I hated this show at first because of the cutesy music and the way they seemed to be making light of a real mental disorder. But then I saw some of the most disturbing episodes of the American show and came back here 😬
Don't have a dealer sell your teapots is the lesson I learned from this episode. She could have made more with a tag sale and wouldn't have had to wrap them all!
Collectors and hoarders can be one in the same. Hoarding amounts to when you accumulate too much of anything and run out of space and money. Hoards aren't always indiscriminate piles of stuff.
I definitely think she could have made a lot more on those teapots. I'm sure there were some very valuable ones in that collection. She was extremely amiable about cleaning out her things and I think she was ready to unclutter her life. When you have so much, you can't see the forest for the trees.
It's not nice to think the worst about people but....how do we know that Curtis didn't get some kickbacks? She didn't even make 400 pounds for 300 teapots, some of which were very expensive. She was ripped off. I agree with the commenters: she could have made more in a garage sale or at least give them to a Church for a Bazaar.
To let those teapots go for 250.00 is crazy! She could of sold them individually for much more.....grateful the grand daughter spoke up about the Murano fish. Keepsake that meant something for her.
It's too bad no one really wanted to take just few months to help this lady make the thousands of dollars she deserved for her collection. This was so DISAPPOINTING. I feel for her but I am happy she has a less cluttered space. 💕
True, and it is now all over the net how this program aided in the thieving and sale of this poor couples items, Sad, and nothing has been done to fix the obvious larceny committed
1/29/23...I have finally decided to DECLUTTER by going thru ALL my various collections + take pix + pick/choose 1 or 2 of my BEST/MOST SENTIMENTAL ITEMS from each collection. I am keeping my collection of auto license plates from all my vehicles since my 1st car when I was 15 1/2 yrs old. Plus I am keeping my collection of tea-for-one ceramic pieces. I will remember my lovely items + have pix that take up NO SPACE. As you get older...retire + move from your larger home to a more reasonable smaller retirement home...you find out that NO family members or friends want your collections...so you must decide WHAT to do with your possessions. Just remember all the ppl who gave you some of these items as gifts 🎁...+ the times when you "found" 1 of your items @ a flea market/thrift store/estate sale. AND hope that your sold/donated items will find another home 🏡 when they will be admired/loved/collected for the next collector!
What just happened right now?? Fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time!! I saw a tea pot that I would've paid 100.00 alone for. All day long!!! 😲 That guy really did her wrong!!!
I personally would have kept a few tea pots, the most interesting, beautiful rare ones and just fill up 1 glass cabinet :) getting rid of them ALL seems a little bit drastic. There’s no harm keeping a little collection
Curtis, the first thing that pops into his mind is the runoff to a dealer with his tail between his legs and take just about any offer usually a poor offer
The fish were worth a great deal, good the major ones remained in the family. The Meson plate was also worth money. It matters who you try to sell to regarding dealers. Too bad she didn't sell through Ruby Lane or other upscale internet sites.
The so called "expert" Curtis has no idea at all. I know this lady wanted to get rid of the teapots but she should have researched first for it is surprising how much even modern teapots are going for. Too late for her but the chap in Glasgow will make a very good profit.
The teapot lady is a collector not a hoarder. There is a huge difference. Also he sold them for less than £1 each. I sell loads of second hand ornaments and I get more than that when I sell in bulk. Some of the nicer items can fetch a lot more and it’s worth selling those individually. Yes it takes longer to sell those, but the special items don’t take up much room.
Yep, no sense leaving it all for someone else to clear out after we die. That's what I've been thinking, I don't have a bad hoarding problem. That said, I do have stuff that needs to go, I am just getting started.
A first cousin was a collector of all things chicken, I would guess several hundred. When she passed away a couple of years ago, her daughters gathered those chickens, keeping the ones they wanted and took the rest to her first memorial service telling those gathered that they were welcome to take one or two pieces or more to remind them of her. What was left they gathered up and took to her second service and made the same announcement to those gathered, when it was all over they had very few left to donate. I thought this was an absolute fantastic way of dealing with a collection. One of her daughters collects all things Coke Cola, but they will not be giving that collection away, they plan to sell it when the time comes.
Eileen is brilliant. A lovely lady. She's not attached to her stuff, it really seems it was pushed on her. I remember when a cousin decided I should collect owls, and then everyone was bringing me porcelain and stone owls from their travels. eventually I gave the whole lot to charity.
