As someone who just got burnt from an estate sale company for having a "pre" sale the day before the official day I can honestly say I will never go to any estate sale ran by companies that do that. I drove for an hour and waited 2 hours to be the first in line just to find out the items I wanted were all sold the previous day. Nope, won't waste my time on them.

You should bring a large plastic bin that says sold on it, so when you want to make a pile, it’s not where people walk and so people know you want it and don’t start digging through your items. Then you have an easy way to take things to your vehicle

Matt, you make everyone you encounter feel good with your politeness and concern.

I use to run estate sales. You were so lucky to be the first. I'm in my 80's love to watch your videos and Kayla videos. I also had a shop. Would go to all the places you go. I can't do anymore but I love to shop with you. 😊😊

I always suspected many estate sale companies doing this. This is why I stopped going to them. I would make a list based on the pictures provided to find out that they were all gone even though I was one of the first ones there.

Tbh the what you paid vs what you expect is one of the best parts of watching videos like this taking that element out sort of ruins it, for all we know you made $100 or $10000 I understand keeping negotiations private or even final pricing but at least ballpark pricing make the video better imo.

Wtf u mean we aint gonna know the price? Thats the whole point we all watch. What was the point in this video then?

This is gotta be one of the most luxurious estate sales out there

I'm okay with this as long as none of these items are shown in the estate sale advertisements. Because, it would be very bad "IF" people are first in line to buy items that have been sold. With that said, this is another great video and I would love to have that opportunity.

Matt, you’re very gentle with others’ belongings. Nice to see you don’t rifle through with reckless abandon.

Everyone is so upset but familys go through things before they have a estate sale. Im sure that was a family friend. More power to you Matt. I love those high quality sales.

What is the point of this video if you don't tell how much you pay??I just watch the video just to see how much you pay.....lol

"It's not like I paid pennies on the dollar, I paid estate sale prices"... then what is the point of not showing the prices you paid? And even if you actually did pay "estate sale prices" and decided for some unknown reason not to show it, the issue is still that the estate sale company let someone come in and pick many of the top items first...

Happy for you! Wish it was me lol However this is why I dont go to sales by companies that presell 😢

This is an interesting dynamic! If his company is transparent that they do pre-sales everything is cool. A lot of companies arent transparent about it and its pretty disillusioning because you can be waiting hours before a sale opens only to learn it was already(secretly) picked over beforehand.

I've watched MOSTLY ALL OF THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS YARD SALES PICKERS GARAGE SALE FLIPPERS ETC WHAT'S REALLY NICE ABOUT THIS GUY IS HES NEVER TRYING TO BE FUNNY OR EMBARRASSE ANYONE HES JUST POLITE STAYS PROFESSIONAL, BUSINESS ETC ,😅

No pricing? That's the best part!

I'll stop going to this estate seller. I dont think it's fair to other sellers to pre sale. When they say on there ad no sale before the event. Last time I went I spent a few hundred. I think this is bad business. This is my opinion

Watched the whole video and we dont get prices at the end? With throwing a shout out to his store at the end must have been a good promotion deal.

Yes, you came across some of the finer collections definitely ... The jacket and belts of those had such beautiful intricique (spelling bad lol) work on them... They had taste for sure. Yes, having those connections with Mike the auction man is great.... Mike's crew did a fabulous job setting up, very organized sale... was very classy.

I didn't realize what the part time pickers look like til Subscribed! He's a Cutie, Respectfully.

Sooo many things I wondered about like figurines and pottery and sooo much more! I hope that you make great profits on your picks!

Estate Sales are often my favorite source. Good value for desirable items. Being selective on the area of the property, items are typically well cared for and some excellent vintage finds. This was indeed a fabulous niche for you.

That was quite the Estate Sale. The dude who owned everything was quite influential and had MONEY!

Definitely feeling for the family here due to prices not being shown. I would like to think they were in the k know on this. Otherwise not a good look all the way around at all! This video may be one that does more damage than good all the way around... curious if we ever see videos like this one again. Overall though have to assume good intentions here and great haul!!

Those belts were fabulous…some of those buckle prices were amazing! I have never been to an Estate Sale. It was a very nice thing for your friend to do for you! I love all your videos💜!

