- It's time to move some inventory in bulk! we take a pile of cool antiques into a local auction house. But we get hit by a snowstorm that could drive people away from the sale!
Will we make some cash? or will it be a bust?
see how we do!

I like the commentary on how much you think your items are worth before it goes to the auction block. It gives us as watchers a price to root for.
Definetly!
If anyone told me I would be watching an auction, I would have laughed my head off! Here I am!
😂 me too! AND be excited
The actioneer is awesome
I’m with u guys. Half asleep but I will watch this auction no matter how long it is.
I just told my husband...”this is better than a college education”. I love watching you.
I’m surprised some TV station hasn’t approached you by now. You are a natural! And you’re pretty cute too. 👍
Pat Leslie he said one did but it was not to his liking so he passed. It didn’t reflect his values. They wanted him to argue with another actor and be someone he is not.
KarenH41 was driving all your prices up
You must get such a buzz watching your stuff sell!! It was exciting watching and it's not even my stuff!!!
Just getting caught up binge watching these older videos. Really cool to see the kids go to the auctions and antique stores with Dad. I loved how Alex gave us the FYI's on the stuff while he was either bidding or watching what items of his were being bid
on.
I grew up going to auctions in Maine. I didn't realize just how much I missed it until your video. More please!!!
Thank you for letting us all join in the auction , I really enjoyed watching your lot's sell time after time . But give us a smile now and again 😁
Thanks Diane! I never realized I wasn’t smiling :) I guess I’m all business when I’m doing these things 😆 thanks so much for watching!
So much fun just watching especially when the kids join you. Blessings from California 💕❤️💕🌴👍
Thie is the best type of auction, one that has an online presense, thus an international or at least national bidding audience as well as the locals to keep the excitement up. My auctioneer says he gets roughly three times the money by having his auctions online rather than just local. Yes, it take more work and thus more people to pay, but it is worth it !!
Awesome video!! That auction house is amazing - great auctioneer!! Love to see what stuff sells for.
Vary exciting auction,you need to do more of them love ,the way you show the price you wanted,an also the price you payed made it more exciting
That was a exiting video, so fun to see how auctions works, and what can happen ;) Thanks for sharing ;)
lets be honest here...karenh41 is a huge fan of yours lol
Lol we said wow at the same time on the carousel. It was charming, not my cut of tea, but I could see a collection get bid crazed. Congrats
funny how we are all pulling for you to make some money, too cool
I appreciate it :)
Great job with the auction, really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you liked it!
My husband would love that tank!
Excellent videos Alex. Great singing too. Love the songs you wrote. I just found you and now you are my favorite channel, I'm hooked. Bernice.
Very good show...again! I admit, I am an idiot for not subscribing on earlier episodes.
Glad to have you with us Scott :)
I’ve never seen an auction- this was awesome
Thanks for sharing. I need to check out some auctions. So many cool vintage items!!!
Canadian winter must be ruff on business. Congrats on the sale.

alot more. keep up the good work and have fun doing it. Sincerely Michele Glander
Thanks for watching Michelle! We are gearing up for another sale next month too! :)
Try viewing the Hoarder house series. Just started and it is fascinating. This channel is a great one for any age to watch, no iffy stuff and good historical backgrounds when available. Have fun Michele.
Grace Slick bidding for oil cans. How fitting!
Ha! Perfect.
HA
Cool 73 Pontiac Grandville ambulance
This was a new experience for me. I have never seen a live and online auction before. How does he keep his eye on the bidders and online at the same time? He was very thorough getting as much as he could for each item. Thanks for this.
they have people whose job it is to watch the crowd and the online bids you ninny! LOL
realy cool effect with youre comment ...on the live auction ...it must be realy fun to watch this at home like you do
Great you got what you were after. Let's see what you buy with that. ✌
all your videos are extremely interesting, but i love the auction vids, congrats on the sale of some great items! thank you for sharing!
The 7up clock did very well
it went crazy! Thanks for watching:)
Wish we could see it lit up, looked in good shape.
Very nice payday! I’m glad you were able to exceed your asking price for items from your store. Now you have more room for more awesome finds! 😊👍🏻
That’s the idea :) always buying and always selling, fun and a bunch of work!
i love your videos...your love for what you do really comes through! And what a lovely family you have
So happy to hear someone else call match box cars dinky cars lol!
This is fun to watch and exciting
I really enjoy watching your stuff auctioned off and how much more profit you make in the auction then at your store. You have a larger audiance on the internet and all it takes is that , one buyer watching, that will pay that amount for a toy to take them back to their childhood! I am hooked! I love your channel! You have such a large variety of items! I am also trying to catch up on lot of your videos!