Shes a serious collector. Give it pride of place, ppl will pay to come see , if displayed correctly. I guess it is all how you look at life. Just my view.
I'm an artist, have been for 64 of my almost 70 years, and I don't tend to "do this"! I like a clean, uncluttered, easy-to-walk through home, and I keep it CLEAN and uncluttered AAT!!!
@@suzismith9681 I agree. You can't appreciate all of that, sell it to someone who would love it. I just came across a young artist who painted one of the most beautiful pictures, I have ever seen. I can't stop thinking about it. It's on my Twitter page. It's depth has no end.
I think they should have separated the more unique and fun pots and sold via online, and THEN sold the generic ones as a lot to someone that might do all the flipping work, or have a yard sale. The work they spent cleaning and wrapping and all that bubble wrap and tape supplies on top of that are worth more than the paltry amount they got. Absolutely swindled by this so called ‘expert’ who i think really missed a lot of things and also undersold that jacket and absolutely everything else too. I know its a show and they have time constraints but yikes. Everyone he sold too came out of this well ahead and the poor collectors got severely taken advantage of.
@@madhatter909 The collectors could have made a LOT more money -- but what was their goal and how much energy to achieve it? Selling online would have meant that the teapot collection would be around for years! The teapot collection would be your main preoccupation and you'd have to pack up each pot carefully to MAIL. These people wanted the stuff OUT of their house. Be realistic. The dealers never give you top price because THEY are the ones who will store it until each one is sold -- and that might take years too. Sure there must have been other valuable teapots in that collection. If the fellow who has such a good "eye" had done it another way he could have picked them out and sent them to auction, for example and donated the rest to charity shops. The packing up could have been much less thorough that way.
I visited a lady once whose walls if the entire house were covered with custom shelving, floor to ceiling, to display her salt and pepper collection. Thousands of salt and pepper sets!
I'm just at the part when the teapot lady opened her shed. i was drooling over the beautiful transferware, and drooling over the many wonderful and just plain cute, teapots they showed inside her house.
@@peterhigginsson9875 they often are in shows like these since the producers just want a fast sale to the point where the hoarder is pushed to almost trow everything away as fast as possible. It's to hurry things up to just get finished for the production of the show. It's just for the ratings. They don't actually help any of these people. The hoarders are back to hoarding once these are done.
Yes, but selling them one by one on ebay is time consuming. She wanted to get rid of them quickly. Dealers need to make a profit, so they will offer less.
lt would seem there would be many more sellable items amount all that stuff. Selling to a place that resells brings the lowest price. Bet the teapot collection would have a decent resale value. At least it is a collection and not a hodgepodge of trash. Buyers of the tea pots will cherish them.
Many comments are saying that the teapots should have brought in more money, that the teapots are worth much more than the money for which they were sold. When I had an auction after the death of a parent in 2010 there were some very good items that brought in not very much money. The auctioneer told me that anymore people want to go to Walmart to buy things for their home. Too here in the U.S. and maybe elsewhere people don't want the family silver or china or the nice furniture their grandparents had. Part of this may be due to the popularity of minimalism and decluttering and the Kon Mari Method and Swedish Death Cleaning. If no one wants the teapots then can we really say they're valuable?
You can be sure there’s many people who would’ve given more than one pound for a vintage teapot, specially if they’re rare items. She made one tenth of the money she would’ve made if she sold them on her own.
That poor woman with the teapots got ripped off big time. Not even a $1.00 each for them. I'm aware she wasn't even in it for the money, however she should have e gotten a good deal. Sometimes the people I've seen on these shows don't even come close to getting a fair price.
I totally agree! I mean if they wanted to give their items away they could have done that on their own. It’s like the sellers don’t even try to get a good deal for these people. I think $350-500 for 100 Teapots to 3 different buyers would have been better
You know, I’ve never met a teapot I didn’t like. Fortunately, I maybe only have 8 or 9. I don’t actually collect; just accumulated these over the last 60 years. But I do love them…
I can't help but notice that a lot of the hoarders are grossly overweight and/or disabled. A lot of the hoarding may just result from people being physically unable to keep up with the cleaning.
Definitely Disability and chronic pain is a huge factor, especially if you live on your own. My own Husband has become physically disabled, and when you cannot physically maintain a household, everyday things pile up around whatever you own. In our case, I am not disabled, so am able to keep up things for the both of us, but not everybody is so lucky to live with an able bodied person.
