That fish pump was foreshadowing for your current house 🤣
LOL
Thank you for the video! I wanted to go to a flea market store tomorrow, but I need to list and sell what I have. Your video gave me the shopping experience without having to go! Loved it!
Very nice haul discovered your channel a few months ago and I still continue viewing you videos. I hope you will make another Book Fair video loved that one!
Thank you!
Go the garage sale for all the "stuff" you cant put on ebay or marketplace. Loving watching the hoarders house journey you are on!
Well done on clearing your packing area Mel. Great motivational video. Listing the bundles first is a great idea so you can erect more shelves. One day at a time and no sourcing until things are clearer is the way to go. Good luck. Dont forget drink more water and breathe. xxxx
What a great haul. Was excited to watch you go through it all. These are the best you never know what you are going to get xxx
It’s surprising me so much. Every time I price comp something I think is rubbish I am finding it’s not! I can’t throw any of this stuff I don’t think without really looking at it’s value
the Arabia Finland candle holders are worth a fair bit and hard to find!! don't chuck those!!! You have some good stuff in there. I have a vintage shop on etsy.. I would be pleased with that lot!! The brass stuff sells well at this time of year.
Interesting Morry! I’ve been finding that as I bought stuff home to comp. Things I thought were cheap or rubbish are really surprising me with pricing. Because of that it’s made me realise I don’t think I can rule anything out in this haul. I’m going to make good money from it. I’ve comped a couple of boxes of books and they are also very high!
@@backfromburnout awesome! yeah, you never know what is going to be worth something. Like that gaudy plastic stacking mug set.. someone will love that. 20.04 is a single stem flower vase very popular in the 60s
Wow! Amazing haul for $200!! I just stared selling books, had to step away from selling clothes for awhile! I love your videos, keep them coming!!
Clothes are hard work, I only enjoy shorts and skirts I can flat lay. I'm quite enjoying doing some of this other stuff though. It's been nice to mix it up after doing books 100% for the last 18mths.
The Chinese tea pot and tea set are worth a bit! I sold a complete set with tray for,$100 + shipping. You can scan and translate the the stamp on the base. Great haul!
Wow!!! I thought it might be a cheap set but when I saw the teapot I thought it was a really pretty set. I’m excited to look it up as it had quite a lot of pieces to it.
Getting into the reselling world has made me realise my age 🤦🏻♀️. Hearing vintage of things I remember 🤣
I know! I’m a 1976 baby and when I write vintage on items that don’t feel vintage it’s a strange feeling!
@@backfromburnout I went to a museum in Brazil and they had cameras on display we used when I was young.
The orange stacking cups and mask.👍😊
You really should keep a fold up table in your storage locker it makes sorting 10 times quicker and saves the back . And when your finisher fold it up and put it back in the locker . That Bayonet was cool even if it was dangerous . You have a gold mine there of stuff and its interesting to see what you will pull out next .
I used to have the fold up tables in there but I have bought them all back to my shed at home and have been using them here. It would have made things easier for me - my knees were sore LOL
You got a lot of goodies in that haul. Have a great time researching
Thank you!
I love your faces you pull on the thumbnails 🤣
Thumbnails are so hard LOL
You have so much fun unpacking! Many of those items are worth good money and I hope you got it! Great haul!
If you scan the bar code while you are sorting it could help you determine what to discard. Even if it takes longer, that way you won’t be hauling a bunch of trash home.
I love videos like this, it makes me declutter my house even more!
Great haul Mel! I think the white handled silverware is a bolo...about $100. And love your new working shed. Your husband did a fantastic job. Much love from Colorado, U.S.A.♥️
Really!!! I thought that would be rubbish! Wow. I can’t rule anything out as rubbish in this haul!
Looks like you have some great finds in there. Enough for a whole new store!
I know! It’s going to keep me busy for a while! What a great buy getting all of it for $200!! And the books are also pricing high!
How exciting is goinf through stuff. Even as a kid id have taken this over toys... i blame my mum
your gonna have fun on facebook marketplace!
He may have been a hoarder, but he wasn't stupid. Makes me think he intended to resell or had a shop at one time. Hoarders don't usually use good boxes and label them like that. I think you are in for a surprise...this could be any of us who collect to resell.
And many people like classical music. Everything I see so far means money in your pocket.
His ex wife packed them I to boxes. He was moved to a retirement home. She said everyday he went to the charity shops and purchased things, bought them home and dumped them on the floor and then would take a nap! The majority of the haul is books. Apparently his floor was just covered in books! I’ve been noticing them and the books are well priced also!
Some interesting stuff there , Mel. Nick Hills would have a field day.