Thanks guys! We like to have a good mix so there is a little something for everyone :)
This was so cool! I have wanted to know for a while how auctions work. Thanks!
wow strangely thrilling to watch. I would love to see more live auctions like this with you guys watching it was nice to watch you select the items and then see how they sell :)
very Interesting!! glad you hit your goal!! I love your vids!
And thank u 4 saying so cas I could't lisyen to that. Ha!
I love auctions! Fun Thank You!
This is fascinating!
I love the history of defunct amusement parks and roller coasters and collect vintage park items such as tin toys and old park/rides memorabilia. The Chein toys go at high bids if they are in good condition with vibrant original paint color and still work. Some of these toys date back to the late 1930’s. I found a 1938/40 Chein tin roller coaster that is in great condition and was at an auction for $500. I was able to talk the seller down to $400. The toy needs a new belt for the lift hill. But the cars still can run through the course. I also found a Chein carousel and Ferris wheel that were not as in good condition as the coaster. I know many other fellow enthusiasts in the States who collect these type of toys as well. So, buying these items is a bit competitive as the demand is high. It’s fun to collect but you need to know the history of the item you’re bidding on and the current condition of what it’s really worth. Finding a 1930’s-1950’s Chein amusement toy ride in good to great condition is rare.
Since you can deal with a little bigger items... here's something to keep your eyes open for, Hammond A3 and especially B3 organs, or any Hammonds with the built in Leslie speakers it will have a Leslie mark on it if it does have one of those, but mostly you want the free standing Leslie speaker. Even in rough condition, they bring prices you would not believe. In great condition... just the speaker can bring 10K or more. The B3 in top shape without a built in Leslie is only about 4K tops. Any with the built in Leslie, 6K to 10k is the general range if working. Half that if not. On the Hammonds with the built in Leslies, don't be surprised if you get asked to part it out. Don't, unless they pay full price, once the Leslie is gone the rest isn't worth but scrap price.
There is also a Baldwin piano to look for, something about interlocking key mechanism, but I'm no authority on those. However I know someone that is... as a former concert pianist, she knows her stuff... she was moving and had to choose between her Baldwn and her Steinway, she chose the Baldwin just because it plays so much better. I wouldn't pass on a cheap Steinway either, tho. all comes down to what the price is. Even old no name upright pianos can be worth something to somebody even if it's only scrap price... they have a ton (not really that much, but you'll think so when you try to lift it) of brass in them. Many people scrap the brass and if the body is in good shape, turn the cases into bars, a literal piano bar lol. Basically try to never overlook anything, IF the price is right. I have to deal with what I can store and ship, so I generally don't buy larger items. I found a Hammond with the built in Leslie once, so rather than buying it myself, I called a friend that could deal with it and let him get the super good deal... ten bucks for the whole thing... the speaker alone brings a couple grand at least. He had the trailer and dollys and all to move it and a place to keep it while waiting for it's fate, dismantling or being resold as is.
By the way, in case you haven't noticed, I write books... but yeah literally, I have about 30 Epublished and some regular published.
I have come across several but haven’t brought any to the store yet. :)
I've seen several B3s in the last couple of years. The local music store had one with a 5K price tag on it with the separate cabinet. There's a guy about 60 miles south of me that restores Hammonds and currently has a 1971 B3 in the local Craigslist for $5500.
My dad was auctioneer from 1966 to 1986
Bravo young man 👍👍
YOU GUYS DID VERY WELL
I INJOYED THE SELL
THANK YOU MUCH RESPECT 🇺🇸
We were so happy! I’m seeing if the auction house will do a regular antique sale :) thanks so much for watching!
That is a good job you have there... It seems you enjoy the advanture of going through the old stuff, the horder house is a great level of adventure.. and a lot of hard work of course:), and even though these are def. no life necessities, somebody is always willing to pay the price or...go over.. :))
Great job of selling at the auction you really made your money on that one. Thanks for sharing
This was amazing to watch
You should shut down the store and just sell at the auction. lol It's hard to find auctions that sell stuff for that much or at least here in the U.S. I did clean out a house a few years ago for a lady that went to a nursing home. She had so much stuff that the auction did a special sell just for all the stuff she had. We did really well after fees from the auction we ended up make $74, 585. it was a lot of work but so worth it. She also had me sell her house for her. It was in rough shape very much like the one you are working on now plus it was in a bad area. I still managed to get $67,000 for it and she split the auction and the house with me 50/50 so it was worth all the time it took.
WoW--good 4 u.