Love your videos Matt. This was an amazing estate sale. You're going to make a lot of money on this one.

Love the channel and don’t usually comment but I agree with the other comments as a reseller i see why you would go early and get your hands on as much as possible but for the company it’s just not right. I get they need to make money for the family but everything will sell when the sale actually starts. People will drive far away and get in line early to be first and all that is for nothing if it’s already picked over.

The horse racing stuff in there! 😳Also those horse statues, and the trophies?!! What the heck! I would have gone crazy in there! lol

The "quilt lady" is so me. I love quilts, or anything handmade (needle point pictures), but have zero patience.

The estate had a lot of beautiful things, I was drooling over all the horse racing memorabilia, wow at every turn!

there was a vitamix sitting on that table next to where you were talking about the quilts! sweet finds !

Thanks for sharing!!! Loved it all!!!

Mouth dropping estate sale!! So many cool things. Hope you make a bundle. As you were picking up items I thought “I hope you brought $10,000 with you!! This is going to cost you”.

Good for you on the score, but why would anyone want to hire that dude to sell their loved one's estate if he's just going to let his friends come in early and pick the most valuable stuff? He should be focused on maximizing the return for his clients, which cannot be achieved by giving early access to resellers. People who want those things for their own personal use are going to be willing to pay a lot more for them than you are.

That was cool to see! I like learning about new collectible names like Lladro figurines. Fun, thanks.

Boo favorite part is the profit break down

Watch all your videos!! This one had 😮me gasping for breath!! 😊 beautiful things! By far, the vintage leather carrying case!! Awesome pick!! I know you will do really well with all of the items you chose!!! Keep picking and we will keep watching!! From Texas

Keep an eye out for that kind of globe that was on the silver stand. The globe is made of semi-precious stone. Usually worth some decent money, kind of a pain to ship though.

So fun! Good for you!

Matt, this might not be a good thing as if people in this area see your videos of the sale see it, probably would not go if they knew it was picked before the sale was supposed to start. Good idea to do it but, better idea would be not to broadcast it , if you know what I mean! Would hurt his crowd at the sales . We have dealers here that do this and I will not go to their sales! Just my opinion, up to you what you do with it. Been on eBay for 26 years.

Those Binoculars thooooooough!!!!! Gr8 video man!!!!

Wow, great items. Good finds.

Close by, will have to check it out. Really have enjoyed watching you shopping. Kayla too!

I thought he looked familiar 😀 - I only source from Estate Sales and the ones I go to normally are Modesto, Turlock, Oakdale and surrounding areas. They are one of the more pricey estate sales around here - maybe that is why he is doing more your direction. Around here we also have a few others that will give REALLY good bulk deals BUT they don't do before sales to anyone - they stick with first come, first serve, so if you see it in the pictures, you see it at the sale too. Not saying anything bad about any of this - just other estate sales run differently - that many people are really use to around here . I am really glad he is finding places that take his prices better - it is great for his family he is selling for and I love his shop 😀 Estate sale and their people are the best - I personally think 😀 - I have 4 different companies around here that we will start standing in line at 4am because the deals are so good and they are such great people. We have made personal friends with many of them. Maybe I will see you around town 😀

It was so fun to live vicariously through you for that estate sale. Thanks for taking us along!

I totally thought of Next Friday when I saw the house. It’s Uncle Elroy’s house! Lol

My oh my what amazing belts and buckles nice finds

Love finding binoculars, lots of people sleep on binoculars and some can be big money

I LOVED THOSE BRASS CATS 🐈 🐈‍⬛!!!!

Nice haul. Being a reseller myself you build a lot of relationships with people that you buy from regularly. I do have items held for me at the flea market and thrift stores. Yes some people do get better pricing than others. Being kind, polite and fair goes a long way. Every person along the way is just trying to earn a living.

I love the tub!!

Loved the glass roses 😍

I enjoy his calm nature.

What an Amazing opportunity!! You were in the middle of some spectacular stuff. Some of the EBay pricing was just staggering!! Good on you. Thanks for taking us along!

I loved the stuff in there. Sooo nice 😊

I love your videos better than any other person

Jerry Dutton was big name in Thoroughbred race horsing in CA. He had some really nice quality items!

Wow! Oh my gosh you have got some good stuff!

