What I didn’t know until a few years ago, was that some holocaust survivors became hoarders. A dear woman I knew from work turned out to be one… she lived with her mom who survived Auschwitz. They took everything from them, not just family and friends, not just their homes, not just toys with their memories, but even their hair… I’d be hoarding after that too…

[@eliezer1060]

I love your comment.

[@KawaiiVictini1]

Loving all the great shots of the cats! The cameramen have their priorities straight

[@Spaceseeker]

Love the geeky couple! (and their happy cats!)

[@nancybee77]

They choose the best people for this show. Love them all!

[@teem9010]

curtis never gets much money for anybodys collectibles. theyd do better local or ebay i imagine. i have been shocked as a buyer at the low low prices things are sold for.

[@crystalm4324]

Yeah the absolute worst place to sell collectables - an auction house in lots. That’s where you go to find someone clueless enough to sell a treasure for a pittance.

[@JP-ve7or]

I know! I'm just glad there's a reserve on things that don't get a high enough bid.

[@marialiyubman]

Exactly. And he does it when they’re desperate so they don’t complain.

[@MusicLoverMN]

I’m so jealous of all of the Star Wars stuff especially the Darth Vader things! 🤯🤩♥️ Plus so much more! I love collecting too! I make sure not to let it get too bad though. Lol 😂

[@martinasikk6162]

The geek couple should have a museum. 🌹

[@tractorfeed7602]

Would those Star Wars and retro movie memorabilia have done better if they were sold individually in online collectors' forums instead as a lot at an auction?

[@LaWendeltreppe]

Same thing I thought and piece by piece, not all in one.

[@samanthaabreu782]

Probably, but this can take weeks and the ideia is to get rid off things as fast as they can. It's to end the hoard and not to get money.

[@-.-Sara-.-]

I think so....

[@homoerectus7282]

@@samanthaabreu782 as a collector i couldnt disagree with you more. We spend money and time growing our collections and so making as much money as we can when selling them is the least these peoplw could have gotten for having to part with their things. Plus im sure they could use the money.

[@leighf92]

Absolutely would have. I am a horror collector and you can get decent money back for selling off items just have to find the right place to sell them.

[@21Cauzzie]

Whatovely group of people! I wish them well with their organising.

[@gilbertlonechild6247]

I hope they get to take their trip. Such a nice couple. 🥰

[@rocsiali4092]

The cats lol

[@MusicLoverMN]

How did I know* from the beginning that Moishe’s hoarding was going to be caused by generational trauma from the Holocaust?! Way before they talked about it I just knew that would be it. How tragic💔

[@YochevedDesigns]

Same. And he's such a lovely, gentle soul.

[@meowskull]

The art collector is in no way a hoarder. Just a sloppy guy who lives in a small home.

[@eliezer1060]

Yeah

[@Itsjcold0]

He is gonna regret selling all of those toys

[@waytansea]

Why all the professional housekeepers look like the lovely, adorable Kim Woodburn? 😄❤️

[@marioedward7635]

Because they are all her 🤪

[@Nielis0022]

In the Netherlands, it's usually only the rich that hire housekeepers. To me she looks exactly like all the toilet ladies at our nightclubs. Big respect for their work btw, hope they are doing well during this everlasting Covid crisis...

[@publicserviceannouncement4777]

She's like Mary Poppins "practically perfect in every way."

[@bonnieskelton5563]

Lmao....

[@lisamoolman719]

Those sorting boxes are far too small..

[@peggypeggy4137]

When do you cross the line between being a "collector" and being a "hoarder"? The toy collector guy looks like a younger Pavarotti.

[@Nielis0022]

I think crossing the line is when you start putting stuff on the floor.

[@foreverkenzie2397]

Someone said collectors have a system and cherish their items where as hoarders try to fit as much in an area as they can

[@leighf92]

As a collector to me the line would be when you can't even view and enjoy your collection and it's all over not organized/taken care of.

