Lifetime collection in one day! I buy a BIG estate collection what will I find?

[@randyw6288]

When you said $7,000 I just about fainted. However, seeing what is in it, makes me think anyone that has put together this collection deserved a fair offer. I watch you-tube video's often where they seem to pride themselves on how much they can get for nothing. I applaud your effort to be fair to your sellers.

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

Well said

Keep in mind that's CAD$7000; about 5000 USD.

Hi Alex and Melissa 🙋🏽.

I'd want to read every single comic book from those boxes before I'd sell them on! That is quite a few hours of enjoyment right there.

Still have all of mine plus my mad magazines.

[@urbanurchin5930]

@@stubstoo6331 I was not much of a comic book reader when I was a kid - however, I did have a pretty good collection of Mad Magazines. My real collection was the Mad series of paper back books. I know that I must have had at least a hundred of them. When I went into the military.....they all disappeared......

[@kathyvenable8793]

You, Alex, are a wealth of knowledge. You amaze me with your adventures. . No other videos even compare to what you produce. These toys bring back lots of memories for each of us. Can’t wait for your next adventure.

[@b.slocumb7763]

Definitely always save the paper ephemera and “unsellable” comics and sell them as a lot or give them away locally to artists and makers who can use them in their work. Even Stephen may be able to use them in a piece of art, like as a collage background for one of his characters.

[@LolaMarigold]

I thought that too.

[@mcwatersd]

OMG so many memories in there for me. Had that jack in the box and tiddly winks set. I was one of those kids who had to know how things worked so took jack out of the box put him back in ran off to show Mom . Cranked it up and Jack flew out of the box and Mom jumped about a foot. That is an awesome collection of medals. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤

Can you work as one of those people who are hired to go through people's belongings and find things to sell - for them? I think it's called estate liquidator. I guess that would include cars and furniture - not as much fun as these boxes! 😀

[@snowflow07]

So disappointed you didn’t show tin dollhouses. I collect Renwal and Ideal dollhouse furniture which I just gave to my daughter. We bonded when she was 9-15 y/o. She also got my Archie comic books. Son inherited all the Legos with instruction booklets. I still look for unique miniatures to put in my printer trays. My Katie Keene comics and my huge paper doll collection was given to a friend. I also collected all sorts of items made from paper, especially children items. When you rumble thru paper items my stomach starts to hurt. Mostly enjoyed the collection of military pubs, buttons, etc. I recently retired from the Dept of Veterans Affairs and had a huge bulletin board loaded with patches, badges, pins, etc. I found in antique stores which found a home in my office. Loved the brass button holder used in cleaning brass buttons. That I had never seen before. Loved the Coke truck & Spearmint gum truck. 😊🇺🇸

As a child, I found the metal dollhouses disappointing. They were "cold", with the room contents stamped on the metal walls and the furniture rubbery and all the same color.

This reminds me of when I used to do this. I always found stuff in box lots to keep for my collection and it helped my saving account when I retired and moved to the Philippines. It does make me wish I could still be doing this as it was always a lot of fun. I mostly sold at toy shows so always got to see a lot of cool stuff and talk to a lot of people about what they had to sell. I was never going to get rich but it was an awesome hobby. There is a lot of cool stuff here in this lot of toys.

30:25 The wire is only in Hong Kong made Hot Wheels and also reproduced later. The fact the wheels are on white plastic bearings is the best way to date a Hot Wheels to the first few years.

28:05 above your had at this time is probably the second WW1 medal to go with the pair of the first one. Check and make sure they are the same person as it’s better to keep them together instead of separate. Also check if the tags go with the pair as they will make a desirable addition.

My grandparents kept all of my dad and Uncle's toys from the fifties and when I was born in 74 they gave them to me. I took really good care of them just like they did, but then my only sibling was born in 84. He was so ruff on everything that nothing survived.
