I once bought over 200 lbs of jewelry from an older lady out in the country. It took weeks to sort through, but I’ve doubled my money on it and still have about 60% of it left. There were a lot of nice vintage pieces! Going through it was so fun! My husband and I would sit at our dining room table and go through 3-4 bags each night. I’d love to do it again!

Alex I have to say how much I appreciate you show. I just beat stage 4 tonsil cancer and you were right there with me during treatments, 37 radiation and 6 rounds of brutal chemo. I thought graduating Marine Corp boot camp was as hard as anything in life, it wasn't even close. I was to listen to something positive to bring up and keep everything positive. I just started at your first post on a loop to day. I even like your CORNY jokes. Lol I was afraid you would lose your way when you sold your store. You have proved me wrong brother. The new house couldn't be a better deal at the right time to miss all the nonsense coming. I know one thing your tax man is going to love you this year. I just wanted you to know, I see your charity, your honor, your talent is wonderful to watch you grow. You have found some amazing cars. You should keep the ones that touch you. I have a 1969 AMC AMX THAT I JUST build it from the ground up. Best of luck keep doing what your doing I'm so glad you had them fix your truck how cool is that? Very cool. Semper Fi brother.respect to you Neal

When my wife was in a nursing home I bought bags for jewelry from ebay and gave it to the home to use as prizes for the residents when they played games. The residents loved them.

The pink jewel with the skull and hat is a Mexican folk figure called "La Catrina" which is very popular and connected with the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead - All Soul's Day) - a big family ancestor worship day in Mexican culture and right after Halloween.

Back in 2020 I went to the auction of a jewelry hoarder a few counties over. Hoarder as in boxes to the ceiling in most rooms. It actually took 10 FULL AUCTIONS to empty the house, selling a big box or more at a time. It was WILD. I filled up the car several times over.

There’s soooo much of it. And such a mix of quality and value. Make sure Melissa looks at stuff, because, erm, how should I put this…she’s better at it than you are.

A Pickup truck full of jewelry is like a Dream Come True for me. Thanks for sharing!

As an artist who recycles old/broken jewelry into new things, this kind of find is a dream for me! You got an amazing deal for that much! Ebay boxes are going for really high prices these days.

Alex, the way you're hopping around those boxes you remind me of the time when a teacher put me in charge of 10 ADHD boys during a field trip. Pick a box and go with it ..... LOL! Cool find. Curiosity, INC could have a sale at a children's fair. Low prices make for happy little girls. Plus gleaning the good stuff for resale. Good Catch.

Looking through jewelry is always a very cool way to pass some time

I liked hearing that Abby and Melissa found a few pieces that they kept. That alone was very cool to me! I love the look on Melissa’s face when there is jewelry involved.

We really enjoy videos you make with your wife and your children. This was a good one. Thanks

Even at $1.00 each, that is quite a great profit!

You may want to keep a magnet with you going through jewelry. Silver and Gold are not magnetic. Just a way to separate the possible good stuff! Nice haul! 👏

I just traded a bunch of antique books for 4 totes of full of costume jewelry some high end costume. I think it was great trade. Roughly 5000 pieces.

Put the Boyd's Bear pin in the good box. People collect anything Boyd's. I have around 90 Boyd's pins, including the one you showed.

Wow! Make a big lot of the stuff you don't want and offer it for sale. Crafters love this stuff!

Ohhhh my dream find! I make new jewelry from antique jewelry. It's usually damaged so i give them renewed life. Wonderful fine!

Can’t wait to see your truckload! Be safe my friend

I needed something nice today. Thanks for posting both x

A little disappointed we didn't see more. Especially if you're selling by box. Would be nice to just get a glance at it.

The older Sarah Coventry Jewlery should fetch a decent price if it's there. Here's a little something I discovered if you have any post earrings without a match, take small pliers and gently bend the post into a loop. Instant buttons!

Good buy! Nice haul! Hey, that acrylic/Lucite ring with the embedded flowers might be a vintage Lucite ring. IF it is vintage it could be $20 or $30 usd. They were a thing in the 70's (1970's! 🤣). Thank you all for your efforts!

I don’t see that you took a risk. I flea market each week, and I see a couple interesting things already! Boyd’ssBears was located in Gettysburg, PA. I toured their huge shop there right before they closed. Loved that place.

This looks liked my table last week before I had my daughter and granddaughters over for a jewelry party. Of course I bought vintage jewelry boxes for them to fill.

