Just found your page. I am HYPER-critical as I have been buying and selling collectibles since 1983 . If I chime in and seem "harsh" it's only to give a few guidelines and PRO TIPS ; especially on hard to sell "common" household items. Talk to ya later
Lots of cool items! I wonder if there is a veterans, woman's shelter, or Family relocation center that might like the furniture. It's too bad there isn't an area that accepts free furniture. Those shelves would be so handy.
New sub, Marty. Didn't realize you had a channel as well! You've probably moved the hide-a-bed already, but for future reference, If you unfasten the metal fold out portion, and wire it together while its folded up, it can be moved easily (and scrapped, if you are doing any of that), and the wood portion will be far easier to move. Have cleaned out several estates over the years, and doing that made the hide-a-beds far less tretcherous to move.
Lots of things for crafters. Junk Journals use old checks, journals, ledgers, books etc. Do you have a Half Book store. You can sell the books to them and get some money.
Just come across your channel so now you have new subscriber. 😁 My hats off to you, because that seemed like a huuuuge amount of work, especially as you have a time limit to get it done. It would feel over whelming at times I imagine, but also it would be exciting at the same time. I'd love to see all the jewellery as you sort through each piece when you do it.
@@janeharden1163 - I had a week to empty the house and the homeowner stipulated that there were to be no sales made from the home. Otherwise, I would have had an epic sale!
I have a couple of pieces of celluloid jewelry and flatware but it was a treat to see the celluloid Mickey Mouse. I'm not into Disney but that was quite a find!
Wow! This is why i have been cleaning out stuff and putting in yard sales and donating. I don't want my family to have to go through all my junk. Giving nice stuff to your family before you pass on works too.
Well done !! It looks like ur stamp collection is VERY extensive don't underestimate that. Also, the kitchen ware, I saw alit of lead chrystal.. worth money. Every and.all nick nacks.. early congrats to you. First video of urs I have come across. Love from AZ-US 😊
Watching the rest of the video...I think your doll with the ice skates is "Barbara Ann Scott"...Not into dolls either, but that one I have seen before somewhere.
In the US, some secondhand bookstores will purchase pre-owed books, binders and albums for a couple dollars each. 'Half Priced Books' is a store in our area.
Will you go crazy thinking about the attic?? Do you ever do updates on estate buys? Wondering about the stamps and cameras. This was the first video of yours that I’ve watched. Of course I subscribed! Sorry for so many questions 😊
LOL. Normally it would drive me crazy but their gems were in safes and safety deposit boxes! I'll try to do some updates on these buys in the future - I'm still going through the cameras! Happy you enjoyed it!
I hope you made a decent profit because that was a lot of work, but I like you're system or the one you applied in this video, cameras we're nice I was hoping to see a Leica or two and perhaps a Hasselblad but you can't win em all, you got some Zeiss gear which is nice and good collectable vintage cameras, at first glance on the 65 wedding anniversary silver set I seen the lion and said that's London and sterling, what a bummer that was when you posted that it was plate, I enjoyed the whole video and am a new sub, thanks modern hipster...
Yep, it's called Backroad Bounty! You can watch it on Tubi - but for some reason, our voices are sped up like chipmunks, lol. Thanks for subscribing to my channel!
@@modernhipster Dude, I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I've seen you at before. I forget names, but never a face I use to watch that show. I loved it, and wished it was still on the air. Yeah, I remembered those voices, they did sound like that. I'm glad to see you are still in the business. I just stumbled across your channel and sub. Much success you.
What a lovely home! I’d love to live in that house. Don’t trip on bedbugs!! Just get some I propyl alcohol 90% or up! Kills on contact! Put it in a stay bottle. And get a black light cause they come out at night you can see them!
I agree. He got rid of a lot of stuff that the new owners could have used. Why not leave some of the unwanted future and let the new owners decide if they want to keep it or not. I noticed he got rid of a lot of good stuff that could have been donated. Goodwill and Salvation Army does do pick ups.
Think you will find there is a good market for train books. And any military books. Contact your local library to see if they are interested i. A donation of the books for there annual book sales.
You know right away he didn’t buy the house. But instead he was asked to haul/clean up the stuff, which is standard before The house is put on the market.
It’s sad that so much had to be tossed because they didn’t want outsiders coming to buy things. I know I’d have loved some of the shelves and book cases.
Not bragging but if thats a millionaires estate mine is a billionaires estate and I am neither a millionaire or billionaire just a picker for 30 yrs house full of antiques and collectibles plus a 60x40 shop as well. I keep more than I sell lol so maybe thats why I am not a millionaire. Love the video bro, love seeing all the stuff.
Love your videos, I bet you enjoyed going through it all but it looked like there were more junk than really good stuff. I hope you didn’t pay a lot for this stuff. It might have been better in person. How often do you upload videos.
There was a lot more than shown in the video - it turned out really well! I upload at least twice per month right now. I'm aiming for one per week this year. Thanks for watching!
Looking at that workshop...i have about 10 times that much and that's after a dumpster full, and the contractor stealing stuff from what i told them. Yes "a friend" acted as contractor...daddy's tools were not to be touched, a 1930s refrigerator, he was supposed to sell and give me half. That was 8 years ago. 🤚 still waiting. I didn't learn from that. Another "friend " stole stole a case of coins. I need to learn to choose better friends. Just an FYI don't trust anyone
Greetings from BC! I have a channel also about stamps and am wondering if you would be interested in selling me the stamps you found and if so at what cost. I like to do unboxing videos and think they would go well. Great content!
THAT TRUMPET IS ACTUALLY A TROMBONE ! MORE VALUABLE I ASSUME THAN A TRUMPET

