Score! Thanks for sharing Alex enjoyed seeing your finds.
I don't know if anyone else has already commented, but those vinyls are actually Chinese/Taiwanese imports. I speak/read Chinese fluently and I noticed the address on the back of the Joni Mitchell record was for a place in Taipei, Taiwan. Just an FYI! Super cool find.
These were produced for US soldiers stationed in Taiwan in the 1960s and 70s (by, e.g. the Liming record label), so it's possible that a member of the family served military duty there. They're not very rare, so they don't fetch a huge sum. Depends on which artist and LP, etc. You can always check on Discogs
In the 1960s we bought those contraband vinyls in Thailand, Taiwan and Japan and shared them around with all of our friends. Our family was stationed on the island of Guam.
So interesting!
Agreed. No Japanese hiragana mixed in the writing.
correct! tui , 👌
Dear Mr. Archbold.
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic purchases again. I wish you a lot of fun with your kids assembling all those Lego sets.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Always a kid at heart. Don't ever change.
9:24 Be still, my retail heart 🤗 That is a gorgeous register.
Your grandkids will have the neatest toys in the neighborhood!
When you went through the barbie case I had a flood of memories and smells flood over me. What a thrill. Oh to be 8 again. I had the airplane too.
I've got a question about the Barbie stuff. Is handmade Barbie clothing still valuable? My mama made all my Barbie clothes.
@@drfreud65 I have no idea there. Alex would know I imagine. I had home made clothes too. Even hand knit sweaters and skirts for Barbie.
Happy for you all for the direction your going.
Wow- great finds, and I can really see your relief now that you've decided to sell the store. You seem younger and happier today. Congratulations on listening to your heart and following your bliss!
not sold. renting out.

Again, he no longer has a store. He owns a building. Big difference.
My dad came home from Okinawa with a handful of records that he bought from there while stationed with the army. Elvis records galore, but there were So many others, too. My sister has them all now, and she still plays them on his original record player that he got as soon as he got home in 1969.
I still have records that I brought back from Okinawa in the early 70's.
Dear Alex, Melissa is a Saint! I get so stressed about packing up to move that I would go crazy if my hubby went garage saling to bring more stuff home. 🙂 I know it's your job and you did get cool stuff, but still.......she's amazing
I take care of my saint by doing this…
@@CuriosityIncorporated I know you do 🙂 and thanks for sharing your life with us
I'm sorry if my comment communicated negativity about you. I think none
I wish I could GET my hubby to go to garage sales with me. He has, finally, learned about vintage and/or antiques. He knows not to sit something on one of my antique sofa table, foyer entrance table, my grandmothers hutch that is decorated with primitive decor and is in our foyer. We have 3,000 sq ft plus a 2.5 car garage, 2 completely separate attics (strange) and a large yard. Our foyer is as large as most peoples bedrooms for their children and used to be 2 kids per room. This foyer has 2 full size closets on either side of the main front door as you walk into the house!
The actual primitive items I’ve purchased he knows not to misuse or even move them from the place I’ve set it. He has an entire, massive bedroom to keep his guitars, amps, microphones, etc, he also has a designated room downstairs for his office, yet he chooses to use the end table next to our brand new Lazy Boy recliners we waited 4 months to arrive. He stacks up papers and drives me 🦇 💩 insane! I eventually come through and sigh or growl lowly and he knows clear the area or I’m tossing it out.
@@Cello-Pam
It didn’t read negatively to me, at least. It read as complimentary to Melissa and your experience of just the general feeling of stress and overwhelm that accompanies moving!
Incredibly lucky to walk into that sale. Those are the ones you dream about! Thanks for sharing!
Over the weekend I found an Alessi stainless wine cooler with it's stand, a large Patricia Garrett pottery cabbage vase, a Michael Aram Kangaroo stainless and brass nut dish, a Bjorn Wiinblad pitcher, a Darlene Lucero pottery storyteller figure and last but not least.....the Pyrex mother lode. Yep, I'm right there with ya Alex.
That's a pretty awesome haul, my friend 😂
I love Alessi
That was a good weekend.
Randolph MacDonald may have known my father , he was RcAF WWII , those pics are priceless. I also had that Barbie ! 1963?
You seem in high spirits since deciding to sell the store and actually see more of your videos too. Nice! Have a great day
they didn't sell the store. Both buildings will be rented out.
@@lisamiller8174 you sure! Alex said he had a buyer lined up.
@@Louisefenner in a previous live, they said that they were not selling, after all. Both spaces will be leased out. A good move, as they retain ownership, and have a revenue stream from the rent.
@@lisamiller8174 Yeah but the store will no longer be in existence. Same thing
@@lisamiller8174 canadian real estate appreciation is unreal! in 20 years it will be worth 1 million more maybe 10 years ?
