    We loved this estate sale!! It was the biggest house we have ever been to an estate sale in for sure, and it had so many cool vintage and unique items. You know we love whenever we can find ephemera and old photographs, too, so that was the cherry on top! We show the full haul when we get home :) Thanks so much coming along with us and we hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

      That was amazing! Prices were pretty high though. Up here in North Dakota, they practically throw it away, the prices are so inexpensive. I really appreciate how frugal you both are! Gorgeous ephemera! Thanks again for a great upload! ❤

      I love you channel, but unfortunately it's a Federal crime to open mail that is not addressed to you by the United States Postal Service even if you bought it , your not allowed to open it. Edit to : Google laws about opening mail for the United States Postal Service and what you can be charged for by doing so , if you put in on the internet then you supplied legal services with evidence. Postal Inspection Services may press charges even if the persons are deceased as a law to not allow anyone to open another person's mail that is being mailed with the United States Postal Service. 😳

    I appreciate how you don’t ridicule the decor style in estate sales. Last year my parents, ages 95 and 99, sold the family home to a grandson, and moved into assisted living. The second my parents moved out, the grandson and his girlfriend came in and began to remodel, which is fine. But the girlfriend would criticize the “old fashioned” things in the home. It was hard to hear, because our parents hosted all the family get togethers for nearly 60 years, and many cherished memories happened there.

    • @breafkast
      @breafkast  День тому +12

      Aw I’m sorry that happened, we try never to criticize someone else’s preferences. Even if a home isn’t our preferred style, it is someone’s and I’m happy they created a space they loved and could enjoy!

      I’m 53 and it breaks my heart that people are so stuck on what is outdated in a home. I believe a home is filled with things that makes you happy. Our adult children are going to be 29 and 27 next week . Our son lives with his fiancée and is getting married this year. Our daughter is looking for her 1st apartment. They both have been honest with us about certain items that they want to keep including family photos and certain decorations but, for the most part they do not want any of our antiques or furniture because it’s not their style. Maybe our future grandchildren will want some things. We shall see.

    We received a brown grocery bag full of Green Stamp books for a wedding present. We were able to shop for anything we needed to set up our house. BEST GIFT EVER!!! Once the other women at the shower saw the gift, I received more and more every Sunday that I went to church or Usher board meeting!!! It was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

    Loved watching you finding things at the second estate sale!! So many memories for me in what you two found! Mommy saved S & H green stamps and got so many things for our family with them. My Dad was a Korean War veteran who was 100% disabled. The stamps were so helpful being on a fixed amount. I love you, Kelly and Alex!!

    That green stamp brought back memories for me because my Mom and I would go to the stores that gave them out and then look through the catalog to pick out a gift. That one post card was from a Hamm Radio operator. I used to have a license but sadly I didn't remember to renew it and I was scared to use it any more. My call letters were KC4JIQ or jump in quick. LOL My ex husband took all the radios so I didn't have any way of still communicating. It is a fun but can be expensive hobby. You use the cards to send to the people you talk to all over the world.

    The card is from a Ham Radio exchange. My late husband did Ham Radio. When you contact someone long distance you exchange cards with your call sign and country of origin. Many Hams spend a lot of time on the radio and doing this. It is a lot of fun to talk randomly to people all over the world.

    That was a fun estate sale! The ephemera photos were really cool! I wouldn't worry about it being illegal to open those old envelopes with a letter in them. The original receiver may have steamed the envelopes open before and over time the envelope may have sealed up on its own. You could re-steam the envelope open again. It was a thing that was done in the old days to steam open an envelope. I have a lot of family black and white photos. It's fun going through them.

He also had a photo album filled with a lot of pictures with his travels in the army (he was sent to the Panama Canal) and pics of his army buddies. ✌🏼❤️

    Towards the end of the video the Radio Club card is from a competition. My husband was into ham radio a few years ago he passed away in 2020. During a competition they would collect as many contacts to other people over the radio within a certain geographical distance or worldwide. The clubs or individuals would write out a card like the one you have. For example, a contest could be trying to collect a contact from every state, or every county, or as many countries worldwide! The location that had very few people with radios would be the hard ones to get. the contests were for a specific time like a single day or certain hours of one day. Hope this makes sense lol. If my husband was alive I know he could explain it better!

    For stuff like that that very few people are going to want, I would always take the box to them and ask them how much they want for the entire box no matter how much they are trying to sell them for individually before I would take the time to go through and pick out some that I want. If they don't make you a good enough deal on the entire box, then you can go through and be selective. They may have given you the entire box for $35 to $40 if you would have taken it to them in the first place and ask them.

    Hi Kelly, the fisherman pic/Vietnam, the abbreviation, Pvt. is of the word Private (rank), Tom, and perhaps the last name is Harmon, Idk I cannot see it well enough on my screen. I once heard a great tip from art appraiser Dr Lori Verderame, that if you lay a piece of tracing paper over the word and, starting at the beginning, try to write it out, your brain will fill in the missing letters. It has worked for me in the past. Hope it's helpful for you and Alex. God Bless 💖✝🐈‍⬛

    I wonder how much the flatscreen was and the snowboard? I’m thinking they overpriced everything, unless they plan to keep selling every weekend for a month.

    You would love all of the pictures I have. Tons of pictures from the 30s 40s 50s 60s 70s etc. I keep planning to put them all in albums, but so far, I haven't. When we were remodeling the house, my grandfather built in 1930 we found a letter that my grandmother mailed to him from Pittsburgh. All we can figure is someone must have handed him the mail and after he read the letter, he just stuck it under a shingle on the side of the house and nailed it there. This was around 2006 that we found it and you could still read most of it! The address on the envelope was just his name, the town and state.....no street name or number! Things were much simpler back then. Come to NC and I will show you all of my treasures!!!