[@D-me-dream-smp]

The biggest sign is if it starts interfering with your daily life and/or creating difficulty in your relationships. In general most collectors are proud of their collections and want to show them off whereas hoarders feel shame and anxiety around their collections. Extreme hoarding has a psychological basis often as a result of past trauma or abandonment.

[@fabienneclavier5984]

If your stuff is all over the place and things become out of hands and overwhelming, then you are not a collector.

[@marialiyubman]

When the antique guy told the dealer that he thinks the pieces are copies without even seeing what the dealer thinks. That’s.. foul.. He could sell it for his asking price on eBay.

[@allnargles]

I hate that the editing repeats a lot of the stuff… like the sewing machine phrase, they do this all throughout this modality which is a pity because the first hoarding shows had big network quality.

[@rabiaihadrine8763]

Seriously? How can you guys, call that room a bedroom??? And where is the bed supposed to be put? U will only fit in that room if you're a child or a hobbit.

[@alexisbloodwood5587]

Nice to know they found the bodies. Though that's also common speech in my house as well. Skulls, legs, body, my dad is a tailor and a tinkerer :/

[@VEGETAJCL]

For an antiques dealer, he sure is clueless. What a fake rubbish!

[@marialiyubman]

When I saw Nick’s collection of horror movies on that dusty shelf it made ME angry, I can’t imagine how he must feel…

[@mywittyromance]

It's interesting to see what people hoard, because it shows the type of person they want to be and emulate but can't. The couple likes all this Gothic stuff but can't dress like it in reality. The artist really likes India and Buddhas because he wants to be seen as spiritual and otherly. It's a dream that buying junk won't fulfill

[@titajuwita9073]

those figures really easy to sell in the internet individually some people want to pay high too actually , maybe clearing the room is worth than money and thats ok

[@uddelhexe3545]

I'd take half of the stuff Nick and Nickola have XD. They might be me and my husbands soulmates XD

[@xandrafrancois]

The toys I rather sell on-line with the action figures or at a specialist shop.

[@Helen-us1ly]

The cats were getting nervous are we going or staying?

[@SadieMy]

Love all the kitties

[@marialiyubman]

WHY are they selling these vintage clothes at an auction where they sell other junk as well?? London alone has an entire industry of anything from professional Tailoring to amateur sewing. They would salivate for some of this stuff. Bernadette banner would salivate for the chance to explore and recreate original Victorian clothing… but no, sell it in a bundle with a kimono and a choochoo train…

[@elijah9395]

PLZZZZ me and my nana were throwing out old toys today and she she sent me this saying "see what I saved you from"

[@thebarefoothobbit]

The nerd couple is me and my husband haha

[@lisbetsoda4874]

The toys should have been sold on eBay. That guy always takes the easy way out and loses money for the owners.

[@GungraveFreak]

Seriously, all that stuff NIB like that, easy few thousands at least

[@marialiyubman]

Nick and Nicola are an amazing couple, I’d love to come play with their toys any day (although, I’d probably hate Nick because he doesn’t unbox his dolls.. 😭). Lol There’s such a KZbin niche for people like them. Talking about their collections, selling them off, collaborating with nerdy makers, especially since it seems like Nicola sews… I think they were taken for a ride.. they could have gotten much more money for their stuff, and being on a deck uttering show doesn’t mean you need to sell everything you own, especially not your most prized possessions without even bargaining… it’s just sad… And I’m also offended (not using it as the magic word on the internet), for Moishe because his Indian stuff seems to be worth as much as he wanted for it, had he waited and had it properly appraised first… the windows alone are works of art… I’m just angry that having that “antique” “expert” on the show compels people to trust him with valuables and he seems to sell them to the first person who would take them. It makes me sad and angry… I mean, at least, install the Indian windows somewhere after you’ve decluttered the rubbish and out the Buddha figurines on the floor along with those walking stick-weapons. Why did he sell that???