I'm both overweight, and unable to do a great many things myself due to a severe shoulder injury seven years ago, plus I'm almost 70. I do NOT, and never have, hoard anything at all, and I'm constantly clearing things out----if something is given to me, and I didn't ask for it, it leaves my apartment as soon as the "gifter" is no longer in the area. I refuse to keep things I never asked for.
There are other considerations though. She doesn't care about the money really, she just wants space. being rid of the whole lot in one go without the hassle of online auctions can be worth it. In decluttering events like these, it's really better to grab what you can get just to clear the space. Otherwise, the clutter never really goes away.
You don't get rich buying things for resale. There are always damaged things or things that won't sell in a lot, plus you have fees, taxes and packing expenses that come out of profits.
My dad used to embarrass me when I was little and tell every waitperson at every restaurant this dumb joke: an old Indian squaw once drank so much tea….she drowned in her own Teepee

I love John and Patricia. :D Runes, pentacle necklace, mountains of crafting scraps, beloved books (and a slight issue with collectibles, shhh). My kinda people. :D
I would have kept the cake mixer and games. I'd get rid of nic knacks, books, excess clothes, excess bedding, kitchen plates. Hope the tea pot lady spends her money on cream white paint. Freshen up the house from that orange colour. Out with the old in with the new
The teapot lady had a clean kind of clutter and I think she had a good sense of design, She was very agreeable. Plus she was just ready to clear out her house. I think she did well.
These people are not messy people. They just continued a passion into their older years. I'm not opposed to people filling up their attic or even a room not used. It doesn't have to do anything as these people keep saying. A mountain of unused stuff. It's so wrong to shame these people to get rid of most of their cherished items when they could be more flexible and concentrate on the living areas. I was proud of the honest way the two portrayed how they felt in the first place. They were both knowing it needed dealt with. I just feel there should've been more bending on the part of the cleaners and less rude comments.
10/14/21....Ileen has some REALLY lovely tea pots. FUNNY---My name is Eileene & I collect tea-for-one sets of all designs. I started about 2010 & now have prob 40.... I am retired so I am taking pix + making a complete inventory b/c I have moved to FL so I need to write a new will..... I used to drink tea but I have NEVER used any of my tea-for-one sets except for display. It's been so much fun to FIND my pretties wherever I go....
Having an internet he sales everything On the First available auction? I do understand that the main point is to declutter the house but selling sth on internet is not Such an effort, isn't it?
this show is not really hoarders like the really bad kind its more people who have nice collections of things that got a bit out of control. This ladies teapots are so nice and she did at least have them tidy. I confess I have a teapot weakness but with no room in the house I pot plants in them outside lol so I just get ones that are cheap but look cute.
She should have gotten more for her teapots and fishes cause in the end the buyers gonna make a whole lot of money. This just show as if they are helping but they barely are. Just glad the decluttering is doing good for them. I guess they didn't hear about the antiques road show, eBay or Amazon. .
Extreme very easy when you’re not organized it’s very easily buy two or more of each you have to get organize your things know what you have also label your things you know what you have before you make the mistake by two or more
@@judylloyd7901 I wished I took my child hood doll from moms place. I never thought she would toss it. So sentimental and I would have thought she wouod know better
I am from the USA. Are these shows popular? The reason I ask is because most of the "experts" are just awful. The "designers" do not know how to design properly, and the "expert dealers" think nothing of selling items that are worth much more. Plus, this "expert dealer" gave a price for the fish that is really to high, causing her to think she would get more for them. I found many of these glass fish at Hobby Lobby (American crafts store) for $20 only. I already watched two of these shows, and I can watch no more. Just awful.
If the RUclips eBay sellers are to be believed, anything Murano is worth $$. I was cringing the whole time as vintage games like that are very collectible too! At least the homeowners were pleased with the end result. That's what counts.

Don't have a dealer sell your teapots is the lesson I learned from this episode. She could have made more with a tag sale and wouldn't have had to wrap them all!
Even at 10 each, that's more than 1000 pounds
A pound for each item was not worth all the time and effort to wrap and pack the items to sell. 😢
Why are you calling the teapot lady a hoarder?
Anyone else with this large collection would be called a COLLECTOR!!
I’ve noticed that the wealthy are considered eccentric collectors, whereas those who aren’t rich are “mentally ill hoarders”. I love her collection.
I think maybe when it starts taking over their house/life. And as Alicia said, the rich have enough space to keep em...while the not so rich don't.