Love the auction videos! Lol 😂 I'd spend all my money
Thanks, that was very educational too!
fabulous loved that xx
I would love more video's like this when you take items to auctions! This was very interesting, and educational, with suspense! I need to meet karen41.
Congratulations that was fun
Thanks Chas!
I LOVE the auction videos!!! I’d love to see more
Awesome finds & I LOVE❤️ your car!
Thanks Millie!
Congratulations! Very interesting.
I like this …..Fun to watch....
I enjoy watching your shows, I lived in Eastern North Dakota for about 55 years.
I had a 48 Packard woodie station sedan, bough tout of a Western Minnesota pasture about 1983, would love to buy the one you saw in the auto yard last summer/fall but impossible.....retired on Social Security in Northern Nevada so impossible.
BUT I also like old Fountain Pens and Pencils from about 1900 thru about 1965.
Got any Parkers, Wahls, Sheaffers, Moore, etc. I can't remember the name of the good Canadian fountain pen right now.
I might be about to afford a couple of them.
Thank you.
Lovey car isn’t it? We get fountain and pencils on occasion montblanc etc
Really interesting how you get a different audience, so different buyers. Fascinating.
That was surprisingly very exciting to watch!
Love your local auction videos thank you
There are except from porcelaine also toys "Made in OCCUPIED Japan" (also "OJ"). This was from 1945 after WWII until 25. April 1952. It is generally an insult to the country, like "Occupied Germany" ("OG"). The items produced then are very collectible for some so take a close look when you read "Japan". Of course certain items are always collectible like Japanese pottery which was hardly ever signed. These often colourless and rare shapes can reach prices with six numbers. They look very much like what you found in the hoarders house you bought. Maybe that lady owned unsigned presents of the masters where she also took lessons. Is around the time she lived (Her daughter had a page in the internet).
That was fun I never seen this before. Congrats!
My first time witnessing an auction, very cool!!
wow fun i would love to see more of these
Awesome, well done.
I just found your channel and try to watch as often as I can. I really like this one and hope you do more online auctions.
Congrats! That was fun to watch.
Great fun watching items like that! Congrats on the sales!
Thanks my friend!
Love the auction videos!
WOW, so cool to watch!
Not a bad days wages. Well done!
say, I don't know if you know about Smith Miller / Smitty's Toys /MIC (all the same company may have one or all the names on the underside of the trucks They might be worth Ebaying if you ever find any. Even well used ones bring 500 or more USD. They can bring in the 1200 range. Now you do have to watch... there are some being made yet today from old parts... those will have a serial number on them so you can tell them apart, but they still bring about as much as the others, since after all they were made as parts back in the day, just not assembled. Sometimes just the parts to them bring decent money... but then you get into the rarity and whether or not somebody needs the particular part. Anyway, keep your eyes open for that brand. I hope that one you sold wasn't one.
Love this channel wish I could binge watch the little things are huge to me shoveling for the wife well dress and behaved children the auction and treasures hunt your a blessed man and it's well deserved
This was so satisfying to watch
In hindsight, there are Speeder Clubs in Canada and the US, might have been a better place to advertise your railway Speeder.
Wow exciting!!! So can't wait to visit your store. Thought for a split second that table top arcade was an old Galaga arcade.
I love Galaga....it's my favorite.
That was fun great job 💙
As an oil can collector those Texaco cans got me excited can’t believe how strong the gas and oil market is
Fun video. Thanks.
I really enjoyed this. I haven been to only one auction...live, in-person. After winning something for more than I thought I had bid, and with someone after me bidding more (or so I thought),I'm a little afraid of auctions. Fortunately I only lost 10 dollars I hadn't planned on spending. It could have been worse. I like this format, though. The excitement of the live auction with the precision of real-time online bidding. I wish we had something like this near me.
That was really entertaining!
KarenH41 is getting all the toys!!
Awesome video! Great auction! Yay!!
that was fun to watch..thank you./
Congrats, buddy
Thats cool bet you wish you brought more to sell :)
Yah! :) I’m seeing if they are doing a sale next month too!
My husband worked for Massey Ferguson for over 30 years as a Credit Manager.
Looks like you did well.
SOLD!
Auctions can be so much fun! :) thanks for watching Angela :)
Wow! Well Done Alex!
Thanks George! When are you coming in for a visit? :)
Good job on the sales at the auction.
Thanks Michael
Thats a nice 7up clock but if they offset it at the 7 position, that would rock!
Love these auction videos Alex... very excited and informative! hope to see more in the future
It was fun to watch the auction. I'm a new subscriber and it's making me want to get out and go to some of the local trade days, etc. It's always fun to look for "treasures" New subscriber from Dallas, TX
VERY AWESOME THERE BUD