Hurray!! All the pieces. I remember the barbie clothes from 50s and 60s. I drooled over her outfits😄
My Santa couldn't afford Barbie so I had Tammie and Tressie growing up. Uh, I still have them. ☺☮
Oh that file cabinet is gorgeous! Early 70’s I worked in a Ben Franklin Dime Store. Used a cash register like yours! It was so fun! You find such great treasures in Canada!
Wow really great find Alex those toys take me back to my childhood especially the little people and you did a really good job with the spaceship it looks great thanks for sharing
My mom is 70 and still has her original Barbie in the case. She played with it, then we played with it as kids and so did my daughter. I'm hoping I have a granddaughter who can play with it someday too.
Barbie plane, little people airport, Tonka, Atari, legos out the wazoo..my whole childhood sold for pennies on the dollar 😳🥺😆 such a great find.
I just bought a Simon for my godson. I remembered them from my youth. Times haven’t changed that much though - he loves it! His mother less so, lol.
I have the original fisher price camper van with the boat on top and an aeroplane with fuel tank to fill it.. lots of figures too. My 7 year old son is autistic and used to just break any figures. These were perfect as the people just fitted into the holes and he has had years of fun with them, he still plays with them all now, even though he has moved on to playmobile and Lego figures now
Good haul Alex. I think these items should do well.
The cash register is beautiful! You are always finding great items - best of luck to you and your family on your new adventures.
The ring with the red carved stone looks like it could be cinnabar. Thanks for the Atari memories! I used to be right tolerable at Night Driver. :D Great to see you out picking and having fun again!
Omg I had the Barbie airplane lol
SCORE ✔️ That was a good pick.
BTW, my Barbie had a grass skirt too.
Wow, that barbie airplane brought back memories!!!
James Taylor and Bob Dylan were nice finds along with legos. Lots of fun!
Argh! You've killing your Christmas cactus! Love your show!!!😊
This sounds exciting so here I am. Good sunny ☀️ morning from Arizona 🌵 🌵 🌵
But, wait, there's More!!!😁 You have some great energy. Good vibes/Juju to your new adventures! Long time friend.😁
When I was young I found a Bob Dylan Highway 61 album that was a mono copy. When I showed it to an owner of a used record store he offered me a lot of money for it because the mono copy was so rare.
Wonderful video. Amazing Buys!! That Vintage Lego wow!! All of it is super duper Neat'O Brother Alexander. Thanks for sharing this great adventure 😀 😊 👍 ♥️🇨🇦🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯
I don't know which I'm more jealous of, the Barbie plane or the Lego!
What great finds especially the file cabinet & cash register.
What a great day shopping at garage sales!!! WOW!! ♥️🤗
11:14 That was one of the first bits of leggo I remember getting as a kid for Christmas. I still have it in a box at home, along with about 20 other original 70's space leggo kits.
We had Simon, mom got tired of it real fast. When the batteries died she didn't want to get more 😂
Nice finds.
You found some great things most of which I and my brothers use to have growing up in the 60s and 70s brought back some good memories . Thanks for sharing.
The register is AWESOME!
I show that file cabnit and thought Oh I hope he keeps that for his office The barbie with the shorter hair was my 1st barbie in the 60s still have her Great Find
That garage sale was selling my childhood. My eyes were as big as saucers. WOW.
The Barbie Friendship should go for a lot more than you think. (I did see the tail piece in there.) These are extremely rare, especially when they're complete and in really good condition. I've only seen one, and not in good shape at all, missing the seats and accessories, I can't remember what it went for, but it was a lot.
You can get that stone replaced. Any lapidary can help. Hope that it all sells before the move!
Very nice haul.
I have that Barbie Friendship Airplane. You are correct mid 70's, I think around 72 or so. I have most, but not all of my accessories. I may also have that Barbie in the yellow dress.
Love the cash register and the filing cabinet. Looks like tiger oak. Beautiful!
Oh my goodness! Love the old Beetle Bailey comic book! I remember the wooden Fisher Price people too! Love the Barbie airplane! I would have loved that when I was little! Love that cash register! Love the old Atari system! We had that when I was a teen! The only video game we had at home, was space invaders and Pac-Man!
The albums from Asia could've easily been picked up by a servicemen during a tour or port of call. I myself brought back a bunch of cassettes from my mid 80s Army tour in Korea.
I brought back record albums from Okinawa in the early 70's as well.
In a world of boy-toys, Alex is a genuine “toy-boy.”
Alex, about the records, the writings are not in Japanese, but in Chinese.
Love that cash register !
Actually the records seem to be from Taiwan. From what I read off the Joni Mitchell album, it was made by a company based out of Taipei, Taiwan.
you are so very very lucky, vintage game consoles with games a mega cool find and then space Lego, when I was young I use to dream about having all the space Lego
"My kids will put these together." "Alex, what are you doing? I'm working, honey!" (Alex putting together Lego sets....)
