The people on this show are not what I would consider hoarders compared to the houses with garbage up to the ceiling, no working plumbing etc. These people are collectors. I 💖 the elephant clock.
Would've sold those hideous paintings in a heartbeat. They would've covered all their past storage fees with plenty left over. Also, their "antiques expert", I think her name is Gillian Anderson Price, is dreadful. She persuaded that lovely lady to part with her items for a fraction of their price to other dealers. Bad form.
I concur. Preach!
Gillian Anderson Price is terrible! She offers no professional expertise or advice. Her only commentary is whether or not SHE likes something.
Isaac Newton was a hoarder. He owned over 700 volumes on alchemy and chemistry. Most of those volumes wound up in Cambridge University Library, the rest, to private owners.
The effort of a massive collector wound up benefiting a generation of studiers of alchemy to this very day.
Many people speak against hoarders. I personally view hoarders as conservators. They have something within them that makes them want to conserve and preserve items. We need people like this on earth. For instance, think of an item that you really want to own, and it's a blast from the past, but online sellers charge an arm and a leg for it, a hoarder probably would not, a hoarder you could bargain with. Additionally, you could get your item(s) in perfect condition, because they could have piles of brand new boxes of the item(s) that you desire.
If no one desired to conserve any possessions, nothing would be available for those who want it. That would be a sad world to live in. Especially a wasteful one, if everyone just threw perfectly good items into trash bags.
Fun fact: Thomas Jefferson was a hoarder. He hoarded so many books that his wife "suggested" he donate them. One fine afternoon, twelve horses, each pulling wooden bins filled to the brim with books, pulled up alongside the steps of what would become the future Library of Congress. That's right folks, the Library of Congress was started by a hoarder. Aren't you glad?
(I found that Library of Congress roots through older books and microfilms).
That's aswesome!
It definitely depends.
I mean, the US show about them is pretty extreme. But Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners (?) shows essentially the same: people who hoard to cope.
And get attached to things.
I definitely can relate to hoarding for history's sake
But, boy, who knows whatll hapoen after I die, so
basically this is just a ripoff where they get the "loser hoarder" to sell their valuables to rich people who are merely "eccentric"
Eclectic Reader Wow, I love historical facts but have never heard this!!
you're thinking of collectors. The woman with the nice items she bought from around the world was a collector. the man who wanted to keep a gym bag he hadn't seen in 14 years was a hoarder. hoarding is terrible for the the hoarder and the people around them. It's usually triggered by trauma or grief. I used to have a difficult time with not tying people to objects. When my uncle died my mom ended up getting a lot of his stuff and I took a bowl. One day it got knocked over and broke. I collapsed on the floor sobbing as if he'd died all over again. That bowl didn't mean anything to anyone else but to me if I kept it safe I was keeping my uncle alive. That's hoarding. It starts with bowls and moves quickly into garbage and before you know it you're too afraid to clean or throw anything away. My grandmother was a hoarder (or I might not have recognized the same tendencies in myself) and her house was condemned. You're thinking oh a little extra stuff but the reality is she couldn't get to her toilet to use it. She had wild animals loose in the house (snakes, rats, cats). If you had eaten from her kitchen (not that anyone without a death wish would) You'd have become ill. I don't know what triggered the hoarding in my grandmother, she led a hard life so it could have been a number of things, but I know hoarding is not a positive trait.
That triple named "expert" irritated me. Particularly when she kept poking the timepiece portion of the elephant clock with the golf club, beginning at 26:40 - which was fortunately thwarted by the hostess. What a load of hot air Ms. Price spewed.
What a lovely cousin this lady has. Patient, gracious and kind... The wise cousin suggested to sit down and think about that clock and Trish turned her back on her ... who remembers the Grace Jones interview!
I want to be friends with Trish.
She seems like such a cool human being. 😍
She loved her husband so much that she kept what he found diving and now she wants to spoil her grandson.
What an amazing human being. ❤️
Just what actually is the expertise of "Jillian Andersen Price" or whatever the name was? Instead of preseting provenance, she made statements like, "sixties or something; golf's not my sport..." or "I don't like it; it's not my style." Since when is the personal taste of the appraiser the question? The objective retail value in the current time, and the provenance are key. She offered nothing but referrals.
mtherese13 totally agree! (and she wore ridiculous shoes that she could barely walk in!)
Her tight jeans and heeled shoes suggests she's going for her own reality show.
There are so many tv antiques experts with personality, but she is soooo boring!!!! Never commits to anything, makes banal comments and seems to just want to strut around. Really annoys me!
