Oh yeah I started watching this then I realize that you're the guy that's power tripper You don't want nobody touching nothing unless you do it, not even your wife that's hysterical here you want to open this ? and then you stand over top of her while she does it. hysterical!!
A quick note on the fossil shark tooth: That is a tooth from an Otodus obliquus (mackerel shark) from the Late Paleocene (~56 million years ago) of Morocco. The little fossil set next to it is a grinding tooth from a Myliobatis dixoni (eagle ray) from the same time period and location. They are real fossils, but they are artificially set on "matrix" made from sand and glue -- a common scenario for Moroccan fossils. They're not particularly valuable, as they are plentiful and easy to get, but they do have a bit of a neat-o factor for beginning collectors. And that, boys and girls, is your paleontology lesson for today.
The homeowner seemed like a nice guy, and Alex is a nice guy who treated his stuff nicely. I'd like to hope whoever clears out my hobbies and collections and whatnot are nice to me. Death comes to us all, it all changes in a heartbeat. At least this guy enjoyed his life, rode his Harley, took his kid snowboarding. Raise a glass.
It’s definitely a different feeling watching you go through a youngish person’s newish items instead of getting lost in the nostalgia/history of older items.
My daughter has a small antique business in NB and I live in North Carolina . One day she asked if I ever watched your channel. I said funny you say that, I watch him all the time. Now how cool is that?
The truck, the Harley, all the tool boxes and tools.... Keep!! This is a great investment. I love the counter height table and chairs! I love it all, even the house! ! ❤
What about the family? I am sad looking at this. The person was not old. Sporty stuff. House in good condition. Good luck. I don't think i can watch this
I feel like that could be me someday, based on the items found. I kept thinking of the man whose tools those were and I knew what kind of things he loved.
Yes Brodie Smith. Clean out those areas. My husband said I can clean out his stuff when he’s gone. How selfish is that…clean out your stuff yourself….if they are worth anything give your family the money now, and you enjoy there company etc..
Sorry for the family's loss. Sending my condolences to the family. Thank you for donating a lot of this stuff for underprivileged families. At least it will come to good use. It looks like you will come out to the good on this. Great video, keep them coming and I'll keep watching ❤
Before a family's house was emptied we always had someone staying there until everything was finalized. Heard of too many thefts and vandalism in some homes. Very sad when it comes to vandalism.
These kinds of episodic shows are so much fun to watch. Thank you for taking us, your viewers, on the journey with you. Not really a hoarder in the home, but kind of in the storage areas.
Makes me a little sad seeing some of the stuff left behind. Doesn't seem like the person was that old. The video game stuff is relatable to me. The little lamb chop with "I need a hug" tugged at my heartstrings.
me too I was like this has to be a younger person .. weights video game stuff then I was kinda thrown only 1 relative out of country so why all the dirt bikes and bicycles if maybe didnt have kids?? a mystery
@@laurabrown5983 Man, I actually felt pretty bad with how relatable all the upstairs bedroom stuff was to me. I’m 30 and all of the older gaming consoles and other electronics were popular right in my age range, if not a little younger. :(
This one made me think of who lived there the most, it felt so much more intrusive going through what was clearly a younger person's home. Eerie and a little sad.
Same here. It's one thing to breathe new life into a hoarded home in disrepair, but this home already has so much life in it. Everything left the way it was the last day it had occupants, down to a dirty dish that never made it into the wash. Just heartbreaking.
My favourite part about all of this is seeing all of this useful stuff put back into use! Three cars sitting there collecting dust you will hopefully be able to get back into the road while they’re still road-worthy…! So many treasures for people to own and love again. :)
For all those who are feeling very sad and speculating that a very young person lived in this home and passed on, Alex noted in a reply to someone that the man who passed away was in his 60's and had a son in his 20's. Sixties is still far too young but he also was not in his 20's as many are speculating due to the snowboarding gear etc. Death is always sad and these videos where we see the last dish still sitting where the man who lived there left them the last day he walked out of his home hit hard. We are all going to pass on at some time and most of us will not have any idea when that last day is going to be. My best friend of over 32 years dried her dinner dishes and went out to get her last steps in for the day, she was obsessed with her 10,000 steps counter, she took very good care of her health. She was not 3 minutes from her house on the sidewalk when a man who drank his dinner at the local tavern hit and killed her, she had just celebrated her 55th birthday. She left her dishes drying in the rack , intending to put them away in 30 minutes when she came back she never did. Alex's videos do many things, and have provided me with countless hours of incredible videos filled with so much love and empathy for those who have passed on, and in some cases when he started the video series where still with us. His videos are a stark reminder that no one knows when will be our last hug, our last "i love you" to those we hold so dear to us. I sure wish I could tell my best friend one more time how much i treasured the decades of ups and downs we had lived through together, but I was left holding her hand in the ICU with her hooked up to a breathing machine while they searched for others to receive her organs as she left this world giving vision and life to others, just as she lived her life always thinking of others. I am reminded to get moving on sorting through things that need to be sold or donated or pitched because I would hate for my family to have to deal with my clutter in such a time of sadness and grief. Alex provides an incredible service to families and does it with all the kindness one would expect from a fellow Canadian.