The hoarder was British and I’m finding a lot of it is British items (including the books). It’s going to teach me a lot as items I thought were cheap or rubbish are comping quite high!
What a big job ahead of you. Thanks for sharing
The video we’ve all been waiting for
Awesome haul Mel, lots of comping for u, which i think will be half the fun, look forward to the update !! Thanks for sharing
I’ve been working through it and the prices are surprising me! Some of what I thought was rubbish is certainly not!
9:31 - Ouuu! Pokemon marbles?! There are certain 1st edition ones that go for big big money. :) I am huge into Pokemon stuff right now. Jumped back into it after having been out of it for 20 years.
You got so much stuff for $200. This was an amazing deal hands down!
Yes there was quite a lot of the Pokémon marbles!
@@backfromburnout if you happen to have a bunch of Pokemon stuff aside from these marbles, I may be interested in buying it all off of you and paying the absurd shipping costs to Canada. Yes, this includes any and all books, cards, toys, plush, etc! 😊
Great video Mel! At 19minute the vase with the heart on it, is most likely Kosta Boda. Swedish brand
Wow! Loved watching you go through your haul Mel 💃
Villory and back yellow dish is worth money in U.S. Look up your knives also, some are worth over 100.00. Metal thing you said what the hell is that I think it goes on a drafting table? Maybe? Check your black platter it's tole work.
The quiche dish? Yes I priced it and was shocked! It is a really pretty flan dish.
A drafting table - I’ll look that up now for sure. Tole work. I’m not familiar but will do my research! Thank you!!
@@backfromburnout It was the black plate looking thing with the bright color's painted on it. 1970's it was the rage all the older housewives were into it. It could be home made type or not.
Sealed DVDs are a huge score!!! They sell fast and well
Horror DVDs are a score as well!! Most definitely allowed to sell them
There was 100 sealed DVD and they are not all the average run of the mill DVDs. I think I’ve sold four of the ones I’ve listed already!
What an eclectic mix of stuff. You have your hands full my friend. Good luck!
Lets go Mel ♥️ Almost 10k subscribers 👏
Yes Jeff!!! I’m so excited!!! So close now!
I have 4 boxes of those avocado dishes. I haven’t comp them yet, but funny to see you have a box.
Oh my goodness so many great books. Love finding a hoarder house. Lots of surprises, nice. You got such good stuff, nice and clean. So you are really starting to do so much other than just books again. Those games, oh my, they should do well for you. Holy Crow the glassware, pottery and Shells too, nice. I'm so envious of all you got, amazing!!! Marbles, awesome score!!! Beano, never heard of it. Old corkscrew collection, sweet. I have a curling iron for hair with that kind of plug. M&M, awesome. Those knives will do very well. I have to say, this was a great deal.
Oh I love this kind of stuff. The glass that you said was “handmade” maybe Whitefriars from England. But only quick glance at that. Royal Copenhagen can go really well. Beano comics were printed local to me in Scotland - prob not worth s as lot but you never know. You will do well!
great video mel
hope you find some hidden gems in there
I sure am! The stuff is pricing well!
@@backfromburnout it’s always nice to learn about new things to sell will expand what you look out for when sourcing
Mmmm interested in the glass women figure and lamp, but wow all the toys o.o
So many interesting things to find! It's going to keep me busy!
WOWZA!! Some wonderful and valuable finds there, congratulations. You will be busy for a LONGGGGGG time :-)
This is exactly the gear I love to sell. Great haul
It really is! It's selling and I'm learning heaps!!
Those orange stackable plastic cups with the characters on them definitely look 70s. Also I think those string marionettes could be made by UK company Pelham and are most likely from the 70s. Lots of junk but as you know it only takes a few choice pieces of treasure to make it worthwhile 👍
wow there's some cool stuff in there!!!
Wow 🤩. That was certainly worth the effort!! A lot of 1980s wedding presents 👰
That was so interesting. I can't wait for the next episode. It looks like you've done really well.
You scored quite a good bit off this haul, congrats!
The framed print is of San Francisco, California trolley car heading towards Alcatraz Island
Royal Copenhagen sells for a fortune here in Germany !!
Wow. Some amazing stuff. Would love to but a lot like this and go through all the boxes
Nice there are CD rarities across all genres, some classical music CD's goes for over a hundred.... just whether you have the time to individually comp them all...
Interesting. I have bundled some and still have a tub here to look at and comp but his collection is proving quite profitable so I think they would be worth pricing. Interesting some classical CD and sell for so much, I am learning so much from this haul.
Goldmine but a lot of work to research & price. Looks worth it though. That pointy lot looked like a bar set. I love hearing vintage on stuff I recognise from childhood then I think back & go, hell that is 50 years ago. 🤣
All the vintage games any stuff as call so old lollipop people really want
A lot of those glass and ceramics things are from Sweden and Finland.
