks for taking us along.
What a great amount of treasures. This was an amazing learning experience for me and how I can enjoy going through estate sales more intently. Thank you.
Did not know Pollyanna was such a world traveler, lol. I've sold Horatio Alger books as well. I love the covers. That linen though!! What you were using to move stuff around, I would have picked that up if it was washable, but I know linen is not everyone's cup of tea. Say Hi to Daisy for me!
Yeah, I keep trying to explain to ppl with the linens that it’s hard to convey through the video the smells in the attic in addition to the sanitary issues. It’s so hard to get the smells out and once I saw the rat droppings that was it. So I focused on the other stuff. Will say hi to Daisy!
Dom. Can you add kf94 masks to your estate picking kit? They come individually packed in their own sealed envelope. Cool video but the dust would have me coughing and the droppings would have freaked me out.
I deafly will be adding a mask. I did not know that that the attic was going to be there. I did have my face covered for most of my time up there though.
I’m new to your videos. I love this one especially. The old photos, paper emphera, books scrapbooks, crochet doilies, linens, AWESOME. I would love to have them alllol
Fun video, it's good to see you digging in chaos like that b/c we sometimes run into the same thing and on the surface it might appear there's nothing worth the time. Definitely good tips on just taking one's time and not getting overwhelmed. I'm interested in seeing what those pics go for and how you lot them up or sell individually. Daisy, I spent the morning running a Yardsale at my Grandpa's house. His Shih Tzu, Bandit, says "hi"
So much fun, I have been sick this week so no treasure hunting for me this weekend, have to live vicariously through TH-cam. Watching that made me want to sneeze though...
I love that old mailbox. I'm addicted to old metal objects of any type or sort. Without the hooks attached to the bottom I can see that sitting on my desktop as a decorative item.
The curtain you were using has value as well as many other fabrics I saw. i wish we had estate sales like that where I live. great to go along with you on this hunt.
Thanks but I stay away from fabrics when they are in this type of environment. Hard for viewers to appreciate the smells and there were sanitary issues. Mrs PT does not want me taking that stuff home.
Those doilies and other crocheted pieces are very valuable. The smell will likely wash out. Bearded iris is my favorite flower. They are beautiful and very large.
Hey Dominic, the GIRLS OF THE TRUE BLUE book was illustrated by a famous artist, Howard Chandler Christy, who painted many gorgeous woman back in the day.
Okay I finally got to watch definitely worth the wait! I would have gone for the photos too. Great finds. Maybe they would have thrown in the scrapbooks of newspaper clippings...leaving those behind made me sad LOL. Probably the hoarder in me but I kept thinking there might be a historical clipping in there. Anyway...fun dig! Thanks for sharing.
That was a wonderful treasure trove of old illustrated children's books! As someone who ince sold books online, and at one time had over 11,000 books, I would have been delighted to make that find. 🎉
15:47 😳Ooh! I’m prob the only person who would’ve beelined to frantically empty that marlboro cardboard box. Yeah, for the box.😂 Seriously, you hit the jackpot that was so cool! Edit: Again, got to the end and you mentioned grabbing the Mountain Dew box so… maybe it’s not just me? 😂😅
As soon as you got to the attic I was hoping you would check those photos and ephemera! I would have had a field day in there! Amazing find. 3 of those photos will cover your costs and you have so many! Great gets!
