I love how Alex NEVER talks down or degrades someone’s collection, no matter what he finds. He always finds a way to say like ”maybe not for me” or ”maybe a bit on the newer side than I’d want” or ”this looks more like entry level” instead of just saying that something looks like cheap crap. Very respectable towards everyone and everything. Love him for it! ❤️

I wonder if he ever had car troubles or broke down with this old car. And just a few minutes into the video, you are having car troubles. How odd and weird.

Beautiful dance regalia!! The guns of the 1885 resistance were actually used against my family.

My grand mere made bullets from the lining of tin cans they were using rocks and anything they could find in the end to stop Middleton.

[@justmeiniowa]

The prices I could see on the stuff in that store were insane. No wonder it was packed to the gills. Most likely he didn't really want to sell anything or the prices would have been more in the realistic range.

[@therealJamieJoy]

I agree with your assessment. The difference between a hoarder, collector, and merchant tends to be psychological. How things are stored, what is the evaluation process, if there is trouble letting go of any part of it, and if "trash" is valued the same as museum quality, artistic value, market valued items. The psychology to keep and store beyond what is reasonable, usable, and the inability to part with items even when they make your life difficult or even untenable is where the pathology lies.

[@flitsertheo]

$350 for a Praktica MTL5. You can get a nice one for less than $50 on Ebay. With 591.000 pieces built between 1983 and 1985 and not being the ultimate camera in that series it is not even very collectible.