I'm with you on going through stuff and not leaving it for my kids to do. I'm 63 and a bit of a pack rat so... There is a great book, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning that helps put "stuff" into perspective.
My condolences to you for the loss of your friend and Thank you for your thoughtful words. Hearing this after my mother told me she was doing her WILL today at age 63.
Swedish death cleaning. I'm in my 50s. Reasonably good health. But you never know. I watched a video about Swedish death cleaning and needed to do that for my family. It's a good idea to clear the clutter so the fam doesn't have too much to do
What an amazing find on this house with the motorcycles! I’m glad you got the car and truck started. The bolts for the motorcycle seat were in the plastic bin rolling around where the seat was. Can’t wait till your next video!
Thank goodness you came back on to my UA-cam channels! I had lost you both after you moved into the new house and sold the shop. I thought had seen the last of you, sadly. You are back! Shall hopefully keep watching you again and all your wonderful treasure hunting.
Looks like you made another good deal, so congrats on that! I love what you're doing with the furniture ❤️ It may not be terribly valuable, but most of it looked nice & in decent shape. You're going to make some peoples' lives better who really need it. Looking forward to the rest of the series, thanks for taking us along!
Wow! When you said another clean out, I automatically thought of an elderly person. This is totally a younger person's home. Really looks like someone left quickly and only took what they could as most of the clothes are gone .
It could easily be an older person's home too, older people also enjoy gaming and riding motorbikes. Heck there was a guy who lived mear me who rode an enormous Harley trike, he would ride around dressed as Santa Claus - he was 81 but didnt look it. I think it is the deceased estate of an older person because of all the Snap On tools and the old man type clothes in the wardrobe. May the gent rest in peace.
@Denise Meredith I think the snow boards would indicate a younger person. I think they had a good job. The physics textbook makes me think they were a STEM major in college. I would guess maybe an engineer or the like. Especially since they like repairing things
I think this person was active, but somewhat older, mostly because of the glimpse of music. Elvis, Charley Pride and Herb Alpert…not to say some young people aren’t interested in music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, but it’s a tell. The snowboard selection makes me think 40s or younger.
I wonder if you pull the 2 cushions off of one couch will fit the larger couch so you can donate. Kudos 👏 to finding a place that helps one's less fortunate. Nice finds you two! Def made profit
First time seeing your videos. This makes me sad that someone so young is no longer with us and that no one could come to handle his things. Seems like he was a cool guy and very active too. Hope they have peace knowing people such as you and your wife are willing to do what others cannot.
Very exciting looks like a good lot of things for you to get your money back on. So nice of you to donate the furniture ,good to see. Looking forward to seeing what's uncovered. Janette from Australia
Hi Alex and Melissa, another fine project to complete and get new vids from you! always enjoy your adventures. thanks for everything, and a special thanks for donation to the family arriving from the Ukraine. wonderful that you do this!
This one is a little hard for me because I’m assuming young adult (s) lived here. I’m sure your service expertise in this clear out is appreciated. It may be a stress not because of hoarding but because of the shock of the loss.
@@northernerinnc3179 I agree with you: three men lived in that house. The paperwork said there was only 1 owner; and their only other relative lived in a different country. I can easily see this as college buddies, brothers, or cousins or immigrants sharing the house, but why did the other two guys leave behind their belongings? Why did the families of the other two, not want their belongings? oh, that is not a pleasant thought. eyeah. I just worked out what I think happened, and like Yam Moods- it's too heartbreaking to think about it. The registrations of the Cars and the motor bikes will confirm my horrible thoughts.
