From Abandoned House to Thrift Store Gold: 1,000 paid only 7 days to get it all out!!

Only 7 days to get everything out! We paid 1,000 for everything in this house and found some amazing treasures! The entire garage was filled to the ceiling. After going through everything we found a trove of vintage toys, games, coins, stamps, books, MCM items and the list goes on and on! The kitchen hasn't been touched in years completely full of Vintage Pyrex, Corningware, Fireking, Sunbean and so much more shown here! This was a blast!

[@angelacollaso496]

Hope you took most of those items to auction. Those coins alone and then the metal toys and the jewelry… all of it, Wow! What a great find.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

It was a fun house!!!

[@Loverofcats14]

The royal Worcester china with the lid, is called an egg coddler. You put your egg in boiling water halfway up to cook. Some people do collect them.

[@elizabethtaylor4448]

And also it's pronounced "Wooster" with a short o.

[@justice4dalton]

The brown glass with designs in it that you held up in the kitchen was a freebie that was in Tide powdered laundry soap in the 70's. I would beg my grandma to let me get it out! Cool walk down memory lane with all that stuff!

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

I love that! I had no idea!!

[@justice4dalton]

@@lilmikesthriftandvintage There were several different sets/sizes of that glass. They might be carnival glass repops

[@mjay4700]

Wow what an amazing score. They never threw away anything that was interesting. Looks like multiple generations and lifetimes of collecting the country's most memorable moments in forms of pop culture media, toys, housewares, decor, etc, etc. The amount of small paper goods that were kept in tact is astounding - Books, booklets, cardboard cartons, advertising, newspapers.. The amount of toys, games, etc that were kept sealed in original packaging.. The myriad of small collections tucked away within the larger mass collection also. The post-war expansion period from about 1945 to about 1985 was just a great era... In the US there was just such advancements in technology, manufacturing, housing, food, shared cultures, importation.. This mass collection of stuff really represents that era well. You can see different sub-eras in their decor, glassware, clothing.. Incredible time capsule and to find much of it in its' original spot in the home with dust in tact.. It's weird but there's just something about it that is fascinating.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

I love this comment! It was such a vast variety of stuff from many eras!!! A time capsule for sure!!

[@Charlie-lu1jn]

This is picker heaven!

[@chappy675]

I just found you and what a great video!!!! You are so fun and interesting and a great video maker! I was just dying watching you open treasurer after treasurer after treasurer!! What a great dig!! And to top it all off those Lionel trains in the attic that you didn’t even mention or look at !!! OMG what a great buy you made. I saw the Houston newspapers and hoped you were in Houston where I am. I would have been going to your store tomorrow. Alas, we are a few hundred miles apart but maybe someday soon. Now I’m going to binge your other videos.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

Thank you so much!!!❤

[@AlexandraKozub-tp7fe]

Someone’s years and years of collecting and hoarding. Wow 1000 for that persons time and money not much but better than nothing I guess or family throwing it all in a dumpster . Sad people don’t want to deal with stuff lots of work and money to pay to store till it sells.

[@AlexandraKozub-tp7fe]

Easy to just get rid of. The persons whole life spent collecting its a shame

[@Caemen87B]

I’m so glad someone appreciates all the stuff this person had. Even the boxes are old and vintage ❤️

[@user-jq5xe3wm8f]

I agree, I've seen instances where empty boxes and containers are worth 100 times more than what was in them, or enhances the value of the item in them as much. lots of vintage stuff in this place for sure. 🙂

[@rickforke4156]

So much great stuff!

[@rhondalockrey9592]

So many treasures it was a thrill watching you pull out more of them. Good luck on your selling well worth the money spent!

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

Thank you!!

[@theresablanton233]

Good thing you love the old photos cause family sure doesn't anymore🙁seen Lionel boxes in attic, train sets big bucks👍

[@elementgypsy]

Awesome score. A lot of unique items. I've owned, seen or had relatives with so much of the things you showed! Such memories. Definitely a hoarder home. The salad dressing jar. Good season was a dry spice mix and you made it at home. Way before there were many choices in the stores. I saw an old walmart box supposed to return, the slide rule! Lol. Good luck. Remarkable how clean and mouse free stuff is. I helped clean a hoarder and things were mice and mold.

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

The clown thing at 18:15 is a wind-up baby mobile. You crank the round key and the hook would spin the stuff dangling from the hook, usually little stuffed circus animals.

[@jackiesicilian5720]

It's amazing you're taking all these things out instead of them going in the landfill that's great

[@theresablanton233]

You just unpacked my whole life😊

[@momto4boz]

How cool is that, everything totally reminds me of growing up in the 70's...

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

It was like it was never touched!

[@dmreddragon6]

Absolutely a fantastic investment! I'm almost sure that you will find one single item that you'll make your money back on, and the other million things will be pure profit! I'd be in heaven researching stuff.

[@allisonv395]

The Pyrex! 😍 kitchen would be my hot spot.

[@janellkunkle5169]

Everything you found is great, but condition is everything.