Collectors and hoarders can be one in the same. Hoarding amounts to when you accumulate too much of anything and run out of space and money. Hoards aren't always indiscriminate piles of stuff.
I love tea pots. But only have the one
I am crying over the Murano fish.Delighted some were kept.His valuation on them was so far out.
I can't finish watching. He gave her teapots away. So sad.
I definitely think she could have made a lot more on those teapots. I'm sure there were some very valuable ones in that collection. She was extremely amiable about cleaning out her things and I think she was ready to unclutter her life. When you have so much, you can't see the forest for the trees.
She got taken!
I agree. She got taken. I don't think this show truly helps get the correct amount of money for these items. Not a fan.
It's not nice to think the worst about people but....how do we know that Curtis didn't get some kickbacks? She didn't even make 400 pounds for 300 teapots, some of which were very expensive. She was ripped off. I agree with the commenters: she could have made more in a garage sale or at least give them to a Church for a Bazaar.
It would have been so much better if they had an estate sale for her to sell these teapots. She was definitely taken@@ruthmaier755
The tea pot collection should have been sold in lots. She could have made so much more money. Very sad.
At some point, the beauty of a collection turns into an eyesore of a mess

I'm kinda jelly of her collection
Me too!!
💜 same.
He could have sold the games for more
Right, but ebay is so much work.
I loved that plate and it reflected her love of color represented in her design! Great lady!!
Fair deal; less than 1 pound per teapot ?!?😱😰
I know, right? He undersold everything.
There are other considerations though. She doesn't care about the money really, she just wants space. being rid of the whole lot in one go without the hassle of online auctions can be worth it. In decluttering events like these, it's really better to grab what you can get just to clear the space. Otherwise, the clutter never really goes away.
You don't get rich buying things for resale. There are always damaged things or things that won't sell in a lot, plus you have fees, taxes and packing expenses that come out of profits.
@@annjones9635 😀Well then you should look up Lavender’s clothesline!
Bubble wrap and tape expensive
The guy needs to work on his bargaining technique, not open up with "so I'm trying to get rid of this, give me a price" 😐
The teapots are displayed nicely. just pick your best 20 of them by categories.
This guy doesn't try to get real money for the client.
All that work of cleaning, wrapping, and tapeing the teapots was just rubish. Only to come out with 307£.
My dad used to embarrass me when I was little and tell every waitperson at every restaurant this dumb joke:
an old Indian squaw once drank so much tea….she drowned in her own Teepee
Ah! Cringe Dad humour.
Mine tells Russian jokes in English to service people (restaurant workers, super market cashiers, gas station attendants). They make zero sense in English
@@a697ag that made me laugh. Russian jokes in english.
Thats actually pretty funny.
@Elle D... That's a good one too.
@@earnold1896 please allow me to give you an example of "this does not translate"
Patients are playing hide and go seek in a dystrophy ward
"Boris! Where are you?"
"Right here, behind the broomstick"
"Hey! You broke the rules! We agreed not to hide behind thick objects"
Dystrophy is a disease which causes the body to waste away. I don't know why this is funny but ... my Russians think it's hilarious!
Irene is such a character. She is lovely. Must be fun to talk to her. Lol.
I love tea pots I would have bought them all.!! Most were worth 25.00 or more a piece . What a shame.
I love John and Patricia. :D Runes, pentacle necklace, mountains of crafting scraps, beloved books (and a slight issue with collectibles, shhh). My kinda people. :D
I think the teapot lady needs tell her family she wants start collecting gold bars lol❤❤❤😂😂
I would have kept the cake mixer and games. I'd get rid of nic knacks, books, excess clothes, excess bedding, kitchen plates. Hope the tea pot lady spends her money on cream white paint. Freshen up the house from that orange colour. Out with the old in with the new
I believe they painted it that color after, in England decorated means painted
@@roselee4445👍
The teapot lady had a clean kind of clutter and I think she had a good sense of design, She was very agreeable. Plus she was just ready to clear out her house. I think she did well.
Its only hoarding if your house isnt big enough
Did you know Jackie Chan is a bit Tea Pot collector also?
Know you do.
Having a love of teapots, I would have found it very difficult to have let all those lovlies go. BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION
The teapots are clean and tidy. It is really charming. Not for me though but I appreciate it.
I can happily adopt all those tea pots they are lovely! And the craft 😍
Teapot Lady is more Collector than Hoarder to me.
