Hoarder Finds a £300 Sketch | Storage Hoarders

[@MmmMulholland]

Regarding Antonia and her husband - this is what happens when you don’t listen to red flags.

[@bethg6787]

I haven’t heard the term bric-a-brac used for years! Made me gleefully nostalgic and was an excellent description of this “eclectic collection”.

[@christineberry3076]

beth granger What about Steampunk collector Stuff?

[@dianethompson2458]

Sir Ben is so lucky to have been born into money. He has not got any sense at all though. Those aristocratic people certainly need help because they can not look after themselves. Years of being told they are better than everyone else when they are not.

[@johnedwards466]

God this sir Ben is a right Charley Thant me being polite if he hadn’t put such a inflated price on the items he could of made thousands but he know better than the advisor now got to pay to transfer them and pay storage the whole exercise was wasted on him and he wasn’t very entertaining in himself but in general very good program thanks for posting mrs edwards here

[@craftyhobbit7623]

The thing is, if Sir Ben was living in a council house or tiny council flat instead of a stately home, he would be like those who just fill their home with junk, and by junk, I mean actual rubbish, not just too many books, pots, pans, clothes, etc... As an aristocrat, he doesn't have any taste at all, and those cannons, etc, are only of value if historical events can be linked to them.

[@lavwrenbeeh7836]

When a guy chooses trash over his children... NO!

[@harmalalkaloid]

it’s not a choice but more like a psychological compulsion

[@davidmowbray4230]

£64,000 a year in energy bills is more than I'll spend in my lifetime.

[@janesmith9024]

He has a big house. £40k on heating for a caslte type house is not unusual. Mine are about £5000 a year - not a castle.

[@Seiferboi]

I didn't know Maggie had a new show! I only know her from Clean House. Sir Ben's manor is gorgeous. The inside kinda reminds me of a Victorian manor with the items in it.

[@neighbourhoodwitch18]

Seiferboy Gaming who's Maggie? Do you mean Aggie? As in Aggie McKenzie?! 🤔

[@tracy-dg3qq]

It's like a museum

[@dreaminlayers]

I saw a Vitalograph box in Steve's unit! I worked for them! I even traveled from the US office to the UK office, in Buckinghamshire, twice for work!

[@alioc3298]

Why does he need one though...

[@CG-vd4nu]

They're blocks of concrete, dude. Take the 200 quid.

[@Veirud]

I must say, Sir Ben seems like a really nice guy! Despite his hoarding, I mean...lol. But I bet he has a LOT of stories to tell...😉

[@DreamingCatStudio]

This show misses the psychological component-the “helpers” think calling it all rubbish and being rational will persuade the hoarder. But they collected for many reasons, and untangling the attachments takes understanding. Tough love will work briefly for this show. What about when the cameras go away, and the hoarder has had no insight or emotional awareness? They’ll scurry to refill that perceived lack, and all the stuff will be back.

[@Simba______]

The SELL sign should be in green, for money. The KEEP sign should be in red, for a red flag, or a negative connotation.

[@sprout_456]

Simba I agree ☝🏼

[@bunnygirl893]

we have no green money here, but yea red should be for keeping so it has a negative connotation

[@vansomz6137]

Exactly. Apparently, “common sense is not common practice!”

[@suemommie]

Green for GO, then?

[@Temptation666]

5 potato mashers 🤣 I don't even have one. I use a fork and a whisk

[@poodlegirl55]

Did they say the pregnant woman was only a fiance? She needs to run!!!

[@janesmith9024]

They said they were going to get married and the clear out was part of that plan. Not sure if the 3rd child will be born before the wedding or not...

[@Jenny-uv4dl]

Yep!!!!

[@alamedadanceparty]

Agree!!

[@Em.5.4.3.2.1]

And the moral of this tale is: be careful whose children you have, they inhibit your ability to run a mile.

[@SoramimiKeiki]

Also the chance is very high, that they become hoarders themselves, when growing up in such an environment.

[@lovelyskull3483]

Sir Ben, fabulous personality with eccentric taste and a magnificent home and history. Steve hopefully finds more valuable collectables, but lovely couple. Also Agie as always just a joy. Thank you for the upload.

[@harmalalkaloid]

supposedly has eccentric taste… but in reality couldn’t tell whether any of his items were actually genuine. Spending lots of money doesn’t equal having taste

[@lailaR208]

Benjamin should be ashamed... He needs the money and sets the reserve at those unreasonable prices!? You should take what you can get! And the offers where much higher than it was worth! Shame on you sir. 🤐

[@kellyhughes7658]

That's what aggravates me is they set high reserves.

