I’ve spent years buying antiques... and now I cash in! How will we do?!

- I’ve spent the last four years buying every cool antique and collectible I thought I could turn a profit on... now I get ready to auction off 600 of our unique treasures as I push for big results just in time for Christmas!
Was it worthwhile?
Will we make a profit or lose or hard earned cash?
Watch and see as we get ready for our December 5 auction at www.kauctions.ca
I will post an update video when the auction goes up, and then tune in to watch live results on auction day!
It’s all up in the air as we push to do our BIGGEST sale of the year! - Розваги
I am loving the find of Mary's paper drawings and notes, amazing. I found your channel because of Mary and I love her work. Congrats on the find Alex. peace
Blessed to see more Mary 🙏 thank you for sharing her with us again..made my heart warm tonight
You are so welcome
Sad to see Mary's things go. You have been a very good steward of them. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you kindly
Mary just keeps giving to you! 🙂🙂🙂
How I love seeing a new Curiosity upload. Six hundred items is a BIG project, but Alex is up to the task. That horned chair has been around since the days of your old shop. Why don't you auction off that oriental-looking statue of a lovely black lady? She has been around for years without selling. My hearts twinges at the purple Ansonia clock like the one my mom left to me. I sold it at a charity fund-raiser for just $15. I hope you get at least 10 times that much for it. Mary's legacy continues to b;less you. Here's wishing you a great return on your items.
You are doing the right thing Alex, it will all be worth the peace of mind it brings to you and your wonderful family! Cheers!!! K.
I used to complain that I was sick of continuing to pay for things that have already worn out! Now I’m more likely to wear out than the stuff I have.
To Wanda Pease..I laughed at your comment.I'm with you.ha ha
Me too. Your comment made me laugh.
The artists paper work should be sold as a group and made into a book to be sold to people who buy and collect her work! Good luck with the auction and Merry Christmas!
Marys house was my favorite videos wish you could buy or clean out another FULL house :)
There could never be another house to touch Mary's!
Mary’s house is how I found your channel, so super excited to see a bit more of her genius in this video. Bravo and I wish you lots of luck at the auction. 👍😊🇨🇦
Mary is a gift as an individual who keeps on giving and sharing her creativity and unique abilities. She continues to help make this world a better place through her beautiful art.
Wonderful choices. You are making decisions that will make your family more secure. Good idea to balance the debt ratio and create flow of goods through your shop while beefing up the international side of your business with such high quality items!
I love seeing all the beautiful old things. Thank you for showing them.
Alex,
Best wishes to you, Melissa and the family.
This is only the beginning.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
You have kept me positive when downsizing my stuff! Thanks Alex.
Hi Alex! I imagine this was one of the most difficult auctions to get ready for. It was emotional for me...I can only imagine what it was like for you to part with some of these treasures. Thinking of you and wishing you the best ever with this sale!
hey nice to see you! it's tough but I am motivated to end 2020 on a high note.
@@CuriosityIncorporated Hey Alex, nice to see you again as always 😊 and thank you for your nice reply! I can only reiterate, that I think you are one of the most courageous, loving and dedicated people I have ever had the privilege of actually having the chance to talk to! Blessings, my friend!
I can tell this is really hard for you. A couple times you looked close to tears...sniff sniff! You are a good person to think of the future like this, for you and your family! Keep the videos coming. I can't wait to hear how the comic book auction went. :)
Best of luck on the auction!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars! ❤️
I always love looking at all that stuff! But I used to own a bunch of stuff too. I know what it's like to be overwhelmed. I do not want to be that way again. That's why I watch this channel!😃😃😃😃
Really interesting and beautiful pieces that you have picked out for the auction. I am sure all your hard work will pay off. Good luck!
Allthe very best with this auction. You bring such enthusiasm to your work, you deserve the best
Your channel is really cool to watch, nice to see unique items. I hope you make a lot of money, you deserve all the success ever❤️👍🏼☃️
Hope the auction will go well for you.
I have a feeling that even by removing 600 items, the place still is full...
it is still full... but I notice a difference. had to move things around a little. :)
It's the shop version of the Tardis.
@@CuriosityIncorporated I had a neighhbour and his premise for"Is it full yet?"his response,"Can I put a wet finger inbetween;if not..now its full"Alex,your drive and focus is marvelous
Make copies of the pottery recipes to have a digital set that you could offer for sale as a download.