So interesting. We have old photos mostly from my husband’s family. You have patience to go through the photos. Really liked the print of the little girl. The juicer was great. Daisy has quite a stash. Give her a double tap! 😀
The bearded iris 💪🏻love that. So I’m still watching - I’m at the part where you’re moving stuff over so you can sit and take your time & go through everything & I thought - gosh I visualize someone with allllll your accomplishments & status’s in life being fast and breezing through things (I mean you’re a busy man) you’re quite the opposite- you take your time, teach, enjoy & do everything with intention & purpose. Very cool! You treat people we’ll & appreciate all the things. That’s pretty rad. Still watching but I thought gosh that’s such a cool gift you have. Thought I’d shout that out - you’re a cool dude, Primetime
Thanks so much. I really appreciate your positivity and understanding of what I’m doing. I always say there’s no need to rush to another room to hunt for treasures when there’s a pile of treasures right in front of you. 😃
I see some solid-wood picture frames - those are the sort of things I would buy. I usually toss the picture if there is one. If you look online, the cost of a new 9' length of framing lumber is well over $100, which is about enough to make a 20" x 30" frame. That's why people buy old frames and resize them, particularly if they are oak, maple, or cherry. Did you take The Clue of the Broken Locket - I see some sellers are asking $50 for early copies. It's $2000 with the original dust jacket, but that's nearly impossible to find.;
Well, new subscriber here. Very interesting sale. There's nothing like it in my area. It's funny how it seemed like very few people had visited the attic but once you went up there the floodgates opened. I always hate that when it happens. It's a dream of mine to be able to enter a time capsule of an attic, untouched for decades, and take my time to go through everything one by one, finding all kinds of cool photos and whatnots. I'm addicted to old photographs. I just wish family members wrote names and dates on the back of their photos.
Love the old photos. Did you check the stainless cookware beside where you found the mailbox? Some of the vintage stainless does very well. Thanks for great content.
I have been to countless estate sales where the family doesn't want anything to do with military citations and decorations, personal awards, yearbooks, personal letters, and pictures. It is sad, but its their choice for reasons not explained.
Love those digger sales they are the best. I am in Ga and sometimes we have different stuff here in the South. I wanted you to pick up that vintage angel candelabra in the attic on that old chest , and the powder jar ( I think that was the lid to it ) in the chest drawer😅. Do u find lots of vintage Christmas???
I like all the stuff that you found in your boxes and when I go out I find those things all the time I love it I don't have room for all of it I don't know how to sell it so I'm joining you maybe you can help me out I had fun being there with you
Thanks Tim! Easy to sell. Just do some comp searches on eBay for sold examples of something similar, see what is available currently for sale and price accordingly
I have never been to a sale of any kind where the items are boxed up and you dig for it- that it was incredible but it was surprising. Did the family have any idea what was up there? Also, if there were bonds, certificates, or money in any of those books, scrapbooks, or piles of papers and you bought them and didn’t discover the money until you got home, would you keep it as part of your purchase or return it?
The family had a general idea what was there and approved of all items at check out. I generally keep what I find and discover. Whether I would return a surprise find would depend on what it was and the amount. See my video called They Want it Back for an example.
Awesome video. It was great seeing u pickup those old black white photos. It’s cool seeing preserved history. I actually still own photos my grandmother left behind of the family.. also old black and white photos of the sisters of the filipino Nationalist Jose Rizal 🥰
I get such a kick out of you! My father was in a band called Rusty Ruben Ranch boys in the thirties. If you ever find any photos or scrapbooks I would love to have them thank you for your expertise
Hi Dom! Loved the video!! I was there, too, & said Hello to you!! (I hope I didn't interrupt your video taking...I didn't even see your camera). Yes, we got there right on their start time, however the house was so full of people already we could barely walk through! I'd just arrived in a room when you walked in. I didn't see any jewelry at all there. I know you were on a mission to get some for Mrs. Prime Time. I did pick up some silverware; a few Syracuse China plates; a figurine there. Those photos you found in the attic are super nice!! I also liked the Vintage Juicer. I have a smaller version of that. Thanks so much for doing your videos! Great tips, & lots of fun to go through the sales with you through them!! Love your sense of humor!! Give Ms. Daisy a good belly rub for me! lol...I love how you are with her!! Cracks me up! Lol. All the best to you, Mrs. Prime Time, & your family, (which includes lil' Ms.Daisy of course). Off to hunt more treasures this morning...even though we got a bit hammered with snow, & sleet last night! Keep up your awesome works!! Regards, Joyce Stanton
Hi Dominic, thank you for your videos. They’re really awesome I was just curious your last estate sale up in Syracuse. Did you happen to pick up the Mountain Dew box?
