Inside an Antique Dealer's Vintage Estate Sale Hoard Before It Sells!

How will we ever get this house ready for an estate sale this weekend?! That's the key question in this video, where we show you an old Spokane, Washington antique dealer's home that's full of whimsey and surprise...and a ton of antique and vintage deals!
We're literally uncovering things not seen in years in this house! A 1930s stove hides under a sheet, and what lurks within it? An old trunk offers old clothes...and a nice 1970s afghan. From a fun 1940s buckboard to a 1950s Marx Construction Camp, this house is filled with fun...along with a million little items in categories that are eye-poppingly vast! Cafe ware, post cards, bronze medallions and pins galore, a room full of books, a room full of childhood characters and original Star Wars items make this a place to marvel.
How are we pricing? Any way we can! (No, seriously, there's so much we know we can't price it all.) We're focusing on a safe and easier to shop setup as the house explodes out into the yard, an outbuilding and all over to make sure everyone gets a good look at all the vintage things that are here.
We are excited to get this sale going, and so glad to share the preview with you! If you're in the Spokane area, please stop by and enjoy this fun and unique estate sale...which we are so happy to enjoy with our online viewers too!

I can’t believe you don’t have a bigger following, you are like an encyclopedia of vintage & antiques.

[@Chereese0808]

I think what it is , is that viewers forget to subscribe. It happens often on KZbin channels unfortunately. I so agree. George is fantastic at what he does. A sweetie too!

[@moniquemangin5470]

How does a person find out about these estate sales? I’m in the area and am so sad I missed it. Also, what happens to the stuff that doesn’t sell? Thanks, love your channel

[@emptychair8141]

He has 57 thousand followers . That's not a bad following I think.

[@janetpogue4970]

Share his channel with a few friends !!

[@ValerieAbbott-on1mr]

Wow George. This is quite scary. Don't ever get to this stage where it's unmanageable. We have sorted a couple of houses for relatives and it can be quite daunting. 💖

[@deborahnuttall8147]

I am totally overwhelmed just watching... anxiety level is rising 😳

[@cherylmellblom5471]

My kids comment(complain) about my collecting. I should show them this video and maybe they would shut up!

[@rhondacrouse73]

Wow! This sale is overwhelming. I cannot imagine the amount of work you will put into this sale. Cannot wait to see the outcome. ❤ JoAnn

[@MsWDWFAN1]

That stove is stunning! It's pristine! That house is overwhelming! There were so many items and pieces! Getting that estate sale ready was an extreme amount of work! I know you said the woman was an antique dealer but it looks like she was a bit of a hoarder too! How did she get around! 🤯

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

I wish I could go to this sale. I would even love to help you get ready. I live for these kinds of sales.

[@Chereese0808]

They could probably use you too. That's a whole lot of items. Wish I were there in my old hometown too.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So fantastic! I wish you could've been there

[@llmifg]

More power to ya, George. This is a huge undertaking, glad you have some help! Thank you for taking some time to show us. Good luck!

[@george.carrasco]

Fun video George! Thanks for sharing!

[@FossilForwardFinds]

This house is a dream! Unfortunately I am in NY lol

[@denisemcnabb]

Wow! That’s a lot of work guys.

[@LauraMe...]

Wow! I guess it could pay to focus or specialize if you aren't going to sell as much. But of course i would come spend the 3 days just looking. If i was in better health I'd volunteer to help sort for the education! 😅

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I imagine it would be good to specialize in that way, but I can’t do it!

[@ginahawks_nest2608]

We atarted an estste sale for a family.member a few years ago , first couple of days went well then tempers started to flare . Expenses grew as dumpster delivered and storage buildings were rented . Relationships desentigrated as oldsrers rung their hands in disbelief that their retirement collections were worthless due to low qualilty items they felt would be expensive antiques someday . Even items that might be worth salvage had damage and bad storage issues . In the end , 1/2 went to thrift stores , 1/4 paid for the whole messy process and 1/4 was trashed .( add personal $ for landfill fees ) . Maybe elder apartments with limited storage and a family member with an eye on the checking account would help these type of family breakdowns ....long winded , but lived thru the fiasco .

[@erinnkemp]

Aww man. Lucky you George. I want to be able to pick thru😮❤

[@persiphonehellecat]

Amazing sale! Wrong coast!