Viewer19 yes, good idea
I was thinking the same. A little shame to just chatter it, maybe worldwide without first doing that ☺️
Yes, I see a book in the making....
Good idea. I bought what I thought was some newspapers from Back to the Future, Hill Valley Telegraph. It was cheap, 10 USD, but turned out to be A4 paper sheet copies... My wrong, but looks nice framed on my wall.
Please, please put reserves on your priceless items. It makes me cry when they sell too cheap.
Alex !it’s good to have a clear out ,perhaps you have forgotten some of the items you have brought ,I watched the sale of Mary’s pottery,your a truly a kind decent human bean with a good heart an soul ,good luck with all you do lv Ann
Thanks for sharing and caring! Stay Safe!!
Mary was The gift that keeps giving. You were blessed to know her. ❤️❤️❤️
Good for you, Alex. You have to take your foot off first, to get to second base. You are really moving this inventory in a way that will pay off for you, with the new build. There will always be more goodies to find, too!
Hope you guys are doing alright! It’s been a though couple of months for all of us especially small business owners, we’ll pull through together!
Here is Hoping the auctions help you achieve your goals and dreams!! I really hope that the old location/ store sells or gets rented out soon!
NOT THE HARLEY ! I WAS TRYING TO SAVE TO BUY IT! LOL
You definitely are excited about that stuff. So much that you mentioned some things twice, which is adorable.
My prayers are with you get what you need I so injoy you and your family video
Looks like the makings of a fabulous auction. You worked hard for this one. Wishing you all the best from Central CA.
The auction will do extremely well! So many unique and awesome pieces 🙌😊
Yay! Thank you for a video, it is much needed💜💫💜
Some excellent pieces up for auction, looking forward to the sale....
I'm sure you will do quite well! Lots of really cool items to drool over.😁
If anyone can, you can Alex...we're pretty sure you'll do very, very well!
Hi Alex , hoping the auction goes well . You are looking tired , take time for yourself.
Wow, so much great stuff! It’s going to be a great auction!👍🏼
Prayers for you and auction Alex ❣️❣️
Completely understand paying down debts...I paid my house off in 8 years, never carried debt, etc.....i did without things others were buying to insure security of wife and family but never did without, invested regularly, made huge difference to retire early.
Im sure the auction will do really well.
I'm gonna miss the mask 😭😭
That green wall clock is very similar to one my parents had up on the dining room wall for many years. It was a cream colour. My family emigrated from England to Australia in 1959 and this was one of the pieces Mum & Dad brought with them.
Fab choices Alex, much luck to you and your lovely family! Keep up the great work! 🙂
Wish you all the best in your auctions. I pray for you and your family. May you achieve your goals through the Grace of God!
So many interesting pieces. I hope the auction goes well.
Best of luck and prayers the sale goes well.
You can do it! 🙌
Jet Spin is great fun to play. Classic pinball machine.
I'm still watching you vlog. Good luck at the auction alex. peace
Good luck with the auction. 👍🏾💯❤️. Hugz
Good luck Alex x
Good luck Alex.
Good Luck with the sale!
nice paint job on the little harley.
If the Harley Davidson is a 1943 WLC, it has not been restored to original condition. WLC's were built for the Royal Canadian Army, and were green (olive drab), usually with a Maple Leaf & serial number on the tank.
None the less, a very nice looking bike.
In the '60's, these could be bought at Army Surplus stores for as little as $25.00. In 1972, a friend bought a new, x-army 1957 Triumph TRW flat head 500 for $400.00. 2 years later, I went to a crown assets auction at CFB Downsview where the same bikes (some still in the crate) were going for $1500.00. We thought they were bid up way beyond their worth.
Awesome again 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Wow! another update, was looking out for one as a distraction from the the US election debarcle. So good to see Mary's pottery designs and her pots and scribblings, how cool. Great bunch of stuff Alex. From Saturday evening in New Zealand. Hi to all the clan.
Good luck on the sale, wish we were closer I'd love to come shop in person.
Meeeeee tooooo!
The pinball machines will help you reach your goal. There are people isolated at home during this pandemic and the pinball machine for the family is just what help them keep active. Mary is still giving with her talent.
Good luck Alex
Really curious how you log how much you paid for items, decide what items are worth, and pricing. Do you have everything on a spread sheet? Always interested in how people organize their business and you seem to be methodical in your approach. Been following you since the Potter's House, and truly enjoy your channel.