WOW Harley and Herculese what a find!! ... You'll probably make about 50 grand plus after you've moved stuff and given things to places. And then money back on cars too etc.. What a lot of great stuff. Place was taken good care of, also good quality furniture. Love the bikes... Some lucky person will be happy to buy the bikes
I’m so excited for another clear out! Each is unique - this is definitely a one off with the bikes, vehicles, tools, & games. Looking forward to the next installment.
You do such important work. I love how you are so compassionate toward the people who lived in the homes you clear out. Living where you do, I think a snow blower may be a useful investment..
Hi Alexander and Melissa nice to see you together at this house clearance, hope you do well some good stuff around cars, motorbikes, and lots of tools best of luck love your videos 👍❤
Reminds me of going through my friends house after he passed. It was more emotional obviously since I knew the person. It was really weird. Same feeling I get watching this one. Dirty dishes, food in the fridge, dirty laundry. Folded clothes judt waiting to be worn. Boxes and clutter that were out to the side to be cleaned anothwr day. Except that day never came. It really makes you feel the weight of life. One day you're here and the next day you aren't. I'm glad you treated their stuff nicely and not just throwing things around and brishing things off. Instead takjng interest in what they might of had going on and what hobbies they enjoyed.
The dirt bike was $1698 when new in 1978, Hercules 250 GS enduro, probably sell for about 6-8k at a collectors auction like Mecum have. $200 just to register and bid
How fantastic!! You really scored. Haven't been on your channel for a while so it was good to see what you two were up to. Good luck with moving everything and selling & donating. You are so kind to help the people get some nice furniture. Thank you.
Personally, I think those couches will be fine for donating for the apartments set up. I have been known to buy a nice leather couch with a few cut spots and use a cover on the cushions until I could get it recovered. Not as much hidden treasures in this one, but do keep us informed as to your resale or revenue return on the electronics and the weapons as well as the vehicles.
I agree about the couches. I think they should be offered to the family who can decide whether to accept or not. They can use it until they are able to get something better or more to their liking.
The house is absolutely great I would move in it the way that it is it is amazing I don't know how many houses you can find like that probably not many
I can't help but wonder what happened to the people that lived here. They were young people. I'm happy for you but sad for them to lose a lifetime of cars, motorcycles, bikes, snowboards, etc. it's one thing when an elderly person dies but much sadder when someone still in the prime of their life is just gone. Poor family.
Obviously older people play games but what they’re saying is it it wasn’t a 78-year-old man based off of the items around the house come on now it’s sad. You know this person was young.
@@Snarkapotamus You are being totally unfair with Julie Jorgensen. I am almost 71 and have some of those things also, but the overall picture is that the clothing, lack of aged personal items, no pictures on walls or counters, etc all indicate that a younger man lived there. The possibility of it being an older man is true. The probability of it being an older man is small. Learn to communicate with a little more niceness in your remarks please.
thanks for being honest about your keys. i lost mine yesterday and found them later in my pocket. you povied a good service. i was a bit scared for you until you opened the shed. sad that someone pass, but looked like he rock while alive.
Nice little home. It looks like two generations lived there. The old Albums and all the young man toys. What a great buy! Looks like you did it again Alexander congratulations!
The EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 box at 25:30 was once containing a close to top tier graphics card from a few generations back. It can still be used for 1080p gaming if you find it and it works properly, as it still can compete with a modern RTX 3060 just without raytracing, I'd check inside the computer tower in the closet at 21:55. If it's in there the chances are that the rest of the computer parts in it is pretty top of the line from a few years back as well.
It appears to be in there. I have 2, it looks right. But it may be an upgrade rather than top of the line machine. Not that it matters, since it could hold stuff that has to go back to the family. Unless of course it gets backed up (probably for the best considering computers aren't cheap to ship).
@@RikkiCattermole Take out the hard drive/SSD and send that to the family, keep the computer. The Geforce could also be in the computer in the living room.
Looking at ebay UK depending on exact model this can be £200 upwards. During pandemic gaming graphics cards went crazy as supplies dried up and seem to be holding some value. Definitely worth pulling from whichever case it's in and selling separately and not unknowingly donating. Great video again and looks like a more manageable less stress clear out than previous. Looking forward to seeing your Snap on personal tool set upgrade
@@RikkiCattermole True, you'd have to check that first. An encrypted hard drive/SSD in a gaming PC doesn't seem all that likely though. I've never actually worked with HDD encryption so I wasn't aware that Bitlocker is tied to the hardware rather than just a software encryption until I read up on it after reading your reply!
Looks like some great stuff! So glad it is not dusty and biohazard-ish :) Thinking about your health and well being :) Look forward to more episodes and adventure!