I love this type of unboxing. From what I have seen most of this is just inexpensive newer jewelry. At 15:17 that looks more like a 1950's costume jewelry set. Also the butterfly pin at 16:32 is nice. You did fine. That is because you have A LOT of jewelry. Most of this I wouldn't sell for more than 50 cents to $3.00 each but the fact that you have so much of it will make it profitable. That being said, I haven't seen everything you had in those boxes but I can make an educated guess. I've been collecting costume jewelry for over 30 years. It seems to me that this person had been buying at resale/garage sale/charity shops so that they can resell it. I think it's a good idea you are selling most of this in lots. People like mystery lots of jewelry.

I would be in my glory with all that jewellery! The first thing I go to at any sale is the jewellery I take them apart and remake something else from several different ones. Wish I could be there to help you 🇨🇦🦩

I sure would have loved to go through that collection, thanks for giving us a glimpse of it 😄

Can't wait to see your haul!

Alex my darling, what a score. OMG, you can open up a jewelry boutique. You got it going. I myself love jewelry. Melissa and Abigale lucked out. You know I love you and your videos. Take care my love and stay safe 👍❤️🎈🍺🕊🕊😇🇺🇸🌹🙏🌞

Alexander Melissa could be the straight person and you could be Mr comedy LOL. I don't know where you come up with half the stuff that you say but it is certainly very amusing to me and entertaining. Love that you got all that jewelry yesterday we're going to try this that's what I like about you and Melissa you just dig right in and go for it! Best of luck selling it.

There is so much of this, that the box lots make sense, though even if most of these were to sell at $1 a piece or 3 for $2 or some such as I'd seen in flea market rummage boxes, it would bring in a nice profit. And, you never know what may be hidden inside those boxes.

Bummer. But, you just never know. I love your optimism Alex.

Some lovely pieces of vintage. I'll be watching for that auction. 🙂

A TRUCK LOAD of jewelry! Magic words to me. :-) It would have taken me a month of Sundays to go through it all. I'd have to look at every pc.. Looks like nice clean stuff.

I was left a jewelry estate 5 years ago with the instructions to keep what I want, share with my family and sell the rest. there were 13 PACKING Boxes Full. I am ALMOST done fulfilling her wish...to be remembered. It's been an adventure. I would have bought that lot.

Omg! That is a load of goodies I would have gone bonkers over! Great pick!

As a bead embroidery artist I reuse items like this for my newest creations. I buy the $20 quart jars, or bags and haven't bought any large beads in years.

Some jewelry I would make Xmas ornaments out of them. I know someone that makes wreaths out of them.

I think it's so cool when you buy something. How positive you stayed on making your money.

What fun!

Fun to watch. Love jewelry.Thanks.

Great project or recraft pieces. Watche parts for steam punk. Beads for restringing. Heck take a bunch and make Christmas tree shapes on backing board.

Wow! That looked like fun! That is the very thing on enjoy doing as well. Then trying to decide how to repurpose what's not wearable. I'm going to make jewelry art on canvas or boards. Looking forward to your auction of these boxes of goodies! Thank you to you and your lovely wife and daughter for sharing your time and videos with all of us! 🤗🤗

Alex, Enjoying your new adventures keep up the great work! 🥳🎆

Would be fun to see what the ladies chose to keep.

Pretty cool! I have tons of pieces to cannibalize and sort thru too!!! It's a fun way to pass the time 😁

Love watching the jewelry hauls.

Thanks For This Interesting Video, And I Love These Custom Jewelries.

Looks like it's been fun as well as a learning experience for Abigail!! It was definitely fun for us to watch how you were sorting through and will be interesting to hear how you do when auctioning it off!!!!

Wow thats alot of jewelry. Fun and interesting. Enjoyed.

Looks like bags of stuff you get from 2nd hand stores, hope you get your money back 😉

I love looking through old jewelry! Never know what you might find!!

Such a cute, and beautiful little doggie!

Abigail is growing up so quickly.

Interesting video...love all the jewellery...all the best at your auctions...best part is finding treasures for oneself, ie: Melissa & Abigail....fun times! 💕

I can just see Fox drooling watching this 🤣

I would absolutely pay $10 for that Darth Vader necklace

So much stuff! Glad you and Melissa don’t mind going through it. There are some cool pieces there though!

So fun and inspiring as always. No moss can grow on you because you're moving so fast.

Bins and boxes you say....DINGDINGDING. JACKPOT! The bone necklace Alexander thought "looks like bone"... because it is. (early 90s?) 11:31 Those lucite rings are hot every 10 years or so. I don't think that one's horribly old. The leather rose is almost certainly Canadian-made. 14:04 ID chain or dogtag chain, around here. 15:10 Czech brass and molded glass - 1920s probably. As Jean said, most isn't worth much on its own, but in those quantities you certainly won't lose on it.

