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.
I’ve been watching you for years! I thoroughly enjoy how you dive into a hoarder house. And how in the heck do you get it done so fast? You’re such a generous man, your family is lovely. Will be watching as long as you record.
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.
Rough Adidas Shoes: those were the Stan Smith model. I wore out several pairs in the 1980s playing racquetball several times a week. They were the preferred brand. 😉
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.
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!
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 TH-cam. Cheers from one of those people who wears those old clothes 😅
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.
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.
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.😊
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.
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'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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 😊😊😊😊😊
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!
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)
I must add this: At 37:28 after your "I'll Wok-away" joke, and the Just Do Me sweatshirt. There is a blue denim shirt I have on right now from the 70's at 14:05 CT, St. Louis, Missouri! Wow! Again, at 46:46 you called the butt of an M-16, a Tommy Gun. Being a small arms expert from the USAF, I wanted to correct you before someone negatively responding to it. Funny thing about the M-16, the outer cast was plastic like a toy gun, so it was affectionately called a Mattel 16. Since you liked toys you could try to find one still complete, but most of them jammed during heavy firefights. I was just young enough not to have to go. My father was an Officer and a Rocket scientist in the USAF from 1957 to 1980. He didn't create Agent Orange, but we knew where he lived. Sorry for that downer moment, just sharing.
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.
This was super fun and interesting. I adore the clothes pulled out last, the beautiful dresses and in super cool dry cleaning bags.. hopefully they will stay with the outfit. The son sounds so nice, good luck to him and his family in clearing out the rest. Cheers from Ontario
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi Alex. Great video here. Enjoyed looking at all that old stuff with you. I'm sure you would have found more treasures if you could have found more time. Thanks for sharing with us.
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 man was so helpful and I loved the banter between the 2 of you . Can't wait to see everything you can find . Interesting shirts for sure . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

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
that fella sounded like a truly lovely person....how cool is this?
Vuarnet Shirt at 38:31- those were SOOOOO popular late 80's early 90's! I would have definitely scooped that one up. :)
What a time capsule house!!! Found myself often shouting,"Hey I had that!"!!!!❤❤❤
I’ve been watching you for years! I thoroughly enjoy how you dive into a hoarder house. And how in the heck do you get it done so fast? You’re such a generous man, your family is lovely. Will be watching as long as you record.

Honestly I think I mostly watch this channel because Alex and his family are so lovable 💖 merry Christmas 🌲
I like how you are advising him what to look out for.
Rough Adidas Shoes: those were the Stan Smith model. I wore out several pairs in the 1980s playing racquetball several times a week. They were the preferred brand. 😉
Canadians friendliness with one another, enjoyable and inspiring.
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
Wow! It’s amazing to see how well Alex knows his stuff and can stroll around and spot all the goodies at a glance!
The wallpaper is from the 60s and was called flocked wallpaper. My parents had very similar in their master bedroom.
Nice to see you enthusiastic again, it seems a while since you were that animated. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
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.
So much dust! I'm glad you wore a mask😷
I enjoy all your videos but love when you get to go to a home where the folks have great vintage stuff
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 TH-cam. Cheers from one of those people who wears those old clothes 😅
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.
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.
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
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.
Single stitch t-shirts always do well. Love treasure hunts.
omg Woolco! this is a stroll thru the memories, the blue suitcases too!!

That MCM clock and matching sconces ❤ I hope you bought those
It was fun that the fellow was so cheerful and chatty with you. Cool stuff
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
The blue glass in the door between the kitchen and the next room! Love it!
That 'Phantom of the Paradise' record! Paul Williams. Wow!
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.😊

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...
The clothes were a great find. Here's hoping the Suzuki runs too. I enjoyed this Alexander. Thank you
Wow, jackpot 60’s and 70’s time capsule….AGAIN,😮 ❤
Dude has so much valuable stuff
Really enjoyed this video. I have missed your "picking" excursions.
Always interesting!!! The fellow is so friendly too! His voice at first reminded me of Austin from the Potter's House 😊
Great walk down memory lane! The Vaurnet t-shirt! Vaurnets were THE sunglasses of the 80s! Red and mirrored. 😅
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 can't believe you passed on the marbles! I would have picked them up.
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
I love how Alex is educating this seller. No gatekeeping. No slick Rick moves. It’s just refreshing that Alex is sharing his knowledge.
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.
Greatly video Alex. Love the vintage clothes. Makes me want to go back and watch your hoarder house series again!
The colors on the vintage clothing are beautiful 😊
Stay cool in this heat Alex. Great video my friend!!
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 video Alexander! I loved it right at the beginning how your jacket matched the little camper like you wore it just for the video.
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
Nice to have another o n e of these search and rescue vlogs! Thanx Alex! ❤ XXX
Gosh i have missed this type of video, great to see you back. Your sense of humour and banter with the householder.
vinyl flocked wallpaper!
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

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.
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 😊😊😊😊😊
My BFF in high school was our valedictorian. Her parents bought her a new 1973 Nova for graduation.
My first car was a Chevy nova ❤
Mine too. A '74 Chevy Nova hatch back 350. I loved it!
Interesting finds! I had the same “ants in the pants” game when i was a kid.
Really enjoyed this video, thanks for taking us along😊
Very nice, thanks for taking on your hunt for treasures ❤❤
How good was it to have a family with you going through everything and be able to give you the history and not guessing the history.
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!
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)
I used to own a 1978 Chevy Nova, and it looks almost the same as that one. I wish I could get another one again.
Playdoh dentist?? Cool! I've never seen that one. The vintage clothing was amazing.
That house was awesome! So many cool vintage finds.
I must add this: At 37:28 after your "I'll Wok-away" joke, and the Just Do Me sweatshirt. There is a blue denim shirt I have on right now from the 70's at 14:05 CT, St. Louis, Missouri! Wow!

Oh those ladies' coats and dresses at the end; love them!
A lot of things and apparently a very nice gentleman giving you the tour! ❤
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. 😍
Vintage bedding and fabric can have value. Especially the unopened
Those wringer washers are sought after. That’s worth getting. Those old washers clean your clothes better than the ones they have today.
This was super fun and interesting. I adore the clothes pulled out last, the beautiful dresses and in super cool dry cleaning bags.. hopefully they will stay with the outfit. The son sounds so nice, good luck to him and his family in clearing out the rest. Cheers from Ontario
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.
Loved Streetheart! Everybody that ever met him says Kenny Shields was a great guy.
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.
Hi Alex. It’s always fun looking in houses with old stuff. Enjoy and hope you find some good things❤️👍
Thanks Alex , that was a lot of fun.
Thanks, this was just like old times.
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.
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 😂
I would be getting all those vintage blankets and bedding .. I would be bringing home so much stuff from this house !
Huge score on the concert t-shirts
That was fabulous. Very interesting. The family member was very friendly and helpful.
This guy seems like someone you will keep in touch with, very much the same as you by my ear.
I thought so too.
Astounding!
Love you from Florida. Stay safe we love you
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.
Thank you for the video 🙏
Hi Alex. Great video here. Enjoyed looking at all that old stuff with you. I'm sure you would have found more treasures if you could have found more time. Thanks for sharing with us.
Loved all the vintage rock t-shirts! Very cool find!
I was waiting for you to find the fisher price dragon to the castle 😅 love the band 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 man was so helpful and I loved the banter between the 2 of you . Can't wait to see everything you can find . Interesting shirts for sure . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Wow that was a lot of stuff.
Great episode!
15:50 have the same blue set of Skyliner suitcases
Quite the trip down memory lane saw many familiar things
Thanks Guys
awesome banter 😂❤❤