Smart daughter saving the fish
The house was awfully bland after the clear-out.
I thought so too!!!!! I said boring empty house
Totally agree.
Which one?
These people are not messy people. They just continued a passion into their older years. I'm not opposed to people filling up their attic or even a room not used. It doesn't have to do anything as these people keep saying. A mountain of unused stuff. It's so wrong to shame these people to get rid of most of their cherished items when they could be more flexible and concentrate on the living areas. I was proud of the honest way the two portrayed how they felt in the first place. They were both knowing it needed dealt with. I just feel there should've been more bending on the part of the cleaners and less rude comments.
I wish I could have brought all the tea pots. I collect tea pots, that's my hobby, so pretty to my eyes.
Not so bad. It is only bad when one starts storing jars of urine and zip lock baggies full of orange peels.
At least their homes are not run over with garbage and debris on the floors
c'est un voleur celui qui rachète les théières et les poissons de Murano!!!
All crafted out they look happy to me they just need organization
Do all hoarders have a game of Monopoly?
Poor Magnolia
I love her teapots!! 🫖
Sale !! Sell the vintage ones
Look under the pots always have a stamp...most of those pots are from historism...
"Happy to get rid of" and "teapots" do not belong in the same sentence! I collect them and right now, I just couldn't part with any of them!
10/14/21....Ileen has some REALLY lovely tea pots.
FUNNY---My name is Eileene & I collect tea-for-one sets of all designs. I started about 2010 & now have prob 40....
I am retired so I am taking pix + making a complete inventory b/c I have moved to FL so I need to write a new will.....
I used to drink tea but I have NEVER used any of my tea-for-one sets except for display.
It's been so much fun to FIND my pretties wherever I go....
Having an internet he sales everything On the First available auction? I do understand that the main point is to declutter the house but selling sth on internet is not Such an effort, isn't it?
Maybe for you is simple and easy thing to do to sell on internet, many elder people find it difficult and patient consuming
The "serial killer" t-shirt
I thought it said that too. It said serial chiller 😎
Not sure what that even means.
It said "serial CHILLER," not killer.
@@GjpgrD He's chill- laid back, relaxed
@@maroulio2067 I suspected as much.
this show is not really hoarders like the really bad kind its more people who have nice collections of things that got a bit out of control. This ladies teapots are so nice and she did at least have them tidy. I confess I have a teapot weakness but with no room in the house I pot plants in them outside lol so I just get ones that are cheap but look cute.
She should have gotten more for her teapots and fishes cause in the end the buyers gonna make a whole lot of money. This just show as if they are helping but they barely are. Just glad the decluttering is doing good for them. I guess they didn't hear about the antiques road show, eBay or Amazon. .
I think she should get more. I am not from GB, maybe that's the market.
She still kept the coffee pots ☕
The Normans always had many fine teapots .
Looks like Eileen has been to Cape Town, I have the same Table Mountain Dutch porcelain shoe
Collecting stuff is stupid thats what i used to do my cabbagebatchdolls no more it gets out of hand
I SURE DO LOVE THOSE TEA POTS id keep em all..lol
Ah I too am a teapot hoarder and would have loved to take these 🤣
?🤪
Extreme very easy when you’re not organized it’s very easily buy two or more of each you have to get organize your things know what you have also label your things you know what you have before you make the mistake by two or more
Is it me of does he sale everything so cheaply
Curtis is far from an expert...he doesnt seem to have much experience at all
Hope she offered tea pots to her daughter before tossing.
Her daughter would have asked if she'd wanted any.
@@judylloyd7901 I wished I took my child hood doll from moms place. I never thought she would toss it. So sentimental and I would have thought she wouod know better
I am from the USA. Are these shows popular? The reason I ask is because most of the "experts" are just awful. The "designers" do not know how to design properly, and the "expert dealers" think nothing of selling items that are worth much more. Plus, this "expert dealer" gave a price for the fish that is really to high, causing her to think she would get more for them. I found many of these glass fish at Hobby Lobby (American crafts store) for $20 only. I already watched two of these shows, and I can watch no more. Just awful.
If the RUclips eBay sellers are to be believed, anything Murano is worth $$. I was cringing the whole time as vintage games like that are very collectible too! At least the homeowners were pleased with the end result. That's what counts.
Gosh I love UK lingo!!!!
307 pounds is not fair at all!!!
Teapot rip off. What a shame