The pink chrocheted doll is to hide a back up toilet paper: the legs go in the roll and the skirt over the toilet paper. People had them in the back window of their cars , or nicely placed in the guest toilet room. Lovely pick:-)
Hi prime time I was wondering if you can tell me about old photos if you know what numbers that are stamped on the back mean for example # 23 or D 86 or you can ask someone that knows , because I bought a lot of old photos too from an estate sale a few days ago . Thanks 😊
I would have got all those doilies for you can make a bedspread with sewing them onto a satin background. They sell them between 5 and 25 euro depending on the size and the tread used.
Those lace pieces are beautiful!! I just bought 2 lots of lace from Lockernuts; going to use some of it for a quilt. Fabulous old photos! Are there any relatives that would want any of the photos? (PS, please keep gloves and a mask with you for digging in attics and basements, dust, possible rodent droppings..)
They don’t want the photos. 3 family members were there and confirmed. Agree on mask and gloves. Was totally not expecting that attic at all so I had to improvise
I can imagine myself sitting on the floor going through the items as well. The price at the end was the biggest surprise. How long do you think you were in the house?
Those kitchen curtains you kept using to pick up dirty stuff that was in your way were very clean btw, and very cool! Vintage kitchen curtains are popular too. Go for pretty good money.
Lol it’s just so funny how many people can’t figure out that while the curtains may have looked clean that they were in a very unhygienic place and smelled horrible. No way I’m taking that home but you are more than welcome too.
Those big hooks in the mailbox screw to the back and hang off the bottom for rolled up newspaper. Surprised you didn't open the drawers in the "jewelry" room. And the green case on the dresser looks like and old school jewelry box.
Maybe u should rename ol' Daisy as Double Tap Daisy lol cuz I just can't resist leaving her a comment knowing she'll get some good lovin!❤🥳 She reminds me very much of my very 1st dog that I had for 17 yrs. We got her when I was one, she was a Poodle Terrier named Matilda (Tilda for short) and she was about Daisy size. Daisy is such a cutie and the ever loyal friend, what a gal. Daisy, I applaud ur loyalty to Mrs. PT and ur always appeasing Mr. PT even though he isn't the Mrs. u always give him a bit of time and love and that's a good gurl Daisy 😍🥰☺️❤🦴(when u read it to her can u do the "that's a good gurl" in a baby voice kinda deal?) Thx PT P.S. these hidden treasure/gotta dig videos are my ALL TIME FAVS. I'm mostly a listener of TH-cam vids and not a watcher, but with these ones, I find myself glued to the screen unable to look away. U definitely have found ur niche with these vids and have the ability to really do them up great! Thanks again Dom, God Bless!
Thanks Tessa! Glad you like these kind of vids! They seem to be popular! I will read this to Daisy with an extra special baby voice and be sure to give extra double taps! Thanks for sharing about your 1st dog!
You passed up, what looks to be a vintage Chinese Checkers board (wooden?), to the left of the stairs as 7ou were heading down. Some people like to hang these on a wall ( think; kids rooms, game rooms, etc.). Don't miss these, if they are in good shape and cheap!
This is so sad the family didn't go through the attic. I would think they would have hired someone to sort everything and put out, so people wouldn't have to stay up in that molded, dusty attic. I would also think there were many treasurers in that attic. I love these videos but they do encourage me to get rid of stuff now 😅
That could be a job for someone!😀 I would love to do that. Pay me $20.00 hr to go through memorabilia. Maybe get some other gems from the house as well. First dibs.
I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying the channel. I wonder if you ever come across stashes of y knitting yarn. Just as I wrote this, you came across a yarn stash. Many don’t realize yarn can sell for quite a bit. Particularly natural fibers.look for wool, alpaca, silk, etc. Acrylic yarn is a no go in my opinion, but I guess someone might want it.