[@MailboxMemoriesAshli]

The postcards!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I’m a postcard dealer in Arkansas. Wish I could get to the sale and make you an offer for the whole collection. 😢

[@sherripettigrew]

Wow George your friend had some super interesting stuff! What a time capsule of wonderfulness.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes it was!

[@gellerkyahoo]

OMG, I love that place. I noticed at the end that the house itself looks to be Frank Lloyd Wright style. Your friend must have been very interesting and had a good eye. I would snag up so much of that stuff, but alas, I'm in New Port Richey FL. Not much interesting here, you know. Please let us know if you bring any of the overflow to FL for flea markets or shows down here. Good luck with that sale!

[@lynnedelacy2841]

Love the way you are calm and collected about this mammoth task - what a mountain to climb Id love to come to the sale but the 3,000 + miles makes it not possible! As an aside I rather like the carpets !

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I like the carpets too! I have no choice to be calm and collected, no point in panicking...though it was close. I wish you were closer!

[@sarahj.8372]

Wow oh wow,,,incredible,,,I agree on the cork frame combo with arts and crafts now. LOL, I had business breakfast meetings at the old last Whistling Pig in Lake Oswego before that area became a new outdoor mall thing which the Californians are doing here in snow country which is so DUMB to me..cutting up our early walking small mall..George this is fantastic as are you.

[@laraemitchell9064]

You guys really earn your money. That’s a lot of work. So much to go through and organize. Good luck with the sale!

[@georgiamoon7513]

Wow,thought I had lots of collectibles,nothing compared to this. I am in Midwest would love toshop😮

[@ElsieBF]

Hi George! If the Ferndinand the Bull doesn’t sell, please let me know.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi , Elsie! Sadly he's gone but it's good to see you here and if I find another, I'll let you know

[@valarieallen4845]

OH how I wish I was in the area, I could spend days looking through all this interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing. Hope the sale is/was a great success.

[@bruiserbuk]

The scale of that collection made me feel nauseous. I can't imagine the sadness that makes a person spend their life assembling such an unmanageable hoard.

[@scarter8137]

Hey George! I am just overwhelmed by watching 🤗 Such a hoard of various items to sort thru a lot of time involved. I do not envy you guys. Aww, the wood dog would have been good for Jocelyn’s dog sale 😃 Seems you really need a couple of weekend sales. Good Luck on the Sale!

[@angierogers2483]

My grandma ran the men's department at the crescent inn Spokane until she passed. Her name was Lois boutwell

[@aw2910]

You are so articulate! This is my first video of yours to watch and I was so impressed. Great video, thanks for sharing with us.

[@charlenegirouard901]

George I surely don’t know how you get so much into a day you must move like Superman take care love your stuff 😊

[@catherinedileo7393]

That is the estate sale from heaven. I would drive Cross country to Go to That Estate Sale If I Could..WOW

[@patricialester2416]

I don't know how you're going to get all that moved and sold out of there just in 3 days , I hope you do though that is an amazing feat , unbelievable🙏🙏

[@richkroberts]

Hi George, what a house! I would have anxiety if I was tasked with getting that place ready for a sale. What a lot of work! Good luck with the sale.

[@Rebecca-le9hn]

OMG - my heart is racing! Wish I was in Spokane. So many great things.

[@chrisasling]

Love it!!! Wish you could send me some boxes of postcards!!

[@michelleraney3577]

WOW! You do have your work cut out for you! It looks like the lady spent her life buying and not selling much!

[@kimrichards1007]

Whoa! Eyes and brain OVERLOAD! But what fun discoveries! Would love to come to that sale. Almost need a football field to set that up….😉

[@dlittle7983]

There are a lot of different items in that house. What a work to shift everything out. Im wondering, if you find something that you really like. Could you buy it? ❣️

[@Treasurehunter1980]

I live in Illinois and would drive cross country for that sale. Wow lots a great items..

[@joannedufour8514]

Wondering if you have to keep watch for stealing, especially with that many things? Hoping you have a team helping!

[@janetpogue4970]

Hi George Fans , let's all Share the video with a friend. A good way to thank George !