And ha ha--Wedgewood dinner set sold for 120!
Hear, hear! I absolutely agree with you and was about to make the same comment, but yours sums it up beautifully. She really is quite useless as a so called appraiser. I actually think she's a member of the production crew whom they've dragged in to add an additional layer to the show. It's obvious that she knows next to nothing.
Why do 9/10 of the people in the auction rooms always look like their gonna fall asleep ? XD
They're all on the dole and spend their time sitting around and their money at auctions.
The guy is going to sell the elephant for five times what he paid her for it :)
That elephant clock is worth a lot more money than that old man paid her. I looked it up and it's worth $1,764.00 lowest was $450. He cheated her big time.
Sybley Thomas indeed. I never trust the people who appraise it who also want to purchase it. I would charge them twice what they offer...cuz they want to make money!
That is so true. And a good appraiser will tell you just that they do not buy the items they appraise.
Conflict of interest
I brought an item to an antique shop and the man appraised and gave me $40 for it later I learned even at scrap value it was worth $200. Lesson learned
I loved that clock, cause I love elephants.
Sadly, that's how antique dealers stay in business. As much as I love antiques, I question the morality of it. Remember my Mom being taken. 😥
I think he saved her time and the hassle of selling online to chancers.
Trish is such a lovely woman! I love her upbeat, positive attitude.
To be honest, I would “bid” on being her friend, I think she is the best treasure out of all her amazing stuff.
Give stuff to charity. Makes it easier to get rid of excess stuff and give to the needy. You don’t miss it once its gone believe me.
Silver Snow I found some bowls from the seventies worth more than the £1 I paid for them in a charity shop.
No I miss it
I just looked up antique elephant moving clock and found this exact one, from France. It is selling for $1,764.
I absolutely love that clock!!! Even prior to knowing the approximate value. It's just such a cool pc.
I heard that Trish did the same thing. When she found out the true value, she turned up at the clock guy's store after hours, angrily demanding her money back. When he refused, she smashed the clock over his head and jumped on his back. She then stole his car and crashed it through the antique "expert's" house, pinning her against her mid-century dining table. Trish is now in a padded cell at the Broadmoor Mental Asylum.
Enjoyed the episode.... HATEEEED "expertise Jillian" participating in it.
Not sure about the elephant pendulum estimate as other's have mentioned. The question was never asked: "What is it worth?" There was just a forced bid. Passed down from a grandfather and deemed original. There are reproductions. Clock maker said it was quite old.
I don't think that clock seller who specializes in building clocks and movie props was the best choice. Although, he did recognize the clock. Mentioning "I have seen it as a Kangaroo" seemed to cheapen it a bit and set up for a cheap offer IMO.
It would have been good to have known the materials - and to get a second opinion!
Anyway, a Patinated Bronze Elephant Clock, France, 1880 is selling for CA$5,672.75 here:
www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/clocks/patinated-bronze-elephant-clock-france-1880/id-f_1065508/
That looks to me like it's the same clock only it's on a wooden base
The "French Bronze Elephant Clock" is worth (in mint condition) 3700 euro's.
Cypress1337 , wow, that’s interesting.
@@lovelyskull3483 Yeah, he made some profit, no doubt.
Would have SAVED the sea captain's chest as a family heirloom to GIVE to my Grandson. It means a lot more than burning up the money in my opinion.
Easy to use sea chest in a house, great undies drawer
People, don't touch your gilt with bare hands, the oils from your skin damage it. Source: working as Preventive Conservator at Hampton Court Palace.
I just knew I've seen the last painting before. King James 3rd. When he said who it was I was like , duh. Paintings of him have been in tv shows and movies
Thank you, this was such a good watch.
Why on earth did you change the expert. I really enjoyed seeing the guy you had on previously. He gave useful tips and showed genuine knowledge of the items he was looking at. Maybe that was the problem, he wasn't just eye candy tottering around on high heels, not actually showing ANY knowledge or interest whatsoever in the items he was looking at. Unlike this woman you now have.
Very interested to see some of these hoarder shows coming back in 2 years to see what's happened. I don't think simply throwing everything out of the house takes care of the problem for these people. It seems to me that's simply throwing everything away just gives them a new canvas to start all over.
Trish has an incredible home and collection of belongings that she has let go to downsizing.
I want Trish to be my grandma ❤️. She’s so sweet
The truth is we just don't need the amount of stuff we buy.
How can you possibly call that wealthy lady's stuff a hoard
And wow real warm and cosy seating arrangement on the couple's place wow do they look happy or what
Fuckyer! Love me a good hoarders doco! Best Friday night ever!