As a genealogist it breaks my heart that the relatives do not want their ancestors pictures. Since most of them are not labeled they might not know who they are. The scrapbooking with the newspaper clippings may be of interest to local buyers who are also genealogist or historians. I am glad you saved them from the trash.
Thank you! Very cool job that you have!
I agree with you and always wonder why doesn't the family want the pictures.
The family probably doesn't know the personal stuff and pictures are up there.
@@sherryfreeman5338 yes they did because I literally checked out with multiple family members who saw the items and one family member was up there with me at one point when I was going through the photos

I agree but not all families want the old photos. Some just have no attachment to them and just want to free up the space.
oh, i would have loved to get those little paintings of the old house kitchen scene. those looked amazing.
That's a wonderful vintage tablecloth you're using as a rag.
It also smelled horribly which you can’t detect through a video

What a great amount of treasures. This was an amazing learning experience for me and how I can enjoy going through estate sales more intently. Thank you.

Okay I finally got to watch definitely worth the wait! I would have gone for the photos too. Great finds. Maybe they would have thrown in the scrapbooks of newspaper clippings...leaving those behind made me sad LOL. Probably the hoarder in me but I kept thinking there might be a historical clipping in there. Anyway...fun dig! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad it was worth it lol. Someone else probably got those other scrapbooks. I have to leave something for others 😂
Hi Dom, That was fun. Wish there would have been jewelry but the photos are great. Always love to see Daisy. TFS ✌
Thanks Mary! Stay tuned for the next video for jewelry!
That was a wonderful treasure trove of old illustrated children's books! As someone who ince sold books online, and at one time had over 11,000 books, I would have been delighted to make that find. 🎉
Really enjoy your videos, and learn so much from them. Thanks for taking the time to educate us. My favorite tip today was the nails in the attic!😊
Thanks Kathleen! Yes, that tip can save a serious injury.
15:47 😳Ooh! I’m prob the only person who would’ve beelined to frantically empty that marlboro cardboard box. Yeah, for the box.😂
Seriously, you hit the jackpot that was so cool!
Edit: Again, got to the end and you mentioned grabbing the Mountain Dew box so… maybe it’s not just me? 😂😅
great finds! I also would have picked up the flour jar and the syrup jar with the red lid as I like vintage kitchen items. Like your attic strategy.
Thanks Polly!
Thanks again, Bearded Iris ! My favorite kind of Estate Sale
Thanks Paul! I agree! Nothing beats an attic treasure hunt!
Thanks for taking us along with you. I am learning!
Thanks Sharon!
Nice finds in that attic Dom! I loved the old photos
Thanks Rosemary! Those were a treat
As soon as you got to the attic I was hoping you would check those photos and ephemera! I would have had a field day in there! Amazing find. 3 of those photos will cover your costs and you have so many! Great gets!
Thanks Chris! I knew you’d love those photos!
So interesting. We have old photos mostly from my husband’s family. You have patience to go through the photos. Really liked the print of the little girl. The juicer was great. Daisy has quite a stash. Give her a double tap! 😀
The bearded iris 💪🏻love that. So I’m still watching - I’m at the part where you’re moving stuff over so you can sit and take your time & go through everything & I thought - gosh I visualize someone with allllll your accomplishments & status’s in life being fast and breezing through things (I mean you’re a busy man) you’re quite the opposite- you take your time, teach, enjoy & do everything with intention & purpose. Very cool! You treat people we’ll & appreciate all the things. That’s pretty rad.