Glad to see another clear out video, they are my favorites. The suspense has begun on what you will find. Wonderful that you are donating the furniture to such a good cause. You are such good people.!!!!!
This video just popped in my feed today. Watching this is a bit sad because there’s no family to take care of these possessions. This makes me want to go through my own home and clean out before my last days. I am over 65 and can still do this task so there’s not so much for the person who will take over.
Much respect on what you decided to do with all that furniture. Maybe it wasn't high end pricey stuff but it was still in great condition and you could have gotten something for it. So nice that you found a great cause to give it to.❤️
I am so glad you are donating the furniture to such a worthy cause . I wonder if they would take the dishes and any household appliances that don't go to auction as well . Might save you running to multiple places and would do a world of good. With all those vehicles. tools and sports equipment Im sure you have your money back . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
This one is pretty exciting for the tools and other stuff in the garage. I think you are underestimating the value of the truck. Here in the states, used trucks, especially 4x4 and lifted are well over $10K US. Between the cars and the motorcycles you are well over your costs. The tools and other things are a huge bonus for your own garage along with the engine lift and stuff in the shed. It's going to be fun to figure out what to keep and what to sell.
Good finds. That snap-on half inch impact gun gos for just over 900(hundred) now new I have to ask how much for the Harley. Always wanted one mite be my chance
Hi Alex. I'm so happy to see you will be getting your money back with the vehicles, and the motorcycles! It is always exciting to see what you find! I will be here for every episode.
This was a great yoga session for me. I've had serious illnesses and an injury that led to an injury called sharko foot, Causing a serious disability. This means I'm not supposed to put excess pressure weight et cetera on my leg. I will definitely continue these yoga moves and catch up again soon❤ Thank you so much! It took me many years to recover from a multiple organ transplant and I'm now finally feeling well enough to do this! I'm so excited and looking forward to a vacation in just over a month. I have a lot of faith that this will help me to Get a little stronger.
I love what you are doing with the furniture. Could the dishes and clothes be donated the same way? Thank you for having a good moral compass. God be with you all!
As my wife and I were watching this, she kept on saying how the person who lived here must have been my long lost twin. His house and belongings shockingly resemble my own before I was married up. How old was this guy if you may ask? I'm 33 and this guy could have been my best friend in another life 😂
Looks like you struck gold again, Alexander, both with the house/shed/garage contents, and with the UA-cam interest! It looks like young people must have been involved there, so I feel sad hearing there was a death and no family around to handle the house contents. Those kind of buyouts must be difficult for you to undertake, but you always do the right thing and turn suffering and sadness into a blessing for someone. I like that the furniture is going to Ukrainian families. We are really looking forward to seeing you clean this property out and do well selling the good stuff. Please give your beautiful wife a hug from BanDana Gramma! ❤❤
I just found you , I'm already in love, This is close to what my life and business is, a lot of hard 🤣 But yet a lot of fun, you never know what you're going to get in a box of chocolates"""😂 hahaha ""Well you know as I know (God's blessings that he gives to) Enjoy have fun..❤️🙏 Mary Christ's birthday to you. 🎄
It's sad to see a house of a younger person that passed away. But quite an active guy that must have been. Your sons will be able to together there own fitness with what they find in the house. Looking forward to next episodes.
Alex said in another comment that the man who passed away was in his 60's, he had a son in his 20's so that is why we are seeing belongings of a younger person.
@@seabreezeA1A He mentioned at the beginning of the video that the only family member is living in another country so that makes it quite a lot harder to deal with items. Likely all items they left behind from their teenage days anyways so probably not worth much to them at that point or just unable to get back to handle it all.
I was in the trade many years and its a top buzz when your instincts prove right with a great big dollop of cream on the cake., More so when the buzz goes on and on ,can,t wait to see what little gems await ,happy hunting i really do miss the chase so much good luck. Razzo
No jewelry? No Christmas stuff? No pottery? Definitely a Dude house. Always sad to see the remnants of a life that has passed but his belongings are in good hands.
Looking at all the things left behind, you get the impression of a relatively young person. Perhaps the overwhelm was not so much physical, for how much effort it would have taken to clean up after them, but emotional, from confronting the reality of their demise. So sad. As always, you are amazingly good at spotting value and keeping your chin up (not to mention, working much harder than most people … personally I’d have been worn out by just clearing away the snow …)
Love watching these videos and was so happy to see another.
By the sounds of it, you will make out pretty good.
