Everytime I see Alex getting rid of stuff I start cleaning up my own junk very inspiring watching these videos to not leave too much junk for my daughter one day lol

CONGRATULATIONS ON HALF MILLION Subscribers Family !! THIS IS STILL MY FAVORITE CHANNEL.. Good job ! GO BILLS!

It’s amazing that you can focus on this huge pile and not get overwhelmed not to mention finding time to make videos! Love following along!

You get the feeling that the owners were obsessed with other garage and yard sales. It’s like the collective unconscious of the neighborhood. Kind of fascinating.

Really demonstrates the adage, “You can’t take it with you.”

We have cleaned out 3 relatives homes in the last 5 years, overwhelming is an understatement, our own home has been slightly overlooked and now I feel inspired

That whole house is literally a time capsule of every Canadian suburban household of people born in the 1930's to 70's and the stuff they inherited. So kids from that house are in their 50's now. So weird, I recognized every single thing you pulled out, every brand name, every trinket I have seen or something similar that my family or the families I grew up with owned. They shopped at Hudson Bay, Sears etc., went to the same movies, played the same games and all frantically bought crappy Christmas presents for each other that went into a drawer and into the box you are now opening. They never threw a single thing out. Incredibly strange to watch the material surroundings of my entire early life unboxed. Even the boxes! We used the same BC apple boxes to keep our Coleman stove and canning jars in. Oh and the house, the basement sauna no one really used....really really bizarre.

I've never seen a hoarder house so organized. That sauna looks awesome.

I swear I am so mesmerized I could watch you dig through boxes for hours. This is so different from the other houses you have done. I hope you are able to recoup your outlying cost. the video content of this one alone with 30 thousand views already with ads has got to be well worth it. Congrats on reaching a half a MILLION subscribers. You certainly deserve the recognition due to all the hard work but most of all your compassion for others. You are quite a talented person that has raised a lovely respectful family. Many blessings to you and Melissa.

They are right, KEEP those old TVs. Some are worth hundreds of dollars to a gamer or retro computer user and, yes, they will pay to ship as well. Those things are getting really hard to find in working condition.

I’m a morning person, but my husband is not- so, I have been laughing so hard at the dynamic this morning🤣🤣🤣🤣.The Scooby Doo, and Shaggy impressions SPOT ON Alex!!! Love it👏👏👏👏👍🏻🇺🇸7:04-7:35 Quintessential Alex-and why I absolutely adore him.♥️

That old doll head is valuable! It’s an Armand Marseilles Doll, and worth $$$

Playboy and Good Housekeeping right together. That must have been a good marriage.

This place is so incredibly random. It's hard to picture what the mindset behind collecting all these items would have been. It certainly keeps things interesting though!

So happy you're going to do a separate video of the "time capsule" trunk! It reminds me so much of the trunks in my grandparents' home. Still loving this series and the fact that you're saving so much from the landfill, and hopefully getting a nice return for yourself ❤️

I am really enjoying this series and I so appreciate Alex for his dedication to making videos of this process every day. I’m sure it would be easier to just go in and get the job done without filming!

I'm an Archivist, Librarian, and Genealogist. That trunk's contents made my eyes pop! What a treasure trove!

I stop what I'm doing, when I can, to see how Alex is doing. This house, my word, is quite a job. You are really making progress!

16:00 that didn’t look like a tv that looked like a 1970s zenith data systems computer monitor commonly used on apple 2s. Is quite a valuable piece since it is desirable

I found a doughnut maker like that in the box about 35-40 years ago and still use it to this day. The recipe on the box is the best I’ve found!

I would buy that trunk just because if the Cunard line sticker 😅 Us oceanliner people are a little bit special 🙈

The Skunk pin looks like one I had back in the 70's. If it's the same one, it's probably from Avon, and would have a piece that pops up to reveal a compartment with solid perfume. If the perfume is still in it, and it's in decent shape, it could be worth something.

Alex’ humor is my most favorite thing about watching his videos, hoarder house cleanouts and all 😅 thanks Alex, you make my days!

A senior center would probably love any puzzles you were going to get rid of!

Another thing about old model kits, a lot of parts from them were used to build the ships in Star Wars. So people will buy certain kits just for the odd part and use when they recreate their own star wars stuff.

That book about how to clean practically anything is the absolute best book on the topic. It’s terrific and I pick up any copies that I find to give as gifts.

OMG The memories! It's like searching through my childhood toy box and all of my children's toy boxes at the same time. The best part is, I don't have to deal with the mess.

Love this new hoarder series. Here where I live ( Texas ) when we have boxes of the material we donate them to a 4H group or a local church for their sewing circles or quilt making groups. Can't wait for the rest of the videos.

Holy moly! There are as much here as the other two houses, but in a different way! Each house has its own personality we could say! 🤗🙏❤️❤️

Oh how I wish I were close by.. I'd volunteer my time just to see all the treasure.

This house really should be called 'the garage sale house'. Had fun watching while folding laundry and going thru papers.