That was actually a Christian missions pin. Where you have the dove of peace that is spread across the world.

People buy beads etc for jewelry making. Sort by color, cut broken necklaces apart to take them down to their components. Good job for the kids.

..........I can't believe the changes in Abigail (sp??) she's looking more and more like her mom every day. She's really growing up, Alex. I never noticed it much before.............but then I saw your son Jason after awhile and was amazed at how much HE'D grown as well, now much taller than his older brother Stephen. These growth spurts our kids go on are quite dramatic. :) The only sole in your household who looks pretty much the same is 'ol Chewy!! Steve

Thank for sharing ♥️

hi Alex. looking forward to this one.

Brilliant..we love 💕 you in the UK

Y'all's house is absolutely beautiful!

That eas a SCORE!!! Jewelry will always sell. Glad the ladies got a few things also. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us 😊 ☺️

Your house looks awesome with lights on in the background! 😍 So elegant!

I hope there are many treasures

Even if there was nothing of value in there it's looks like fun to go through!

The “ toilet chain” is called ball chain.

Watching from Port St. Lucie, Florida I really enjoy watching your videos and I have followed you for several years❤️

12:20 heavy is good. That looks to be real silver tarnish on that ring but plate tarnishes too. The fact that it is heavy means it could be sterling or coin silver. Be sure to check the marks. Also check the stones, although even if real diamonds they are small. Still a sterling ring with enough small diamonds could have value.

I'm not looking for gold or diamonds, Alex and Melissa. All I'm looking for is some simple but pretty beads, to make bracelets to sell for a few dollars to supplement my income. If you have some beads that you want to sell for kind of not too high a price, I would like to buy some and I would pay the shipping!! Oh by the way, your little dog is precious ❤

I like to put the costume jewelry in jewelry boxes when I send my stuff to Kastners. Usually pays for the initial purchase and maybe a profit after I cherry pick it for the good stuff.

Interesting costume jewelry,Alex.👍

Wow that was amazing hope you do great on the resale

Nice to see you nice to see your brother and Heather I’m so glad u had a good trip I

Well, you've got a venue to sell it, so worth buying and flipping! Good luck!

Hello, I just wanted to share, these jewelry auction lots are my weaknesses. I usually go to 2-3 live auctions a week and these things sell well. I had a piece of costume, thought it had jade beads on it, I actually contacted Christy's (well known auction house), and a wonderful lady told me no it wasn't jade. But that individual piece of costume was valued at $175. Seriously, true story. So don't short change yourself. Great video.

08:55 that's La Catrina, originally a cartoon mocking the indigenous people trying to pass as rich because they were ashamed of their culture, now it's an icon of my country's most beautiful celebration, the Day of the Dead.

That worked out great . 👍

I bought 250 pieces of jewelry for $250 years ago. My daughter and I sat on the floor for two days looking at each piece throughly. It truly was mostly vintage so there were many that I made a great profit on. I had a neckless on auction and surprisingly it got to $20. It wasn’t worth that at all! So I contacted her and took $10 off the price. I loved resale but now I’m old and can’t do it. I miss it.

Looks like she bought lots from Goodwill ! I saw so many things that are very like the items I have gotten from them ! You found some nice things ! It is always so fun to get those big lots ! Just ordered 2 big boxes of watches ! Like a fun treasure hunt every time ! Looks like you will do well with them ! Best part is finding a few treasures to keep ! 😁

I’m a jewelry expert- I seen some Art Deco in there and you didn’t even realize it was- LOL -

That sky behind you at the beginning was gorgeous! Melissa, you look so nice in that top. So pretty.

Fun! You should make a profit, no doubt. Thanks for the video.

Great buy! Lucite ring not plastic and it's collectable along with lucite purses 🙂

I love jewelry and have about that much myself! I feel sorry for my children! If I don't get it sorted and dispensed before I die! 🤣 I think it is so much fun to go through boxes of mixed jewelry but it has to be very special for me to buy any more! This video was fun to watch! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤

That was 😊 fun. ❤️🌹❤️

When I worked in a local charity shop we would bag up a load of the costume jewelry and sell it as , jewelry making kits , just an idea.

I Love your green truck, my Dad used to have a maroon colored one, same exact truck

The necklace with the key and charms is a Betsy Johnson. I have that one and many others of hers.

I love that little penguin!

Yay top 83 comments. Love this content. Best to you and your family. Happy Monday.

So interesting to watch and see all the treasures you find. Really nice to have met you and Melissa today! Debie from Walmart 😊

Just what Melissa loves!!

Would be interested in all the jewellery that has beads and rhinestones,crystals and cubic zirconias.