I love your thumbnails and how you pronounce store units
Oh thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
You're in the house clearance game now. It will all sell, you'd be surprised.
I know, what’s happened to me! LOL my shed is full of this weird stuff ha ha ha. But, I’m learning a lot and quite enjoying doing something different. He has a very eclectic mix of stuff here!
@@backfromburnout looks like he had a decent eye and at least he was a clean hoarder! Google lens will be your friend. Good find enjoy 😀
Wow! Looks like you did alright there! Loads of vintage stuff, fly fishing reel, solid brass candlestick holders, Villeroy & Boch flan dish, collection of vintage cork screws. Some of those really old swirl coloured marbles can fetch good money too! So much to sort through and comping, keep you busy for awhile lol. Great video, enjoyed it.
So many interesting things!
Hi Mel. Those Pokémon marbles are worth a bit.
Some really good profit coming up and for some items I’m as clueless as you are 😂😂 I’m jealous but nice hall Mel 👏
Yup welcome to buying abandon storage units only you don't have to deal with all the mouse poop. You have lots of good stuff in there. Great score hope you make a good amount on this.
Thanks so much! Yes, no mouse poop as the ex wife packed it all up so that was a bonus!
What a haul, it’s like Christmas or a treasure hunt. Will be a nice for you to do something different to books. Where are you going to store it all Mel haha
Tall pitcher is a cocktail pitcher and mixer
The tall skinny pitcher with the long stir stick could be vintage(50's-60's?). I believe it would have been used for mixing martinis or some such beverage. Very cool piece.
Hi Mel! Really interesting video. Quite an eclectic collection. Seems no real theme that's obvious on a first look. Still think there is good stuff there. The marbles could be worth a lot. No doubt some of the games and toys will have value. Some of the glass/ceramic bits may have value too. You'll need to research to get maximum return. I have a feeling you will make far more than you paid once the stuff sells. Great haul! Looking forward to the next video. 😃
Great score
It really was. I think I have found some really interesting pieces here
one of the storage unit guys i follow has a huge yardsale where they price everything for $1
That would be a great idea I will think about that!
that was amazing
Gah! I just finished my hoarder house haul last weekend, and it took THREE MONTHS to get it all listed! Part of me says “never again”, but part of me knows I will because of how lucrative it was for me…..just meant my entire dining room was full of randomness for a while.😐
I feel the same! I’m bringing a few boxes at a time home every couple of days and trying to get it all listed. Then bringing more back. That way I won’t get too overwhelmed. Everything is pricing high though so I can’t rule anything out!
I think u need to use one of those camera rigs that can be attached on ur shoulder/head just to make unboxing all of those stuff with a camera on much easier 🙈 cause damn, thats alot!
Wow!!!! I’m not even 3 minutes in and I’m already amazed. I bet the ex wife was so overwhelmed. All of these games I’m seeing scream “Christmas time”!!! What a great time to buy this haul.
Also, you said my year of birth and then said vintage right after it 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll have to let my husband know he has a vintage commodity. 🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha I’m vintage also, the Dick Bruna boxes said 1976 and I was thinly geez they are so old and then I remembered that’s my year of birth ha ha
Yes and those games a lot were sealed still! Almost all of them that are open have all the pieces still also.
The shell shaped dishes are worth money. Look them up.
15:04 is a plug for a shaving outlet toothbrush chargers have the same outlet (well in the UK anyways)
17:03 a cigar band collection
the knife at 18:53 the handle looked like it was from the 'Global' brand if so they are about £100 each new! well worth keeping if it is!
I wondered if it was a UK outlet since the hoarder was British. I guess if it’s retro I could put it on international post and someone might love that old light!
Cigar band collection. Wow I would never have known. That you. And I’ll definitely look that dagger/knife up and let you know! So interesting, I’ve learnt a lot already from this unique haul and already making sales from listings
@@backfromburnout Looks like it's for a standard European outlet (not just shaving outlet) to me :)
That scrapbook looks like it's full of cigar bands. It may be worth something.
Someone else said that, interesting collection!
Bundle the cds in genres, auction is also an option, metal and rock goes well in bundles on ebay
I have started bundling and listing them and already sold 1 bundle of German music :)
@@backfromburnout nice one!
15:45 Is it a letter opener or is it something to "kill, kill, kill" ... :) Great pickup but now the question - when you list these non-book items, how & where are you going to store it all especially the valuable items which might be slower movers??
I’ll show you in the next video how I’m going about it all. Hoping to film it today after some appointments this morning.