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! I have a signed photo of the Cisco Kid. Duncan Renaldo actually came to the hospital when I was born, and gave the photo to mom for me. That 1930s range was in fantastic condition. That was a nice one! Geez! That was a lot of stuff to go through and price! I liked the Mae West glass. I really liked that showcase. Holy Blessed Mother, at the books! I'd be lost in that space for quite some time. Was that a ceramic Bugs Bunny bank, on that top shelf? I would've been all over that cartoon roadrunner figure. George, I would have gotten a bad case of the "vapours", if I had to handle all of that! Kudos to you!!! Thanks for the tour!!! Lots of really interesting things there, for sure.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Duncan Renaldo was at the hospital where you were born? What a great story! Your first collectible, and you weren't even a day old. The Bugs Bunny was just a planter, but a good one. The vapours have set in and I only now am recovering!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomadYep, mom said he was there on some sort of tour, I think, and he came to the hospital to check out the newborns. I think he gave a signed photo to all of the new mothers.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS wow that’s a fun story!

[@chrisk7626]

I would come to the sale but I'm too thrown off by the railing now😢😂

[@Chereese0808]

How fantastic is that to have helpers installimg safety hand rails. Shout out to them. 👍💞😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

They were so amazing and I was very thankful!

[@VickieV1333]

Tons of good stuff! Unbelievable job before you!!

[@vintagestufflover7020]

I help set estate sales and it can be very overwhelming but thrilling at the same time. My best find was a bag of super old marbles and some speakers from the 70's (I can't remember the brand) that the customer said didn't work. Yes, they worked and sold for $1000.

[@lenaray6257]

We use to take home a bag of krystals after shopping farmers market in Atlanta Ga

[@Ireneginori]

Goodness George! What a fun sale! I Love estate sales like that. Lots of great stuff to dig through ! Wish I lived closer. Florida is very far. Have fun!

[@vickipoore3595]

Holy cow! What overwhelming fun!

[@Sass-Glass]

Hey george...if youre doing this estate sale, im sorry your friend has passed. But im wondering, is this sale actually this weekend or another weekend coming up? I want to come to this one too since i had such a good time at her other sale. Will you give out address somewhere? Thanks George. Hope to see you there.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

713 W York Ave, Spokane. This weekend! Saturday 9-3, Sunday 10-2

[@skilgore9579]

So much stuff! Your helpers seem invaluable with all they’ve seemingly done before you arrived. Hope you have a great turnout! You may have to extend your sale dates. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lauraschmidt2109]

My kind of sale- too bad I live in western NY 😢

[@donnamoseley3581]

WOW! This was a lot to go through! My sister & I had to clean my Aunt & Uncle’s house out & have an estate sale & that was a chore!! You are a pro!!!

[@cristinacp8720]

I hope I don't die with a hoard like this!

[@fluffyotter1601]

I was thinking the same……😂

[@hard-truthsbetter-than-swe6543]

it be selfish to leave a mess like that for your family to clean up.

[@banjobandit3270]

​@hard-truthsbetter-than-swe6543 the family is going to make so much money from all those treasures. I'm sure they don't mind

[@angelad.8944]

When my in laws passed away, we promised our own children that we would not do that to them. So far we are holding up our end of the bargain. Every year, we go through every out building and room of the house and do a purge. Some things, we just need time to emotionally separate from. @@hard-truthsbetter-than-swe6543

[@hard-truthsbetter-than-swe6543]

@@banjobandit3270 There was a family in my area where lady home was worst then this and her kids begged her to get rid of it and dont leave the mess to them and she kept ASSUMING it was about money. In the end the place went up in fire do to the hording and the fire department said the place basically was full of kindling. Sad part was the 2 places next to hers went up in smoke and people were hurt. Point is our actions effect others and we should never just assume. Its self centered what she did even from stand people lots poor people could use that stuff ,but she was hoarding it all.

[@lucybaker1808]

So much cool stuff! George, how do you prevent yourselves from getting over faced and overwhelmed when approaching a packed house to prepare for estate sale?