Omg Simon was my favorite toy ever! I’m feeling old now seeing Atari and all that…
Albums were probably bought by a serviceman during Vietnam. I had friends that brought back all sorts of bootlegged American stuff.
ALEXANDER... LEGO MY EGO ... DUDE .... LOL
The folks want full retail price at the yard sales I go to,. it's hard to find a bargain. Great job.
Congratulations on your finds. Hahaha I’m 64 years old and you talk about the stuff being old. Lol. To me 20-60s are a good find. You did great. Love that blue Pyrex bowl.
i went to about 50 yard sales this week and did not find ONE thing. You have a lucky star.
How much did you pay for the video game bin and Lego bin. I was waiting with bated breath to hear your steal but it never came. Awesome haul!!
I love following along with your adventures! Great Vid today....
The red and green ring was for Wax Stamping on Envelopes ☺️
Thanks Alex!
Good deals especially video games they worth big money especially in the original box
Beautiful filing cabinet, will be great in your new office!
Man you found the vintage jackpot of yard sales!!!
@@JudyZimShadHomesteader I don’t understand your comment, sorry!
Little People for 2$!? Lucky!
Vinyls - maybe a Canadian or USA service man/woman purchased while stationed over seas in the 70’s. To listen in evenings for a bit of home.
A wife who is a teacher, recommending a learning app, makes A LOT more sense the Alex pushing NOOM!
My aunt still has the A frame house and some of the little people and furniture from when her kids were younger, and her two oldest will be 59 and 58 respectively in the next few weeks. I played with it when I was younger (she raised me, I’m 41) and her grandkids and great grandchildren played with it as well.
That's not a Barbie in the yellow dress...it's her friend, Midge! I have a very early original one in the box!
If there is a large chip in that 10 k ring, there must be a man also missing some teeth from that brass knuckle.
The Queen,has a Barbie doll, made after her with her face!!
This has to be my favorite show /Video you have done in awhile very enjoyable thanks so much for sharing.
I played with that Barbie airplane case. I loved it!
Oh my gosh the file cabinet! Love it! Scored big today Alex! Congrats!
Nice haul. Enjoyed. Nice condition too.
Alex, you have to go see “What The Hale$” episode from yesterday where they are in a hoarder house loaded with hot wheels including unopenned factory sealed boxes with unknown hotwheel contents. Also Jeremy Hales is a HUGE Ghostbusters fan and would have bought your ambulance if he knew about it. You need to watch it and touch base with them! There are once in a lifetime finds in there.
I still have all my mid-late 60s Barbies/clothing/accessories. The time is coming when I'm going to have to sell them all. I'm going to hate that day.
Nice finds 🤗
Alex, have you considered using the store front as an upscale flea market? That way could have one attendant and have a booth for your better finds. The upside is the person rents the booth, prices the products, and all the attendant does is ring up the sales. I live in a small city of 50-60K people and at last count we had 3 upscale markets and 3 or 4 lesser markets. It would also allow you to pick whenever you want and have scheduled days to "meet and greet" your fans.
yellow ring stone is tiger's eye..
Great finds.👏👏👏
Lego 912 Set! I got that for Christmas in about 1976.
aww those dolls brought back so much good memories...
OMG did you ever make out on the deals! I never find good deals like that at our garage sales. That red stone ring looks like cinnabar. Thank you for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
That ring was beautiful! Wish we’d gotten a better look at it…
Cool items!
The ring with the red carved insert? Could it be a stamp for a wax letter seal? They were often on rings.
So much from my childhood. Love it.
Omg I would so love that barbie cace thing but postig would be a killer
The big ring is a tiger eye love them I'm glad you are still going to garage sales I love the un boxing videos the toys take me back
Omg, I have been looking for Barbie stuff. Even the toy stores do not carry it. The big stores have some but it is really limited and you fen have to buy the doll to get one outfit. That was a great haul.
Great finds!! I love the old cash register. And all those Legos!! Wow!! When I think of all the Pyrex I've had...ay yi yi in my adult years (55 1/2 of them!)!!
I love your videos!! You are so funny! I always have a smile on my face as I watch!!
I had to rewind and watch 'SPACESHIP" a few more times. Hahahahahaa!
I spent many hours at the “pool hall”playing Space Invaders, in the early 80’s . What a cool hall of vintage toys and games!
It's like you walk up to someone's house and they just start throwing money at you. How can people not know the value of what they have, at least the Barbies.🤣
Alex have you heard of youtube channel "WHAT THE HALE$ " ? JEREMYS FRIEND bought a hoarder house in Sandusky Ohio. Attic to basement and garage filled with toys and collectibles floor to ceiling including cases of hot wheels unopened on the cards , some cases marked red lines
Giving that big Tote of Lego to the kids may not be a good idea.
I anticipate the start of a Great Lego War ensuing. If you are missing
a part for your project just submit the proper form for " Midnight Requisition ".