Thanks for pronouncing sauna (the first time)correctly, from a Finn. My grandparents all came to the US around 1900. We'd never make a sauna unusable!

The sauna peacock 🦚 is awesome!

Alex, King of Dad Jokes.

I believe the Artex Paints are what was called "liquid embroidery" paints - used for decorating fabric. I remember going to "Liquid Embroidery Parties" in the 70's or early 80's. Much like Tupperware or Avon parties.

You have incredible patience, and so does Patrick. There are so many treasures that I would have loved, especially those Red Rose animals.

Someone’s gonna love that fabric box.

my heart stopped when the powder box came out! If that's got a swansdown puff it could be worth $100 or more

40:12 made me crack up laughing, because no matter which show/channel I'm watching a hoarder house video on, there's almost always at least one "how to clean/organize" book, and it's always packed away where nobody can find it. Ha!

Keys: As we’d sort estates and storage units, we’d put a Flat (short box) someplace like a kitchen counter and every key found in the sort out would be put in that box, so later as we needed to open tool boxes, trunks, safes, desks, Gun cabinets, car trucks, etc, that key group could be checked before making the decision to drill or pop a lock. Having the key saves time and increases an item’s value in many situations.

Omg!! Artex! My family spent so much time colouring all sorts of decorations in the 80’s! Thank you, Alex, for the nostalgic moment!!!

If you decide not to try to sell all those puzzles, senior centers would probably love to have them. But they will probably sell.

The trunk itself is valuable. Especially with stickers

I watch several you-tube pickers, who clean out horder homes, storage lockers. Alexander is so respectful of the items and the process. Not hyperbolic when he finds stuff of value. He is the best and I find most enjoyable of this type channel. Thank you Alex for documenting and sharing this experience.

It occurs to me that the boxes are such a blessing--a lot of hoarders may have packed that all in loose:/

Love the laughs and the adventure. Great series Alex.

I have to admit , it’s a clean hoarder house. No dead animals or just old garbage.

I’m giggling about the house providing boxes, tape and even trash bags as needed. The previous owner is helping you. 😂😂😂

These people could have had a garage sale everyday for 20 years. Just wow

I hope you look on names on the high heels. Some are worth more than Nike Air!

my dads parents loved jigsaw puzzles, when me and my brother were young 70s 80s we spent hours helping them,,they hung them all over the walls of there house ,

My daughter inherited her dad's estate. Hoarder/collector. I'm happy to see you back, your programs are what gets us through. You've helped us tremendously in pricing and what is more valuable.

This is reminding me of my grandparents basement and I now feel a bit guilty that I was not able to help my mom deal with it. According to she and her siblings, their parents' need to "save it all" was inherited from my great grandparents' depression-era experiences.

RE the Cunard sticker on the trunk: Cunard is the most historic cruise line in the world. During the early days of the 20th Century their ocean-greyhounds, Lusitania and Mauretania, were the fastest ocean liners in the world. Their modern turbine engines allowed them to achieve over 24 knots - an impressive feat of engineering.

You just made my brain explode; I used to have that fisher price tv music box when i was little and haven't thought of it since then. I loved it!

Your finds are taking me back to my childhood

I am enjoying this clean out series. I see so many things that I either had or my parents did.

Hi Alex, Yes selling heels is difficult, harder to find a fit, while sneakers are easier...but saying going to charity keeps out of landfill...it does help of course but does not guarantee it I'm sure you know. I have a reference from an Australian TV news program: "While donations redirect over 588,000 tonnes of clothing and textiles from landfill per year through reuse and recycling, charities are forced to throw away more than 60,000 tonnes of donations which ultimately end up in landfill". And I have heard if our local Seattle Goodwills get too much inventory at once they send it straight to our BINS where its sold by the pound without even going through it first for their stores. And a lot of that is then sold off in bulk to 3rd world countries or used for rags but sadly most of that does go to the landfill. I think the moral of the story is that there is a LOT of stuff out there and many of us buy too much, more than we can use. And whatever you can do to "recycle" or "reuse" pre-owned items the better. Kudos for helping to save the planet Alex.

Love your sense of humor. Keep it up.

Holding my breath waiting for you to pull out some priceless treasure, for all you and Patrick's hard work, I hope your rewarded😊

I get so involved with your clean-out, Alex, that I start feeling panicky from the overwhelm. I have to remind myself that I'm not actually having to do this! Love watching your progress, though....what a great series!

The tv was actually a composition monitor- useful for old 8 bit computers

Congrats on a half of million subscribers!!!

Omg I’ve been waiting for puzzles! I LOVE puzzles, plus they’re pretty collectible! Wonder if they had any rare ones.

Alex, I'm continually impressed that you can sort through the extreme "jumbledness" in all those boxes without losing your mind. I'm sitting here feeling OCD twitchy just watching!