Still watching but I thought gosh that’s such a cool gift you have. Thought I’d shout that out - you’re a cool dude, Primetime
The “small yarn” is called floss. I recently sold 2 different giant ziplocks for decent money with those 👍🏻 great pick up
Thanks so much. I really appreciate your positivity and understanding of what I’m doing. I always say there’s no need to rush to another room to hunt for treasures when there’s a pile of treasures right in front of you. 😃
@@Jessy.shops23 yep, embroidery 🧵 floss. Looking to do well with this lot 👍
Love the books and photos, but luve love Daisy, sending her hugsssss from Granma in England
Wow! Wow! Wow! $30.00! You did amazing! Really, really enjoyed this one! ❤️
Cool mailbox! I appreciate you mentioning me, you sure get into some neat old houses
Great to see you here and find lots of treasures 😊❤
Thanks
Oh my gosh, that was a great video. Thank you.
Thanks Robin!
Miss Daisy you have toys! I love how you wait for Mama to come home 🏡 ❤️
She is hilarious! Lol
A really interesting episode in the attic. Thanks for sharing!
Great video Dom!! Love the dedication of tackling that dusty old attic! Lol you da man!
Thanks brother. It was tough up there but fun!
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter lots of great pictures and ephemera there!💥💥
I'm brand new to your channel and enjoy it! I lived in Syracuse, NY as a child, so that makes it even more interesting to me😊
Oh wow that’s great! Welcome to the Prime Time family!
I recognized that sale! When I saw the box from Edwards, I knew this had to be Syracuse! Nice score here!
Thanks Cathy!
I see some solid-wood picture frames - those are the sort of things I would buy. I usually toss the picture if there is one. If you look online, the cost of a new 9' length of framing lumber is well over $100, which is about enough to make a 20" x 30" frame. That's why people buy old frames and resize them, particularly if they are oak, maple, or cherry.
Did you take The Clue of the Broken Locket - I see some sellers are asking $50 for early copies. It's $2000 with the original dust jacket, but that's nearly impossible to find.;
Good point on the framing lumber! Thanks. Did not get the book. That version is worth about $18 in decent condition but it had too much damage inside
MY NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Welcome to the Prime Time family!
Well, new subscriber here. Very interesting sale. There's nothing like it in my area. It's funny how it seemed like very few people had visited the attic but once you went up there the floodgates opened. I always hate that when it happens. It's a dream of mine to be able to enter a time capsule of an attic, untouched for decades, and take my time to go through everything one by one, finding all kinds of cool photos and whatnots. I'm addicted to old photographs. I just wish family members wrote names and dates on the back of their photos.
Aww Daisy 💛 I like your hair bow. My family had a Basset named Daisy.
Love the old photos. Did you check the stainless cookware beside where you found the mailbox? Some of the vintage stainless does very well. Thanks for great content.
Thanks! Did not grab the stainless but I have a lot of it already I need to list. Thanks for watching!
Great items! Great Price! Great Double Taps!
Lol thanks!
Fun watching and we love thr Daisy
@@marywright373 thanks for watching!
Did not really have a favorite item in what you bought but I love that green cabinet in your house!!
Thanks! We actually got that at an estate sale. :)
Great video!! So fun and exciting!! What a great sale!!!!
I have been to countless estate sales where the family doesn't want anything to do with military citations and decorations, personal awards, yearbooks, personal letters, and pictures. It is sad, but its their choice for reasons not explained.
100%. Better that I save them then they go into a dumpster
Love those digger sales they are the best. I am in Ga and sometimes we have different stuff here in the South. I wanted you to pick up that vintage angel candelabra in the attic on that old chest , and the powder jar ( I think that was the lid to it ) in the chest drawer😅. Do u find lots of vintage Christmas???
Great video as always❤
Thanks Hope!
Can't wait...this looks like it's going to be incredible!!! Way to build the suspense LOL 😆
Thanks Jen! This was a blast!
I like all the stuff that you found in your boxes and when I go out I find those things all the time I love it I don't have room for all of it I don't know how to sell it so I'm joining you maybe you can help me out I had fun being there with you
Thanks Tim! Easy to sell. Just do some comp searches on eBay for sold examples of something similar, see what is available currently for sale and price accordingly
Double tap Daisy and yourself...that was great content!!!