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Wow, just wow! I love the oven! My father had went almost identical to it, in his cabin on the Washougal river. It was original to the cabin, & it was in great working order. There was so much stuff in that house. I have mad respect for you & your team. It would be so overwhelming to me, I wouldn’t even know where to start. I love Spokane! My mom was born there & her family had a large homestead there with the most amazing farmhouse I have ever seen! I remember spending 3 weeks there in 1974 (I was 10), when the International World Fair was in Spokane. Great memories, thank you for sharing! 🫶✨

[@lisacates4185]

Me too,,am in the Pacific Northwest,, close to Mt baker,,one day you'll have a sale up here💗🎉

[@Jebbyfur61]

[@milehighmom4817]

I love listening to you while I list or pack or tag. You are such a wealth of knowledge and I find that even just listening I learn things because you do an amazing job of describing and presenting the history of items. Do you have a booth in KY? My family will be in the Owensboro area for the holidays and I’d love to stop by!

[@eunicehettenhausen3668]

WOW would I love to be there! So many fun and interesting things to go through. Really enjoy your videos.

I would love a bag of pins if you have any left over to buy.

[@sherireynolds1410]

Wow that would be an awesome sale to attend. Good luck with it, from Missouri.

I would love to see an after video to see how much is left!

[@rebahensley5323]

Where is this located. I would by the stove if reasonably priced.

at the end he says spokan, but I don't know how to spell it, sorry.

[@paulinesugarman7765]

You’re all doing such great work getting it ready. Wish I were closer so could come!

[@Dianehussaini]

I hope you have a very successful sale George! I’m sure you will because of all the wonderful treasures in that house. I loved seeing all the old games,toys,books and ephemera.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks so much, it was fun and very good!

O MY WORD!!!! Wouldn't I love to be there? You betcha. It is daunting for sure, and I see so much I would love to handle. Alas, I'm in Florida. Good luck George. 💚

[@janetd4862]

That looks overwhelming to me, but you’ve pulled it off before, so I’m sure you will again. Too bad you’re not closer so that I could attend, but then I really don’t need any more “stuff” in my house!

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

I wish I was closer! Like west coast!wow - what a sale!

Is the estate sale this weekend? Would love to go...

[@cecoya]

There is truly quite a bit of stuff there. I would love to come but I live about 3 states away. Happy digging and safe travels. Sell, sell, sell is the word for the weekend. lol Have a great day

[@lesliespradley8897]

You have done a great job. I would be so overwhelmed I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I heard you say since you are hosting the sale you can’t shop the sale. Why is that? I understand that it could be an ethical issue if you weren’t paying for things but if you saw something you wanted and you were paying for it wouldn’t that be OK? And, I was wondering what happens to all of the stuff that doesn’t sell. Good luck with everything.

[@wandaholzer7899]

This is so amazing! I’m in Alaska, but I’ve been to Spokane several time, would love to go there again to go to this sale. You are so incredible!! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experience. You are one fine dude!

[@misswildlife7905]

You will have to straddle the customers so it isn't a pain in the arse for them. Hopefully people brought enough cash instead of cards for this one. This is one of those that 3 or 4 shoppers need to come in and do a buy it of the entire house.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

They brought cash and we got an auctioneer to take the rest! We were very happy

[@agomodern]

I was very curious about that plate at 5:43 with the one eye on it, and then saw the Masonic mug and then I figured that made a lot of sense. You know the history of that plate or where it might have come from? (I just looked it up and it's indeed Masonic: Independent Order of Odd Fellows.) I went to an estate sale once and there were boxes thrown off of the second story balcony and the mountain of boxes actually reached up to the second floor. It was hundreds of boxes and looked like I had gone to the city dump. Got some good stuff out of that house though. That y-not pin back button was cute.

[@barbguerbe9936]

Amazing! Your friend had great taste! Thank you for sharing!

[@cecoya]

At 10:47 Pebbles looks like she is from pet cemetery actually lol. Love that enameled stove one of those would be great to have in working condition too.

[@OriginalNethead]

03:05 My sister had those sheets when we were kids. The stove is killer; I'd recondition that and use it. My grandmother's was 30s too, and worked perfectly until she died in 1979. Don't get one if you're scared of pilot lights. There's all sorts of stuff in that house that makes my fingers itch. I hope y'all give quantity discounts for people who buy cartloads!

[@OriginalNethead]

I would have let the kitty in early. Kitties like to chase critters. I'd have let her swipe the spiders, mice or other creepies that eat merch. Either that or I'd have had a new kitty if she needed a house. Didn''t look like she did.

[@kathleencallaghan4867]