Awesome finds good job😊

Great video!!!!❤❤❤❤

Wow that was amazing. I was really surprised not to see any boots since she was into horses. Those belts were fantastic. There was just so much there you must have gone into overload. Thank you so much for taking us along and sharing this great adventure. 🥰

Awesome Matt!! If it could happen to me … 🤔

love your show man

Great finds you have there. If I was there I should have taking the photo with the autograph of Bruce Willis. It was also in the place where you took the photo of bush. I am a big fan of Bruce Saw him in 1996 in Amsterdam when planet Hollywood has his grand opening. Unfortunately he doesn’t sign anything

That was like a pickers wet dream congratulations

You passed by amazing ceramic and vases🥰

WOW mind-blowing!

Just wow Matt! Congrats buddy! Killer pick!!!!!

Very cool, Matt! I love all your vids! Every kind and all in between! Beautiful home and life collection of one of the rich and famous! ( : Thanks so much for sharing! ( :

So disappointed in not seeing the final price on everything

Great video as usual, Matt. You did very well.

Hi Matt, major scores. That is the neatest, most organized estate sale I've seen.

Curious as to why all the comments that said sketchy seem to have been deleted? Everything can't a glowing compliment. ☹

That was great, man! What an awesome connection!

Pre-sales for the friends, and resellers from estate sales is common where I live.

I think you may have left the leather hanging suitcase that was on the wall. What a score though

You found a gem in Mike! It's good to have estate sale connections. And yes to get the premium stuff first all at once is worth paying up because often times you can get things at a reasonable price and make several hundred or a few thousand.

Nice haul. 😊

As a woman who loves to shop and loves a deal, I would have just TOTALLY fell the F- out over pretty much EVERYTHING in that house... especially those purses...yep pretty much. Geeez I love your videos, Matt!

Would have taken the bronze golfer on the table. Fantastic as always big love from Scotland 👍

What an awesome pick, congrats!

You don't need to tell us the price . Your flushed face gives it away 😁😁😁

Curious why you listed the buckles so high, I couldn't find any ebay comps close to $800 for a buckle like that horse racing one

I can see a private party doing a presale because they are the owners but a state sale company? I don’t know. What stops the state selling company be “in”with the buyer to sell cheap and then divide the profits? Owners trust the state sale company since they don’t know much about prices so the problem is I could sell my buddy Pete items worth 10K for 1K and get a kickback of 2K. Not saying then is the case just that doesn’t look very well for the estate selling company. They should have prices on everything and that way cheating is more difficult and as the owner of the estate I can question any prices I may feel are not to market value.

* Those were the most Beautiful items. The Owner had Exquisite taste. Just seeing things like that in a home was eye-opening. The brass cats were mid-century Modern & easy sellers, but not in the quality range of the Lladro, etc..Envy you that opportunity..

Super cool experience and pick ups! Relationships are key to any business and I wish you both success! Thanks Matt!

So glad you got this great opportunity!!! Thrilled for you. Keep us posted about what happens.

Just curious why would a estate sale company do pre sales? I can understand having a specialist coming in, and going through a large stack of baseball cards. But what's the benefit for them if they just allow someone to get first dibs on anything they want?

So you have 2 handfuls of products and he gives you the smallest tote there. I'm confused.

Love the Heartman duffel

HOW COOL!! GREAT HIGH END STUFF! To be the first person is so awesome! That is a great connection!

Wonderful to see such amazing items Matt thank you Loved the bag!!! Wishing you every success.

What a gorgeous house! Awesome video!

Perhaps it might be a good idea not to show videos like this. I loved watching it but at the same time it just didn't seem right to me that he would give deals and first dibbs to anyone. After all he was hired to make money for the family. And because no money was revealed, And that he was going to do with you again in future makes it even more shadey. Just my opinion thou. Anyway glad you got a good score

Wow, they had some very nice thing’s👍🏻 Texas Lady

Just subscribed! Helllooo from Cape Cod!

Wow being first is like being a dog in a meat market, going wild! LoL. You got some great high dollar items. Good for you. Not always what you know, it’s who you know!

Wow! Would have loved to know how you made out on what you got! Couldn't believe some of those belt buckle prices! ❤😊

Not bad for what yall paid! LET'S GOOO!!!