For what it's worth - these seem to be pretty rich people. I'm not sure that they are a good 'sampling' of the British population.
Dang that lady has so many shiny things 🥺 . I would have so much trouble getting rid of any of it !!!!
What a delightful program
If you are very wealthy, why not have several homes near one another, decorated in different styles and rotate living between them?
Thats so funny!
American storage units are easily accessible spaces. Not crates. Interesting
So are british storage units however,due to lack of space some literally look like shipping containers.
This is what’s considered “long term storage”. It’s cheaper but you don’t have as easy access. Normal storage units are the same as in America; Padlocks, easy access etc.
Stephanie we have pods too.
There is the Pods.
I can't believe she sold that gorgeous captain's seachest! I would have kept that forever.
I'm surprised that they didn't try to sell the less popular painting of the man. I am sure someone would have liked it
The couple do not want to part eith their paintings. They are rich. They dont need any more money. Its great they keep the paintings.
10 minutes into the show and we haven't even started!
Hahaha! The first painting looks like the fella that IPOT uses on his channel! (Sir Patrick of Maplethorp)!!
These people are not hoarders
Yah I'm just waiting to see what lovely goodies the lady has
I love watching this
I wonder if the experts have some kind of special deal with sellers/dealers to make some money. Seems that way. hum....
I was wondering if that woman got a 'commision' for those referrals as well.
Aggie was a cleaner, hasn't a clue about antiques, I'd run from her help
A skip is a large rubbish container.
Same conversation with every client and every episode.
Maybe "never keeping anything" is as twisted as "wanting to keep everything"❓🤔 These people aren't hoarders.✅
Why not buy a residence in which they can keep stuff, rather than pay for a storage unit. It's like purchasing the items repeatedly.
Some people do and it's a lot lot worse! These people don't think right..
Tbh I payed for a website I did not use for about 2 years at 16 bucks a month and Photoshop for a year at 10 bucks a month ..36 dollars a month just because I was too lazy to cancel and thought ' ah maybe I will need it '. Imagine this is how it happens.
That's really crazy to have so many things when there's people all over the world need some of that stuff for their homes and apartments. I'll buy some of the things for my daughter's place and for others here in Miami Florida that need it. What is she going to do with all of that stuff?
Maggie, do you have your own site ? Would love to subscribe to it.
Does this thing glitch the whole way through 😭
To me anyone who can afford storage in the first place,got to have sommin worth storeing/most people who are skint lose everything to ballifs etc //
Well, of course,the sentimental side is definitely important. However ! If he lived 14 years without ever seeing the paintings, admiring the art and beauty ... it’s probably not that treasured anyways. I hood keep one or 2, my favorites and sale the ones that fetch the highest price so I can payback the storage money spent on all that rubbish at least.
You are so right.
It's nice to see that people in the comment section think they know the value of the things better than someone who works with those things. Not every old thing has value, not every old thing is collectible, many of them are just nice old things and nowadays people dont buy them, simple as that.
Because some do know
Kind of wasteful
would be better if it were Keep It Skip It Sell It OR donate to a charity shop .....
Bizarre.
I think Trish is so fun!
It’s not really hoarding, it’s just old tut in storage.
Roger said he would start the bidding at 300, why didn't u ask 500. Meet at 400. You lot don't advise well. You are working with the buyers imo. But I think Roger liked the lady
That's one bad toupee
I Iove this show! I just don't understand why they call the trash pile "skip". It's confusing.
Survivor 5522 a skip in the UK is what Americans call a dumpster.
A skip is a large rubbish container.
I'm crackers about the Brits descriptives
Please stop talking when the auctioneer is taking bids
Help me with my room‽
First ( why does it matter? It doesn't lol)
Best comment
Denacen entertainment, makes me feel good I got rid of my crap, none was valuable 😂
I can't believe all the rubbish
😱😱😱
Embarrassing!!!!!!
I love that chest ♡♡♡
The poor storage facility operators - no one think of their business. If everybody follow this examples, they have no bread to eat.
I enjoyed watching. Thank you! But one day we will leave all these treasures. Most important is accept Jesus Christ, be saved, and have a mansion in heaven..John 3:16.
Geeeeer
oops someone forgot to spell check the title ..it should " decided to let go " not decide to let go
Maybe it could be decide to do it
She doesn't realise how her long hair ages her.
10th
Trish is very giggly and bubbly, isn't she?
Is the art appraiser of legal age?