The guy loved trains and photography. Train slides are highly collectable. Please don't throw them out. Train books do have a good resale value.
Thanks for your input!
so happy to find your channel!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
OH WOW!! I WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT PIANO!!!!
Lots of cool items! I wonder if there is a veterans, woman's shelter, or Family relocation center that might like the furniture. It's too bad there isn't an area that accepts free furniture. Those shelves would be so handy.
Agreed! It was tough to re-home many items only having a week to complete the job.
Habitat for Humanity
@@SuperDrLisa Unfortunately they were booked weeks in advance.
I am an hour in and I just want to say I love these type video's.... So much fun to go through stuff with you...
Glad you enjoy it!
@@modernhipster Would like to see the costume jewelry, hopefully some vintage...what auction house will you list them?
Most of the jewelry has already been sold through auction, unfortunately. Next time!
So many things I’d like to get my hands on a month ago, but it looks like a fun video to make
I'm still going through boxes! Thanks for watching!

That's exactly what we did with it. Great to see you here and I'll definitely check out your channel as well!

I’d Pull all first editions
HPB will only offer pennies on the dollar, they are a rip off
I love this can’t wait see jewery open up look at.

Hey good to see you have your own channel! I remember seeing you in Canadian pickers awhile back. Or at least I think it was you! New sub here!
That was me and I later hosted Backroad Bounty. Thanks for tuning in, don't forget to subscribe!

It was definitely an unusual and interesting piece!
The full 3 hours! What a marathon.
Fun for the whole family! Tell your friends! Thanks for watching.

Agreed. But I'm happy I can help these families out. It's often very overwhelming for them. Thanks for watching!
What a dream job! Honestly, how fun to go through everything. *i believe that little yellow and orange raft in the toy box is from GI Joe
The thrill of the hunt is real! Thanks for the heads up and for watching!
Well done !! It looks like ur stamp collection is VERY extensive don't underestimate that. Also, the kitchen ware, I saw alit of lead chrystal.. worth money. Every and.all nick nacks.. early congrats to you. First video of urs I have come across. Love from AZ-US 😊
Thanks for the tips, it worked out really wel in that estate. Thanks for watching!
Those children's records and the doll furniture might be a gem in the rough.
I don't think I've ever seen that many book cases in a home!! You got you work cut out for ya moving all those!!
It was definitely a chore! Thanks for watching!
Why wouldn't they keep the nice white shelving unit for the new buyers?
That Madsen machine is an audiometer, possibly worth $1000 if it works. It tests hearing.
Hmmmm lots of vintage books and coins and just the old pictures ❤❤❤...I collect old golden books kids books ❤lovely ❣️
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching!

I didn’t think you would ever get through all of that! You’ll have to sleep for a week!😂
Wow what a great video! Awesome
Thanks so much!
In the US, some secondhand bookstores will purchase pre-owed books, binders and albums for a couple dollars each. 'Half Priced Books' is a store in our area.
Unfortunately, there weren't any available and I only had a week to deal with the estate so a lot were donated. Thanks for watching!
@@modernhipster Understand.