[@wainwrightroad6100]

The rules with the slide is a "Slide Rule" and better, it's from the West Point Military Academy. Pretty cool vintage piece. My grandfather attended there.

[@sherylboccuzzi9176]

I remember having to learn how to use a slide rule. Still couldn't use one.

[@wainwrightroad6100]

The wheat carafe with oil and vinegar lines from good seasons was for making your own salad dressing from a seasoning packet back in the day. You could reuse the carafe and just buy more little packets and mix with your own vin and oil for "fresh made" dressing. Circa 1970s when moms were heading to work.

[@Caemen87B]

Orange cups ❤

[@crunchytaco58]

You gell into a Wonderful find, I was excited especially after seeing the old papers, and books.....Great find.

[@user-ig8th7hl1r]

Amazing finds. You’re definitely going to get your money back.

[@chappy675]

That ruler is a slide ruler. Way before your time. It’s the precursor for calculators and computers. It was used by engineers and math scholars. Probably very collectible.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

Very cool!! It seems way smarter than me also! Lol

[@kimberlyheckler8453]

I used to love paper dolls. I spent hours cutting out the clothes and even made them clothes of my own! I never ran out of things to do growing up. ❤

[@tammytaylor1278]

I did paper dolls too. I loved them.

[@chappy675]

Btw the Astrodome cone is a megaphone for yelling for your team. It’s what they sold popcorn in at the games. Not a hat. That and those Astroworld cups are very collectible.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

That’s cool!!!😊

[@whatwouldtarado213]

[@vintagevisionsales]

Wow, lucky you!!! I would be so overwhelmed! I have an antique house tour with things in place because they still live there if anyone is interested.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

I love that!

[@elizabethtaylor4448]

The ruler was called a Slide Rule. We used to use them in Maths class in the early 80s to calculate square roots or something like that. I've always been rubbish at maths.

[@magpiethriftadventures2660]

Research the coins you found fully, some coins could be error coins such as double strikes or other errors, key dates that can make them extremely valuable, and Please DO NOT try to clean the coins !! Cleaning coins takes ALL the value away !! I really enjoyed watching and looking forward to seeing more videos, God Bless.

[@joasiadornick242]

Had a baseball my grandpa was keeping in a safe for us our whole childhood and it’s was a World Series New York Yankees ball with babe Ruth and all those guys. We needed a new car so we sent the baseball to New York to see the worth. Was literally worth nothing because my grandpa signed over the signatures with a pen himself because they were fading and made it worth zilch. We found out it could have got us about 18,000-20,000. Uggg. Like a knife to the heart. 💜

[@dmreddragon6]

I'm pretty sure there is ONE item in all that that's going to make your $1,000 investment back! You're sitting on a gold mine there! You need a research team. I LOVE researching stuff. All those goodies would take me forever to research, but I'd love every minute.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

Yeah right!! I’m still researching and going through this stuff!!

​@lilmikesthriftandvintage that reddish and yellow candy dish (around the 2:15 mark) looks just like the one my grandma had. She would put ribbon candy in it for us when we visited. Is that listed on ebay yet?

Awesome video, I love your excitement with every new item you unpack. It's my first time watching your channel. It would be my dream to have an experience like this. I checked out your store too. I'm just genuinely curious as a new reseller, why you price everything so low? Based on other "solds" for the same items you could get so much more.

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

I try to sell faster. My mantra is I'd like make a million quarters then a thousand 1s ya know? I at least try!

[@MootieScootie]

@@lilmikesthriftandvintage thank you for your reply. I guess it makes sense if you have a huge inventory. I'm trying to get the most I can per item with my much smaller inventory. I only have a spare room to work out of so I can't have too many items at once.

Some of the photos are death pictures. The people who get them done have be wealthy. It was for memorial, there are family members that never got to meet the people that passed so people would get photos so others would get to see them.

[@maryb5638]

Stop touching the stamps

[@joasiadornick242]

Omg dude. That place is a gold mine. My grandpa also wrote on everything. Like where he found weird stuff like that screw in the box. Me and mom live in their house now and during Covid I cleaned the attic out and started posting on eBay and marketplace. I became a reseller over night and had the time to do it and I haven’t stopped since. Just wondering how much can you get a whole house for ? Just curious Was thinking of starting an exes Tate sake business. Those Mickey Mouse’s are worth a bit. Maybe $50 each

[@lilmikesthriftandvintage]

Anywhere from 200-300 up to 3-4k depending on what it has inside and how much work it will be! Where do you source most of your stuff to tell from?

[@angiemartin4817]

What is the last name on that Bible?! I think it’s my family’s last name. But the fonts hard to make out if it’s an H or a B. If it’s up for sale I would be interested if it is our family name.

[@tamabogert9494]

The steel pennies really aren't worth much. If you find a copper penny from the same years as the steel pennies those are the valuable ones. They made pennies out of steel because of the war the copper was being used for bullets that's why the ones made out of copper are valuable because they're very very rare