Some good board games in there, please do some research and look at comps and sold comps, don't throw away stuff without looking
Yes, I have bought back some stuff and been working on it box by box and I’ve been so surprised with how much things are pricing at! I realised quite early into price comping I would need to thoroughly check everything before ruling it out. His books are pricing high also, some very rare and interesting books! I’m going to learn heaps from this collection and make a lot of money!
@@backfromburnout thank you! I was like no dont throw anything out 😂😂
Olympic 1994 mug goes ok
M and m stuff great
Simpson stuff great too
Some wonderful vintage items. Take your time to research and you’ll do well on eBay I reckon
I'm a little jealous.
It was a great haul
So many things! NOW is the time to list those horror DVDs. Maybe in lots but I'd get those listed 1st as before Halloween they'll sell like mad! Fly fishing reel, beautiful glass pieces. And those stacking mugs, very cool. Some games do very well so you may have a lot of super things there!
What a trove you have! It looks like someone's death pile. lol I keep thinking maybe this guy had aspirations of being a reseller but could never get past the shopping highs to get to the work of listing.
Congratulations on becoming a general store! lol
Ha ha ha, it seem that way again! Back to my roots lol
I thought you would have listed all of this stuff already?! What have you been doing? 😅 I think those M&M’s things can sell well, I seem to remember someone saying that before. I think it’s safe to say that your money is safe anyway, great work Mel!
I'm listing as fast as I can go lol I've listed 335 items so far this week which I'm please about :)
@@backfromburnout Wow! That’s awesome!! You really will be through it all in no time.
The big glass pitcher with the spoon looking drink looks like a Bloody Mary pitcher you make them in that and then pour as you drink 😂 so much of that is worth money you may be able to lot the cork screws together and get 30-40 plus post see if any of the knives are cutco they go really well here in the USA and the retro light the plug looks to be from the uk region Garfield goes pretty well here in the USA too Vintage and unusual games go well here to you can always check them out and if you don’t want to list them yes sell them in your yard sale
You know you're old when you hear Mel referring to 1990's items as vintage. :(
Ha ha. But it’s true! 20 years and they are classed as vintage lol. I’m a 1976 baby so I’m feeling old also ha ga
The lamp will work in Norway and Sweden :)
Oh wow!!
Think you need to fly nic hills over to help you.
Was the knife Cutco brand? I know they are very sought after
I’m not sure what brand it is I’ll have to look as I still have it!
I am trying to look for the link to your ebay store. Interested in a couple of things you have found and want to see you have them listed.
I'm interested too :)
Vintage lunchbox might be worth something 🤔
Look up undercover arbitrage, he may be interested in your corkscrews
They sold!
Wow you got mega $$$$$$$$$$$$$ in those boxes alone without all the others! You may just have gotten yourself that elusive “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow!! 🌈
10:58 - this is a vintage fly fishing reel.
I think I recall you saying you paid for all this inventory... you do know that house cleanouts are a legitimate service that people offer and charge for? I feel like for the work involved they should have paid you rather then the other way around.
Yes I paid $200. Originally I was only buying the books but the charity shops were closed with lockdown so she asked if I wanted to take the extra boxes of house stuff and games also. Thankfully I took them as they are proving very profitable. :) this haul was certainly worth the time and effort in picking it up.
one of the issues with these hauls is if you find one piece of something valuable you have to wait until you get through the whole thing to know if there are companion pieces and those one piece gotta match items grow into a whole bunch of stuff. Im just not very good at organizing but I think that is one of your strong points. Its just a pain in the ass to find the other matching piece. Careful with the horror dvd's some can bring good money. Music CD.s: best rule of thumb is movie soundtracks, rock and rap. If it is an early album or a band that had someone before they were famous can be very big money. drawer, cabinet, door hardware can bring good money. seems like you have a good handle on the other stuff.
Google Lens is your friend.
DVDs are worth more money when they are sealed. DVDs still sell on eBay! You can sell R+ movies if they are horror, action, comedy. Just stay away from adult titles 😉
I have already sold about 6 of the sealed DVD's! So they are selling fast for decent money so I am listing like a crazy woman lol
@@backfromburnout good on you!! See it was worth it despite some of the weird items you found 🔪 lol
Its going to take time but you're on a real winner. Good on you, you work hard you deserve everything you get.
Mary Kate and Ashley doll if sealed goes for about 50-60
Yes I think I listed her for $59 with offers. Fingers crossed!
You need an assistant! 😁
I do LOL
I know this is over a year old and long gone but that's beside the point which is the same. and that is this, I would have been willing pay 5 x's what you did for that awesome inventory. I see nothing but $$$ signs there.
It’s made me a lot of money!!!
Orrefors is Swedish. Might be crystal.
I hope so!
I think overall, you're going to make some nice profit from that lot.