I help my friend out with estate sales and we are always torn if we should do buy outs. It's nice to hear and see your process.
Yes, every situation is different. Thanks for your feedback!
just saw that love seat in your window
Just put it in there today!

It was quite the adventure and yes, I'll do just fine when it's all eventually sold. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
I hope you check the furniture for coins. I do. Love your videos.
I do! Thank you very much!
And the books, pictures, and VHS/CD cases.
Those checkers could be bakelite as well.
Love your videos. I have a question why didn't you plant the peony close to the house so you could smell the flowers? 🪷
This wasn't my house. I bought and cleaned out the contents. Happy you're enjoying the videos!
how do you even buy an entire estate
Now I like the cameras
Didn't you do a show with an eccentric co host? Wasn't it set in rural Canada? I believe I watched two seasons. Good to find you again!

Thanks for the tips! And for watching!
My dream is to do a full estate clean out...despite the gruelling long hours, I think it would be fun!
Yes, they are a lot of fun but definitely a TON of work!
Conn trombone!!
Zwebach is a mennonite bread! The tin is cool and if u sell let me know!!!!!!!!! I'm mennonite and it reminds me of my youth!!!!!
The bread is originally a Ukrainian bread which the Russian mennonites made as the were from the Ukraine originally!
Shelves,shelves and more shelves
And books, books and more books! Thanks for watching!
The new owners would probably appreciate you leaving the metal shelves for the basement.
I agree. He got rid of a lot of stuff that the new owners could have used. Why not leave some of the unwanted future and let the new owners decide if they want to keep it or not. I noticed he got rid of a lot of good stuff that could have been donated. Goodwill and Salvation Army does do pick ups.
Wow thats a lot of Junk , That house has Big Windows….. They saw you coming 😂😂😂😂
That die cast engine and locomotive will sell well if it's a Lionel.
Definitely!
I would definitely be interested in the children's records.
The Victorian clothing is beautiful I would buy it.
Think you will find there is a good market for train books. And any military books. Contact your local library to see if they are interested i. A donation of the books for there annual book sales.
Thanks for the suggestions!
A lot of the stuff you do not want. I think this was a bad deal for you. You paid them, this was a deal for them.
Actually, it went really well! At the end of the video, I mention that it's in my top 5 estates of all time.
Thanks for watching!
I think he did really well even though he had a lot to move out. 👍👍
😂😂😂😂😂 i think your right!
You know right away he didn’t buy the house. But instead he was asked to haul/clean up the stuff, which is standard before
The house is put on the market.
them recurds might be worth something if you looked at rhem
I did! I actually grabbed about 20 plus some box sets from the basement. Thanks for watching!
Where are you located,I would love piano and furniture you will dump🥰
Ontario, Canada. The house has been emptied though. Thanks for watching!
Oooh... Bakelite silverware
I know nobody cares, but I get so nervous when you pick up the old toys with one hand 😮
Haha, I'm careful! Thanks for watching!
I’m exhausted just viewing !
Lol, the estates are a lot of work! Thanks for watching!
Maybe you could donate books to the library. 😊
Many were donated!
What auction company do you list at and when will the sale be?
I use a couple different auction houses. We're done with this estate but I'm sure there will be another soon.
Thanks for watching!
It’s sad that so much had to be tossed because they didn’t want outsiders coming to buy things. I know I’d have loved some of the shelves and book cases.

Is there an attic
Just a crawl space filled with insulation :/

I do! Shoot me an email if interested in purchasing. info@modernhipster.com
I sent an email no news back yet
@@modernhipster
It's a trombone
How long has this person been living here ?
They built it in 1979.
What state is this located?
Ontario, Canada
Where city are you located? Thought you said somewhere Southern California. If so, do you still have the tall wood shelving/filing cabinet?
I'm in Southern Ontario, Canada!
@@modernhipster Oh, ok. My bad. I live down the street from Ontario, CA, as in California, so mistook what you said.
What a shame to have to toss all that furniture and shelving units.
Why can't you sell anything out of the house?
The owner didn't want strange people coming and going. The house was vacant but full of valuables.

Too bad the owner won’t allow you to have a garage sale to eliminate a lot of the general stuff.
Yes, it was unfortunate but their call. Thanks for watching!
You seem to be letting go of lots of good resealable goods. I hope you aren't throwing these good in the dumpster??
A LOT was sent out for auction and donation and three trailer loads came back with me. We saved as much as we could with the time we had :)