Alex, you sure do have the " stuff " from a to z i love it !! Notice items I've seen before in my travels as you pan the camera around youre fantastic store..I saw some vintage bicycle items in youre fantastic display cases ..I once was in a Classic bicycle club and I was restoring bikes and parts ...I'm getting back into this sort of stuff !! And having fun all over again... I hope this virus is gone soon so I can visit youre store ..I'm thinking on opening a store as well ( I had stores in my past ...and I still have the bug to run one ). Have a great two auctions !! You sure have quality and rare items ...I'm always amazed at youre videos and content ...great , great !! You and yourd family be healthy and safe and youre sister here in the states my freind . From Royal Oak Michigan / Tom
The best of luck Alex
thanks Suzi!
Enjoyed
sad to see more of Mary's stuff going and the pinball machines!! ;-( good luck on your auction !!!!!
Yes I'm doing the same but at a much smaller scale.
After watch your recent musicians home cleanup, you may need a bigger store!😃 Thank you for sharing
Lol... 600 pieces... you won't even see there is something gone... lol
Hope you gain some money... you deserve it... for your wonderful family and all the projects in the future... good luck and hang in there...
Enjoy your life...
Cool stuff. Good Luck with it 👍
Good luck with the auction
Will be watching the auction closely. Will have to pop into the store and see what it looks like with a bit more breathing room!
I'm thinking I would rotate everything and move it to the auction no matter what it is every 6 months that's on the shelves to keep it fresh love your videos can't wait till the next video
I can just hear your background music ,which funnily enough is the intro music to a Mudlarking channel from Wales I also watch on UA-cam... good choice..👍☺️
Oh at :41 through :47 you have a Schultz and Dooley set of steins from Utica Club Brewery, my hometown! I still have mine LOL
I love the leather jacket and moccasins. They look fairly old so must be old style beading. I'd love to see them up close lol
13:53 I hope that RCA Solitaire goes for a good price, being 24 carat gold plated and has that catalin front panel. Be sure to put in the description that it was THE most expensive personal portable made. The 54B series personal sets next to it should do pretty good as well..
That microphone was interesting to me. I will have follow that when the Auction is online.
I have to go and check out that auction. Not that I need more stuff haha but you know how it is no matter how much you already have if a good deal comes up you grab it. I will soon be shipping some items to a guy in Red Deer as soon as the e-transfer is done. So some of my stuff will be headed your way.
All that Definitely should get that money you need and more
Many nice items. Must have been some hard choices , this week. Hope it works out for your family.
it was tough for sure.. but we are hoping to make it a special sale :)
Goo Good luck bro love from 🇦🇺 Australia
The Mary treasures!!!!
Hey Alex, just an idea for Mary's notes; before you sell the originals compose them into a booklet so her knowledge can be spread wider, alternatively print them in a journal or upload them to a dedicated website?
So , as I’ve just found you and totally binge watching I’m distraught that MY two favorite Mary B pieces are going away ...the square vase 😢 omg, and THAT mask, lol the only 2 I would have kept 💗
Busy week but should pay off in the end 🤷🏻♀️😉😉🤗🤗🤗🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕
I love the store its awesome
Mary seems to keep on giving to you. I don't know if you have even thought of this buy why not name the new edition after Mary or whatever you have planned to place in it. Been enjoying your channel and it's nice to find someone who has a lot of knowledge. From Kansas so getting up North to see you isn't possible but will keep watching.
I bet selecting then pricing each item was like revisiting old friends. Good Luck!
Heh I see one item i'll probably be bidding on. Kastner is just down the street from me as well.
Hi Alex, the one thing I really liked or the thing I liked the most and think is the best piece is the face by Mary although i'm intrigued to find out how much it will make, I think I may have held onto it a while longer if I were you that is, good luck and all the best to you all.
First, first time!! Love you Archbold's!!!
Welcome Pam to the Archbold clan.
@@ivydickson7596 I 've been in the clan for awhile, thought I was first looking at the video. Glad to see some more less expensive Mary Borgstrom items up for bid. I might have to investigate ....for a friend of course!!
It’s amazing the amount of stuff you have,,,,it’s seems half of it is hiding in you’re store
Do you ever find yourself narrating your life when the camera is not on? You do a great job in making us feel like we are there, I think that's why your channel is so successful. Thanks for the fun.
Haven’t started talking to myself just yet :)
I wish I had known about the pen and seal kit. My own damned fault! I do have a little something for you but getting up and around is hard at the moment. Now I will have to participate in the auction.