Thanks Sandy! Consider us double tapped! Lol
Antique glassware and toweling unused items are also a give and then the cotton you found is embroidery yarns.
Don’t understand the 1st part of your sentence and I know they are embroidery yarns. Thanks
I have never been to a sale of any kind where the items are boxed up and you dig for it- that it was incredible but it was surprising. Did the family have any idea what was up there? Also, if there were bonds, certificates, or money in any of those books, scrapbooks, or piles of papers and you bought them and didn’t discover the money until you got home, would you keep it as part of your purchase or return it?
The family had a general idea what was there and approved of all items at check out. I generally keep what I find and discover. Whether I would return a surprise find would depend on what it was and the amount. See my video called They Want it Back for an example.
Awesome video. It was great seeing u pickup those old black white photos. It’s cool seeing preserved history. I actually still own photos my grandmother left behind of the family.. also old black and white photos of the sisters of the filipino Nationalist Jose Rizal 🥰
Thanks Lara! I appreciate it!
The bag at this sale with the “small colored yarn”.is embroidery thread! Just so you know. Laurie
Yes thanks. I listed it as such in my ebay store. I am infamous for not always using the best descriptive words on the spot lol
Everyone else left... They weren't messing with the troll looking for his precious. LOL
21:33 I did some google lens work. I think that's a 1950 Mercury Coupe in the photo. Huge score man.
Good eye!!!
I get such a kick out of you! My father was in a band called Rusty Ruben Ranch boys in the thirties. If you ever find any photos or scrapbooks I would love to have them thank you for your expertise
Hi Dom! Loved the video!! I was there, too, & said Hello to you!! (I hope I didn't interrupt your video taking...I didn't even see your camera). Yes, we got there right on their start time, however the house was so full of people already we could barely walk through! I'd just arrived in a room when you walked in. I didn't see any jewelry at all there. I know you were on a mission to get some for Mrs. Prime Time. I did pick up some silverware; a few Syracuse China plates; a figurine there. Those photos you found in the attic are super nice!! I also liked the Vintage Juicer. I have a smaller version of that. Thanks so much for doing your videos! Great tips, & lots of fun to go through the sales with you through them!! Love your sense of humor!! Give Ms. Daisy a good belly rub for me! lol...I love how you are with her!! Cracks me up! Lol. All the best to you, Mrs. Prime Time, & your family, (which includes lil' Ms.Daisy of course). Off to hunt more treasures this morning...even though we got a bit hammered with snow, & sleet last night! Keep up your awesome works!! Regards, Joyce Stanton
Thanks Joyce! Great to see you there! Yeah the jewelry got wiped out. That attic saved me lol. Have fun treasure hunting! Daisy says hi!
More of these please ❤
Would love to lol
Hi Dominic, thank you for your videos. They’re really awesome I was just curious your last estate sale up in Syracuse. Did you happen to pick up the Mountain Dew box?
Lol thanks! I thought about it but passed. I have soooo many boxes lol
The pink chrocheted doll is to hide a back up toilet paper: the legs go in the roll and the skirt over the toilet paper. People had them in the back window of their cars , or nicely placed in the guest toilet room. Lovely pick:-)
Daisy with all the junk food plush lol
She needs a Dew plush
Hi prime time I was wondering if you can tell me about old photos if you know what numbers that are stamped on the back mean for example # 23 or D 86 or you can ask someone that knows , because I bought a lot of old photos too from an estate sale a few days ago . Thanks 😊
Hi Charles. Totally depends. Look up photo codes on Google for old photos and you will see many possibilities.
I would have got all those doilies for you can make a bedspread with sewing them onto a satin background. They sell them between 5 and 25 euro depending on the size and the tread used.
Great idea
favorite items were the Horatio Alger and Pollyanna books.
Oh cool! Thanks!
Those lace pieces are beautiful!! I just bought 2 lots of lace from Lockernuts; going to use some of it for a quilt. Fabulous old photos! Are there any relatives that would want any of the photos? (PS, please keep gloves and a mask with you for digging in attics and basements, dust, possible rodent droppings..)