[@monicaraybon4634]

How much for the cats lol

[@bakugoukatsuki209]

Bruh oh no 😭 Now that I'm looking at this, my mom has it WORSE 😭😭

[@MusicLoverMN]

I can’t help wondering where there son has been?! It looks like he has been gone for a long time too so wtf?! Am I the only person who is wondering about that?!

[@FigaroHey]

Are these shows from before EBay?

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

No, eBay has been around since 99 I think, or was it 2000 ? But anyways, no eBay has been around for a bit

[@kaichenbo1965]

ich möchte die grusel und starwars sachen kaufen..... schöne sachen dabei

[@birbiebirdie]

how is the artist's name spelled? wanted to look him up and couldn't figure it out.

[@lucianboar3489]

I think it's Moishe

[@D-me-dream-smp]

He’s very cool.

[@Cheezclown]

Don’t get rid of Kermit!!!!!😢(they kept him!)

[@momof2momof2]

Curtis is in no way an asset to this show

[@Helen-us1ly]

Curtis's energy and enthusiasm it's great.

Check out the bed post on the left at 44:45. I think I just found another body part...

[@nicluc3720]

😂😂😂

[@michaelahilzensauer4994]

It makes me angry that they sold the DOCTOR WHO stuff so cheap! Online they would have gotten alot more!!! So stupid...... 😮

[@lisbetsoda4874]

Moishe's name is pronounce MoishE, not Moish. Sounds so disrespectful.

[@fabienneclavier5984]

My thought too at first. But! They directly addressed him as Moish, and he would most probably have corrected them if the pronunciation had been wrong. So maybe he likes it pronounced this way better, or it’s a nickname or something... After all he is a tad eccentric 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Moish is a common nickname or shortened version of Moshe (pronounced MO-sheh, Hebrew for Moses).

[@lindaf9901]

Moishe and Marianne should become friends! :D

[@Ad-Infinitum]

Nah, no chemistry. She didn't appreciate art at all and I'm pretty sure he found her patronising at the end.

[@LaWendeltreppe]

I hate how this voice over comments are always trying to influence the mood in this docus, to mock, to belittle their creativity and to let these nice fellows look like idiots. ("now the penny has dropped") Very insensitive.

[@lucianboar3489]

it's just good natured banter

[@jankay8569]

well, they are idiots

[@martinasikk6162]

I agree. Some hoarders are collectors, where the thing has got out of hand and they can’t get rid of anything and can’t keep the house clean etc. But English people in those programs are much nicer than the American versions.

[@rainbowtrout75]

TOO MANY ADS!!!! EVERY 30 SECONDS-REDICULOUS!UNWATCHABLE

[@donnadurant4000]

Love this show. But so bloody repetitive that I almost walked away many times. Really people. We aren't idiots. Don't treat us as if we are.

[@donnadurant4000]

Huh. Meaning? I don't need a show recapped every 5 minutes. I do have a memory even if you don't.

[@fabienneclavier5984]

It’s the tv format we see here, on tv the repeats happen after each commercial break.

[@jasonmetcalfe4695]

Really annoying when they do that, mind you how many ads are in an ad break these days

[@dustinwatkins7843]

looked up this so called artist-no such person.Take off the womans hat also.

[@FigaroHey]

Who names a child Moist? And does it have anything to do with the roll of toilet paper next to his bed?

[@Nietieismyname]

His name is Moishe. It is a Jewish name.

[@MshAhmxiO1]

Someone who is clueless about cultural diversity and doesn't hear correctly. lol

[@jankay8569]

lmao

[@D-me-dream-smp]

It’s a Jewish name and I love it (when it’s pronounced correctly).

[@catehansen2058]

Figaro, it's a Jewish name and it's not Moist. It's spelled Moishe, as far as I know. Perhaps you should check the gaps in your knowledge before criticising? Surprised nobody else has pointed out this silliness before now.