[@TheBacktimer]

When your greed leaves you ending up with nothing

[@CreditR01]

He's seriously deluded.

[@motheroftwo5551]

Many people are referring to Antonia as Steve's wife....but after being together for 5 years and having two children together (and another on the way), she is only his fiance. I would say there is more problems in this relationship other than his hoarding. He wants to hang on to his past in more ways than simply keeping his storage rather to making a good future for her and their children. Sad really....

[@janesmith9024]

Yes but they are going to have a wedding it briefly mentioned and she wants things cleared before the wedding. Perhaps the solution is work for her - I worked full time when I had 2 children under 4 and was pregnant and earned more than my husband and I was the one affording us a big house!

[@janesmith9024]

Sir Ben bought things he should not have and was probably conned into it including at the auction where he bought the guitar and really should have just got rid of them without reserves or low reserves. He needs to clear the whole unit and then clear abhout 50% of the items in his house. Then he needs to look at his costs - £40k a year heating etc and decide what makes the most money in his business eg he may not need the assistant he brought with him or he might be able to hire his home out more. The other couple- that man needs to get rid of his tools if he doesn't use them anymore. He also needs to clear the garage of everything except the children's bikes.

[@bunnygirl893]

I have hoarding tendencies because i was put in foster care at a critical time in my life, so i didn’t have my family or friends i only had stuff, and that’s why i formed emotional connections to literal trash

[@राधाकुमार-द4य]

#111 NOTE: _Those who REFUSE to clear their hoard just proves that they love their stuff and themselves MORE THAN YOU, your wellbeing and happiness! (Throw them an ultimatum or flee from them!)_

[@राधाकुमार-द4य]

This is part of a certain mindset. Instead of getting rid of things you dont need, on a regular basis. As soon as you realize you dont need them. Instead of cleaning your house a little at a time. As soon as you notice a room is dirty. Buying stuff instead of putting a litlle money away for an emergency. Then you have to hire all these people to spend months cleaning your home, to clear out a storage bin full of junk that you dont even remember what its in it. You have no money in case of emergency cus its been spent on difficult situations that you have created. Meanwhile, I sit home relaxing, watching these videos because my house is clean, I have nothing in storage and Im not wasting my money. I dont know what this mindset is called. I think its some kind of disorganized thinking.

[@CarolWoc]

Both these men are mad.

[@Fleshaga]

[@fayeashcroft7066]

Mother of two Antonia is Steve’s Partner and not only Gus Fiancé but the mother of his children Sounds like your living in the 1950s with your comment tone If she is only a fiancé not a wife !!! All men collect stuff when the bills come in they usually have to sell there precious collectables Steve’s thinking it’s like money in the bank but the storage fees are eating the money 💰 away Good luck to Antonia and Steve Their young and haven’t really struggled yet financially

[@achatinaslak742]

What happened to that beautiful guitar?

[@mildredchester]

Antonia doesn't look well. She seems more like his child..and his crappy old magazines are just sad.

[@janesmith9024]

She is pregnant - I think that's all. I do agree it was an interesting unbalanced relationship and he is probably a lot older.

[@mlynn9361]

such delusional reserves on those auction items ... like - the pro told you what its worth, what are you doing... 3k for a painting etc is better than nothing. oy.

[@janesmith9024]

Yes, very strange - thinking he knows better than experts simply because he was conned in the first place into buying new stuff thinking it was old

[@cindy-ml7vo]

He needed x amount to pay his bills, therefore he required that much from the auction. It doesn't work that way.

[@yamothawasahamsta7669]

I have a problem throwing things away. Not because I want to keep them but because of all the trash being dumped in the ocean. So much trash. I'd rather take the time to fix it and give it away then to add to the pile of trash that's taking over the planet.

[@erica5513]

[@differenttakethanmost]

Seems silly to sell their stuff at a local live auction with 27 people in attendance- vs. an online audience with a worldwide audience. Perhaps the auction houses they use do post the items online...but it doesn’t appear so.

[@Temptation666]

you often see bidders on the phone. They are professional's bidding for people who has seen the items on the internet. They are on the phone so bidder can say yay or nay to continue to bid. Also remember this is taped in 2011 - 2012

[@craftyhobbit7623]

I think as well, people who are born into his station in life also have an over inflated sense of the value of the material goods that are around them, plus also they have a distortion over the value of money because they are used to spending lots. If you buy wallpaper at £10 a roll, they'll think of nothing of paying £50, or more! MPs from a privileged background and anyone working in a business where lots of money is casually spent show a similar delusion to reality. Designer clothes are 'cheap' to them and holidays abroad are taken for granted.

Jesus Christ said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:35 -38)