They don’t want the photos. 3 family members were there and confirmed. Agree on mask and gloves. Was totally not expecting that attic at all so I had to improvise
I can imagine myself sitting on the floor going through the items as well. The price at the end was the biggest surprise. How long do you think you were in the house?
A few hours
And tonight we are reporting another truck has hit the railroad bridge”. 😅😅. Fun treasure hunting.
Another one hit it today! They need to elevate that thing!
Those book finds are awesome PT!
Thanks GG!
Those kitchen curtains you kept using to pick up dirty stuff that was in your way were very clean btw, and very cool! Vintage kitchen curtains are popular too. Go for pretty good money.
Lol it’s just so funny how many people can’t figure out that while the curtains may have looked clean that they were in a very unhygienic place and smelled horrible. No way I’m taking that home but you are more than welcome too.
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter Oh got it. Thank you for explaining that.
@@jeanneromaine3146 No probs
Those big hooks in the mailbox screw to the back and hang off the bottom for rolled up newspaper.
Surprised you didn't open the drawers in the "jewelry" room. And the green case on the dresser looks like and old school jewelry box.
Thanks. I do open the drawers but sometimes don’t film it if there is nothing inside
The old photos !❤❤❤❤
I never understood why a family wouldn't want old family photos. For someone who doesn't have any pictures of my family's history this saddens me.
Maybe u should rename ol' Daisy as Double Tap Daisy lol cuz I just can't resist leaving her a comment knowing she'll get some good lovin!❤🥳 She reminds me very much of my very 1st dog that I had for 17 yrs. We got her when I was one, she was a Poodle Terrier named Matilda (Tilda for short) and she was about Daisy size. Daisy is such a cutie and the ever loyal friend, what a gal. Daisy, I applaud ur loyalty to Mrs. PT and ur always appeasing Mr. PT even though he isn't the Mrs. u always give him a bit of time and love and that's a good gurl Daisy 😍🥰☺️❤🦴(when u read it to her can u do the "that's a good gurl" in a baby voice kinda deal?) Thx PT
P.S. these hidden treasure/gotta dig videos are my ALL TIME FAVS. I'm mostly a listener of TH-cam vids and not a watcher, but with these ones, I find myself glued to the screen unable to look away. U definitely have found ur niche with these vids and have the ability to really do them up great! Thanks again Dom, God Bless!
Thanks Tessa! Glad you like these kind of vids! They seem to be popular! I will read this to Daisy with an extra special baby voice and be sure to give extra double taps! Thanks for sharing about your 1st dog!
The Premier of the all new "The Bearded Iris" Resale Show. 😆
LOL. It's official
Loved the attic
Very fun
I love the little cream and sugar. Set
Thanks!
You passed up, what looks to be a vintage Chinese Checkers board (wooden?), to the left of the stairs as 7ou were heading down. Some people like to hang these on a wall ( think; kids rooms, game rooms, etc.). Don't miss these, if they are in good shape and cheap!
I passed it up because it was damaged. Also, I like to get things that are complete
Nice find👍🤓👍
Thanks!
I use acrylic paints to do touch-ups. Sometime they look good as new ( oh, I mean 'old').
This is so sad the family didn't go through the attic.
I would think they would have hired someone to sort everything and put out, so people wouldn't have to stay up in that molded, dusty attic.
I would also think there were many treasurers in that attic.
I love these videos but they do encourage me to get rid of stuff now 😅
That could be a job for someone!😀 I would love to do that. Pay me $20.00 hr to go through memorabilia. Maybe get some other gems from the house as well. First dibs.
I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying the channel. I wonder if you ever come across stashes of y knitting yarn. Just as I wrote this, you came across a yarn stash. Many don’t realize yarn can sell for quite a bit. Particularly natural fibers.look for wool, alpaca, silk, etc. Acrylic yarn is a no go in my opinion, but I guess someone might want it.