I agree. It's my favorite kind video. Thanks for sharing!
Oh yeah I started watching this then I realize that you're the guy that's power tripper You don't want nobody touching nothing unless you do it, not even your wife that's hysterical here you want to open this ? and then you stand over top of her while she does it. hysterical!!

Swedish death cleaning. I'm in my 50s. Reasonably good health. But you never know. I watched a video about Swedish death cleaning and needed to do that for my family. It's a good idea to clear the clutter so the fam doesn't have too much to do
What an amazing find on this house with the motorcycles! I’m glad you got the car and truck started. The bolts for the motorcycle seat were in the plastic bin rolling around where the seat was. Can’t wait till your next video!
Thank goodness you came back on to my UA-cam channels! I had lost you both after you moved into the new house and sold the shop. I thought had seen the last of you, sadly. You are back! Shall hopefully keep watching you again and all your wonderful treasure hunting.
Looks like you made another good deal, so congrats on that! I love what you're doing with the furniture ❤️ It may not be terribly valuable, but most of it looked nice & in decent shape. You're going to make some peoples' lives better who really need it. Looking forward to the rest of the series, thanks for taking us along!
Wow! When you said another clean out, I automatically thought of an elderly person. This is totally a younger person's home. Really looks like someone left quickly and only took what they could as most of the clothes are gone .
I take the word "estate" to mean this person died. I totally agree that they were younger. I think they were 25 -35, based on the contents.
It could easily be an older person's home too, older people also enjoy gaming and riding motorbikes. Heck there was a guy who lived mear me who rode an enormous Harley trike, he would ride around dressed as Santa Claus - he was 81 but didnt look it.
I think it is the deceased estate of an older person because of all the Snap On tools and the old man type clothes in the wardrobe. May the gent rest in peace.
@Denise Meredith I think the snow boards would indicate a younger person. I think they had a good job. The physics textbook makes me think they were a STEM major in college. I would guess maybe an engineer or the like. Especially since they like repairing things
@@dunebuggie I would say more like 45-60 , I am 50 years old and that stuff seems in my age bracket
I think this person was active, but somewhat older, mostly because of the glimpse of music. Elvis, Charley Pride and Herb Alpert…not to say some young people aren’t interested in music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, but it’s a tell. The snowboard selection makes me think 40s or younger.
I wonder if you pull the 2 cushions off of one couch will fit the larger couch so you can donate. Kudos 👏 to finding a place that helps one's less fortunate. Nice finds you two! Def made profit
First time seeing your videos. This makes me sad that someone so young is no longer with us and that no one could come to handle his things. Seems like he was a cool guy and very active too. Hope they have peace knowing people such as you and your wife are willing to do what others cannot.
What happened to the people
You are a hard worker, Alex. I admire that you take good care of your family.
Hey Alex,
That "club" you found in the closet I think is a gaffer hook. My Grandfather used to fish with them instead of using a fishing pole.
Hi Sam, you are close, it's a GAFF, used when landing a fish of big size !!!
Very exciting looks like a good lot of things for you to get your money back on. So nice of you to donate the furniture ,good to see. Looking forward to seeing what's uncovered. Janette from Australia
Hi Alex and Melissa, another fine project to complete and get new vids from you! always enjoy your adventures. thanks for everything, and a special thanks for donation to the family arriving from the Ukraine. wonderful that you do this!
This one is a little hard for me because I’m assuming young adult (s) lived here.
I’m sure your service expertise in this clear out is appreciated. It may be a stress not because of hoarding but because of the shock of the loss.
I thought the same thing -- what happened to the 3 guys? They had bought some high end "toys" too. Wonder what happened to them...
Did COVID get them.😮@@northernerinnc3179
That's what I was thinking. Someone quite young seems to have passed away. Sad.
@@northernerinnc3179 I agree with you: three men lived in that house.
The paperwork said there was only 1 owner; and their only other relative lived in a different country. I can easily see this as college buddies, brothers, or cousins or immigrants sharing the house, but why did the other two guys leave behind their belongings? Why did the families of the other two, not want their belongings? oh, that is not a pleasant thought. eyeah.
I just worked out what I think happened, and like Yam Moods- it's too heartbreaking to think about it.
The registrations of the Cars and the motor bikes will confirm my horrible thoughts.