I really look forward to these videos from harder house

I never had a chalk eraser thrown at me, but my 3rd grade teacher lobbed her shoe at my head! True story! 😂

❤You really brought back memories when you showed the ‘Cat Eye’ glasses. My first pair of glasses when I was 9 yrs old were pink cat eye glasses with rhinestones going up the sides at the top. Turned them in to sun glasses in the sixties just for the fun of it. 😊

literally been waiting and refreshing my yt home page to check when the next videos are out

There was a time when "plastic" bags were made with corn starch or something and they just crumbled like that. An attempt at conservation which was abandoned very quickly.

This series is fun. Lots of boomer memory stuff. I smiled when I saw the vintage 48 crayolas, toys, and various other boomer items.

I spy Springbok puzzles!! We love them in the jigsaw puzzle community!! Sorry they are my favorite. Springbok from the 60s-80s can sell for a lot of money. A lot of them at auction would be amazing!

The artex paints are the old versions of clothing paint. My grandma used them a lot for years to paint clothing, faces on cloth dolls, etc. when I was little my grandma made me a clown doll with glow-in-the-dark eyes that I carried everywhere, but my mom secretly trashed it because she thought it looked psychotic (and so did one of my Drs. at the time)!

Those clown dolls with the big red noses.... I think I had one as a small child!! If it's the same one, the nose turns like a dial and it winds up a music box, then plays music. Old memory unlocked! Lol. Even as a little kid, I thought the clown was ugly though lol

Most florists shops will take those empty flower vases off of your hands if you want to recycle them, provided they are not damaged.

That "TV" looks like an old Apple II monitor.

15:50 You'd be surprised. It's mostly the color sets that gamers are after. The older black and white portables get attention from collectors as long as they are in good cosmetic condition and the CRT is not dead. It's not hard to find a TV from the mid-late 1980s up, but the older stuff has become pretty difficult to find. Most thrift stores quit taking CRT sets after the transition to DTV and still refuse to take them today.

I remember those clowns. You wind their nose and it plays a music box style of tune.

Too funny 😂🤣I love your Scooby-Doo impressions 😂🤣😂

Slowly but surely getting through this hoarder house. Hope there's a good payday for you. I have to keep tuned till auction day. Cheers! 👋

About the old TVs, most thrift stores here don't accept them and haven't for years so they are hard to come across. And don't underestimate gamers willing to spend money on it! Some like the period correct 70s,80s, others want the later generations 90s. So there is definitely a market for them.

When you opened that old case from 1961 my nose flared and i almost sneezed. Funny how I have a conditioned reaction when I'm not really there.

Love watching this channel! Wish I was an antique specialist....love the finds!!

The Doll head is worth selling 🙂

Never change Alex, love your dad jokes. 😅 It's like Christmas every time you open a box, can't wait to see what's in them even if it's junk it's the anticipation. Looking forward to the next video! Congratulations on reaching 500k subscribers! 🥰🥰🥰

Wow, what a diverse collection of stuff. I freaked out when I saw that plastic model of the black 1955 Chevy, I built that exact car when I was a kid.

It’s just like a treasure hunt. Love it!

Yes, hard to run in high heels. Cunard Lines, someone had a sea voyage back to the Mother Country, that will be a cool episode. Canon AE1, best camera I ever had until it got dropped in the ocean.

Given the mold in the memories suitcase, I suggest making sure you do it in a well ventilated place away from everything else.

What a huge challenge ! Since the beginning I've been waiting to see what's in the attic lol

Empty Boxes: yes, your lucky most of the supplies you need, especially empty boxes, were in that house. For many jobs like this, empty boxes and totes have to be brought to the site every morning. For setting up on-site auctions we’d routinely hit up all the grocery stores in our area for boxes. I especially favored berry flats for loading with hand tools and hardware, since they are 4 to 8” tall. To get big boxes, to make lots of New/old stock packaged bedding/linens, stuffed animals, Tupperware and pots and pans, we’d favor previously used house moving boxes. Art, mirrors and large mid-century wall decor pieces and those Sputnik clicks went into used mirror packs, for transport. All the useD blankets Already on site would be used to wrap/pad furniture, then donated/discarded after.

Hey Patrick…aren’t you glad Alexander wakes up super cheerful & chatty whilst you’re trying to wake up? 🤣😂🤣 The skunk pin is from the 1960s and is by Avon, I know because I have mine that I received as a child. I believe the date should be on it.

YAY!!!!!! BEEN SO WAITING TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Do take care. Fl., U.S.A.

My son and I would have a grand old time putting all those puzzles together!

Alex, if you keep buying, (or plan to buy more), hoarder houses, you may want to consider buying an old school bus. Once the seats are taken out, there’s a plethora of space to haul stuff to auction, charity, etc. And, they’re cheap to buy!

You should name this series The House of Boxes” 😂

Every box you go through…is another one done 🤷🏻‍♀️ and from my screen…you have made good if not great progress…I hope you feel it too! Loving the longer video too…we really appreciate the time your taking to keep up involved 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

Some of these boxes remind me of junk drawers. It’s like when their junk drawers became full they just chucked all the junk into a box and started over instead of sorting through whatever was in there.

What a great ceramic Peacock!

I sold my late 60s television set to a man who just opened a retro themed restaurant... Got some good money for it 😀