@@snehafernandez7211 or myocarditis or blood clots from the shot
That's really cool that you are able to give back to the community with these clean out projects
WOW Harley and Herculese what a find!! ... You'll probably make about 50 grand plus after you've moved stuff and given things to places. And then money back on cars too etc.. What a lot of great stuff. Place was taken good care of, also good quality furniture. Love the bikes... Some lucky person will be happy to buy the bikes
I’m so excited for another clear out! Each is unique - this is definitely a one off with the bikes, vehicles, tools, & games. Looking forward to the next installment.
Looking into other people's lives is so fascinating. I wonder what they would make of my house.
You do such important work. I love how you are so compassionate toward the people who lived in the homes you clear out. Living where you do, I think a snow blower may be a useful investment..
Hi Alexander and Melissa nice to see you together at this house clearance, hope you do well some good stuff around cars, motorbikes, and lots of tools best of luck love your videos 👍❤
Reminds me of going through my friends house after he passed. It was more emotional obviously since I knew the person. It was really weird. Same feeling I get watching this one. Dirty dishes, food in the fridge, dirty laundry. Folded clothes judt waiting to be worn. Boxes and clutter that were out to the side to be cleaned anothwr day. Except that day never came. It really makes you feel the weight of life. One day you're here and the next day you aren't. I'm glad you treated their stuff nicely and not just throwing things around and brishing things off. Instead takjng interest in what they might of had going on and what hobbies they enjoyed.
I know this is old, but it looks like a young man's stuff. Sad that a young man may have died.
Wow, amazing items in the garage and back yard. The furniture in the house looks solid and will an awesome donation.
So excited for your next adventure and to see what treasures you find. You clearly made a profit already with vehicles, motorcycles and tools.
The dirt bike was $1698 when new in 1978, Hercules 250 GS enduro, probably sell for about 6-8k at a collectors auction like Mecum have. $200 just to register and bid
How fantastic!! You really scored. Haven't been on your channel for a while so it was good to see what you two were up to. Good luck with moving everything and selling & donating. You are so kind to help the people get some nice furniture. Thank you.
This cat was cleaner then I can ever g dream. Much much respectful abode.
I chuckled when you said boating stuff but no boat... you were so busy looking at the bikes you forgot about kayaks..lol.
Personally, I think those couches will be fine for donating for the apartments set up. I have been known to buy a nice leather couch with a few cut spots and use a cover on the cushions until I could get it recovered. Not as much hidden treasures in this one, but do keep us informed as to your resale or revenue return on the electronics and the weapons as well as the vehicles.
I agree about the couches. I think they should be offered to the family who can decide whether to accept or not. They can use it until they are able to get something better or more to their liking.
A nice couch cover should hide any stains, the couch looked pretty solid.
So many great items here! And delighted about the furniture rehoming!
I love these clear out videos. Thank you Alex and Mellisa. I think what your doing with the furniture donations is such a Great thing.
This is the first time I have watched your channel. Very interesting house with a lot of good finds.
The house is absolutely great I would move in it the way that it is it is amazing I don't know how many houses you can find like that probably not many
I LOVE when y'all do these kind of videos! I can't wait to see what treasures will be found. God bless!
I can't help but wonder what happened to the people that lived here. They were young people. I'm happy for you but sad for them to lose a lifetime of cars, motorcycles, bikes, snowboards, etc. it's one thing when an elderly person dies but much sadder when someone still in the prime of their life is just gone. Poor family.
How do you know they were young? Older people play games too...
Obviously older people play games but what they’re saying is it it wasn’t a 78-year-old man based off of the items around the house come on now it’s sad. You know this person was young.
@@tyeater14 - Ha! Talk about making assumptions! I have friends in their 70's that have the exact types of items hanging around their homes...
@@Snarkapotamus You are being totally unfair with Julie Jorgensen. I am almost 71 and have some of those things also, but the overall picture is that the clothing, lack of aged personal items, no pictures on walls or counters, etc all indicate that a younger man lived there. The possibility of it being an older man is true. The probability of it being an older man is small. Learn to communicate with a little more niceness in your remarks please.
@@lincolnlandpicker - No I'm not. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it "unfair"...so stop accusing me of doing what you yourself and doing!
Good buy! A fantastic opportunity that turned in your favor pretty quickly! I'm happy for all the CI team! Thanks for the content...very enjoyable!
thanks for being honest about your keys. i lost mine yesterday and found them later in my pocket. you povied a good service. i was a bit scared for you until you opened the shed. sad that someone pass, but looked like he rock while alive.
ive just got to the part where they enter the shed and the mantra in my subconscious "he might not make his money back" completely ceased
Nice that you are doing it as you do it with dignity and respect
Nice little home. It looks like two generations lived there. The old Albums and all the young man toys. What a great buy! Looks like you did it again Alexander congratulations!
The EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 box at 25:30 was once containing a close to top tier graphics card from a few generations back. It can still be used for 1080p gaming if you find it and it works properly, as it still can compete with a modern RTX 3060 just without raytracing, I'd check inside the computer tower in the closet at 21:55. If it's in there the chances are that the rest of the computer parts in it is pretty top of the line from a few years back as well.
It appears to be in there. I have 2, it looks right. But it may be an upgrade rather than top of the line machine. Not that it matters, since it could hold stuff that has to go back to the family. Unless of course it gets backed up (probably for the best considering computers aren't cheap to ship).
@@RikkiCattermole Take out the hard drive/SSD and send that to the family, keep the computer. The Geforce could also be in the computer in the living room.
Looking at ebay UK depending on exact model this can be £200 upwards. During pandemic gaming graphics cards went crazy as supplies dried up and seem to be holding some value. Definitely worth pulling from whichever case it's in and selling separately and not unknowingly donating. Great video again and looks like a more manageable less stress clear out than previous. Looking forward to seeing your Snap on personal tool set upgrade
@@Ragnar8504 That doesn't work if it is encrypted. Need original hardware to have any hope of decrypting it.
@@RikkiCattermole True, you'd have to check that first. An encrypted hard drive/SSD in a gaming PC doesn't seem all that likely though.
I've never actually worked with HDD encryption so I wasn't aware that Bitlocker is tied to the hardware rather than just a software encryption until I read up on it after reading your reply!
Any regular flat bed will be able to winch that right through the snow without any problems at all. Don't waste your time shoveling anymore snow.
I use to do this for Bank foreclosures, fun times.
Looks like some great stuff! So glad it is not dusty and biohazard-ish :) Thinking about your health and well being :) Look forward to more episodes and adventure!
Glad to see another clear out video, they are my favorites. The suspense has begun on what you will find. Wonderful that you are donating the furniture to such a good cause. You are such good people.!!!!!
So good to see another house clearance, these are my favourite episodes. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
This video just popped in my feed today. Watching this is a bit sad because there’s no family to take care of these possessions.
This makes me want to go through my own home and clean out before my last days. I am over 65 and can still do this task so there’s not so much for the person who will take over.
There is a little plastic cap besides shifter you pop it off and you push that button underneath it and then you can get the key out
Much respect on what you decided to do with all that furniture. Maybe it wasn't high end pricey stuff but it was still in great condition and you could have gotten something for it. So nice that you found a great cause to give it to.❤️
Look for people who lost everything but our lives and have nothing my house got flooded by the upstairs arp so I have been in a shelter February5
A half way decent couch with a little tape in which a blanket can be put on is MUCH better than sitting on a hard floor 🙌. What A Blessing.
Sad. It seems to be a younger person's home. Rather minimalistic in the house, but not in the garage and shed.
Looks like a great find!
I am so glad you are donating the furniture to such a worthy cause . I wonder if they would take the dishes and any household appliances that don't go to auction as well . Might save you running to multiple places and would do a world of good. With all those vehicles. tools and sports equipment Im sure you have your money back . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
I’m so excited!! I loved your series about the potter’s house. Am looking forward to this one too. Great purchase!
Enjoyed your video.Cant wait for the next one.
This one is pretty exciting for the tools and other stuff in the garage. I think you are underestimating the value of the truck. Here in the states, used trucks, especially 4x4 and lifted are well over $10K US. Between the cars and the motorcycles you are well over your costs. The tools and other things are a huge bonus for your own garage along with the engine lift and stuff in the shed. It's going to be fun to figure out what to keep and what to sell.
It does look like it needs welding though, unless you sell it to Illinois or some other place without mandatory inspections.
Another clear out. I love that you bring us along for your adventures! Thankyou Alexander and Melissa.
Can not wait for the next one! We love these clearouts. Is it odd that they inspire us to get excited about our own housecleaning?😀
Good finds. That snap-on half inch impact gun gos for just over 900(hundred) now new I have to ask how much for the Harley. Always wanted one mite be my chance
I’m hooked ♥️👍👍 just watched the segment on your views on Un necessary comments. Love your thinking on the subject! Stay real 😊 much luck to you both.
Ohhh that truck looks fancy! I'd bet it's a super comfortable ride!
Hi Alex. I'm so happy to see you will be getting your money back with the vehicles, and the motorcycles! It is always exciting to see what you find! I will be here for every episode.
You scored MAJOR here! A clean house, and some valuable items. Jayman...
This was a great yoga session for me. I've had serious illnesses and an injury that led to an injury called sharko foot, Causing a serious disability. This means I'm not supposed to put excess pressure weight et cetera on my leg. I will definitely continue these yoga moves and catch up again soon❤ Thank you so much! It took me many years to recover from a multiple organ transplant and I'm now finally feeling well enough to do this! I'm so excited and looking forward to a vacation in just over a month. I have a lot of faith that this will help me to Get a little stronger.
Dude you made out just the garage will return your investment great buy ! Be happy
I love what you are doing with the furniture. Could the dishes and clothes be donated the same way? Thank you for having a good moral compass. God be with you all!
As my wife and I were watching this, she kept on saying how the person who lived here must have been my long lost twin. His house and belongings shockingly resemble my own before I was married up. How old was this guy if you may ask? I'm 33 and this guy could have been my best friend in another life 😂
He was about 60 but had a mid 20’s son
Looks like you struck gold again, Alexander, both with the house/shed/garage contents, and with the UA-cam interest! It looks like young people must have been involved there, so I feel sad hearing there was a death and no family around to handle the house contents. Those kind of buyouts must be difficult for you to undertake, but you always do the right thing and turn suffering and sadness into a blessing for someone. I like that the furniture is going to Ukrainian families. We are really looking forward to seeing you clean this property out and do well selling the good stuff. Please give your beautiful wife a hug from BanDana Gramma! ❤❤
I just found you , I'm already in love,
This is close to what my life and business is, a lot of hard 🤣
But yet a lot of fun, you never know what you're going to get in a box of chocolates"""😂 hahaha
""Well you know as I know
(God's blessings that he gives to)
Enjoy have fun..❤️🙏
Mary Christ's birthday to you. 🎄
That tool that you said was a toque… is a snap on impact !
Wow! You definitely got some really good stuff. Not a whole lot in the house, but the garage, he'd and back yard oh yes!!!! Enjoyed the walk through.
I'm so excited for this series. It's nice to see a clean house for you with lots of great stuff....Take care, greetings from Ontario...
I always look forward to these clear outs and I’m happy that you found some great items so far. Can’t wait to see how this all goes😮!
Be grateful it's fairly clean and doesn't really stink bad
Great finds in the house garage and shed can’t wait till you really start digging
Love these series! So excited to watch you discover all the treasures!
It's sad to see a house of a younger person that passed away. But quite an active guy that must have been.
Your sons will be able to together there own fitness with what they find in the house.
Looking forward to next episodes.
Alex said in another comment that the man who passed away was in his 60's, he had a son in his 20's so that is why we are seeing belongings of a younger person.
@@makeuplover6852 why didn't the son want all the stuff?
@@seabreezeA1A He mentioned at the beginning of the video that the only family member is living in another country so that makes it quite a lot harder to deal with items. Likely all items they left behind from their teenage days anyways so probably not worth much to them at that point or just unable to get back to handle it all.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!! Can't wait to see what you find in the house!! ❤ love the channel, Alex.
What no jumper cables? Dirt bike looked like it has fin cylinder, piston motor..
Thanks for sharing.
Heck of a find boss
I was in the trade many years and its a top buzz when your instincts prove right with a great big dollop of cream on the cake., More so when the buzz goes on and on ,can,t wait to see what little gems await ,happy hunting i really do miss the chase so much good luck. Razzo
These clean-out videos are some of my favorites to watch. Great score on the vehicles!
No jewelry? No Christmas stuff? No pottery? Definitely a Dude house. Always sad to see the remnants of a life that has passed but his belongings are in good hands.
Hmmmm, I didn't notice what was missing, but I did think that the men would really enjoy this one.
It clearly was cherry picked by someone earlier. Probably the seller.
I was also going to call it a Dude's house. (Not The Dude from the Big Lebowski)
Someone will want his Elvis records😂
Looking at all the things left behind, you get the impression of a relatively young person. Perhaps the overwhelm was not so much physical, for how much effort it would have taken to clean up after them, but emotional, from confronting the reality of their demise. So sad. As always, you are amazingly good at spotting value and keeping your chin up (not to mention, working much harder than most people … personally I’d have been worn out by just clearing away the snow …)
Everything in the house and garage are the cherry on top
