Transcript

00:00I love my collection.

00:02If it's kind of ugly, why don't we get rid of it?

00:05Would you get rid of an ugly child?

00:08Look in a box that doesn't have blow molds like this.

00:10See, it's all stacked.

00:11If there's even one Santa Claus,

00:12I would walk through a mud puddle of toxic waste.

00:16The box is moist.

00:18Ow, ow, girl.

00:19Ew!

00:20I don't know.

00:21We're done with that.

00:23Look at this.

00:24We got one.

00:25Oh, God.

00:25It's going to go to your house.

00:27Holly is my aunt.

00:28We see it, we get it.

00:30She's the person I call when I can't tell my mom or dad

00:33that I want to buy something.

00:34How about $600 for everything?

00:36So I have about half of the money for that.

00:38Would you be able to front me the other half of that?

00:42Well.

00:54Hi, guys.

00:55It's St. Nick here.

00:55Welcome to my crazy Christmas basement.

00:58Let's take a tour.

00:58I'm 26, and I still live here with my parents.

01:02Down here usually is at least half of the year is decorated.

01:06Everybody's bathroom needs ceramic trees.

01:08We got them everywhere.

01:09I was born on Christmas Day, so the first night of my life,

01:12I was literally put in a Santa hat and a Santa outfit right at the hospital.

01:16So I go by St. Nick.

01:19Here is my crown jewel of trees.

01:21It's a white bottle brush tree, which is really, really hard to find.

01:25This came straight out of a drugstore, so I'm thinking it's at least 50 years old.

01:29Over here is like another crown jewel.

01:32This was only made for about two or three years, and it actually starts snowing.

01:37I can show you right here.

01:38The snow gets sucked up from the bottom and then blows through the whole tree like it's snowing.

01:45I'll probably never get rid of my stuff because I am so obsessed with collecting.

01:50It makes me all bubbly.

01:51I feel like a kid again.

01:52So anytime I could feel that way in this crazy world, I will.

01:55And I'll never let anybody tell me otherwise.

01:58Usually every garland is covering every little edge.

02:01See how there's a couple edges over on that window there?

02:04They cover every single edge.

02:05I hate seeing edges.

02:07If I go in your house, I will be judging your tree.

02:09Not you physically, but your tree.

02:12You got to see my bedroom.

02:13Go on.

02:17In here is my really, really special stuff.

02:19Anything that could break and I don't want anybody touching, I keep behind these doors.

02:25Oh, and speaking of cool things, this is my idea of my dream house, but in little miniature scale.

02:33The wallpaper is actually real wrapping paper from the 1960s.

02:36And why not?

02:37You got to have the elf going to the bathroom.

02:39Isn't he precious?

02:40I love him.

02:42Every night I sit in this bed and I get to have the view of this entire crazy Christmas extravaganza.

02:48So you could just sit here and relax and look at all the really cool shiny stuff.

02:53Isn't it cool?

02:55Look, this tree took me eight hours.

02:58Wow.

02:59And it keeps not moving.

03:01Wait.

03:01Watch.

03:02Wait.

03:04Wait.

03:05Wait.

03:08She spins.

03:09Just very not consistently.

03:12Isn't it nice?

03:14I used to just sit home and just strictly play with Santa Clauses, but once I met him,

03:19I finally actually found out what a social life is.

03:22You used to just strictly play with Santa Claus.

03:25I did.

03:26I'm only like 50% done with this room.

03:28To normal people?

03:30This is done.

03:32There's literally 20 snowmen that go on that couch.

03:34Do they look like they're there?

03:35Look at how cute that is.

03:39He's definitely obsessed.

03:41He's in his own little world, 24-7.

03:44Then he definitely misses out on a lot of stuff, but whatever he sets his mind on is what he's

03:50going to do until he gets it done.

03:51Why are you looking at it like that?

03:53Stop.

03:53Because it's freaky.

03:54Freaky and cool.

04:03All right.

04:03Let's go look for the Santa.

04:05I don't know exactly where it is, but we're going to find it.

04:08Anytime I'm free, I will always want to be out in my workshop fixing, refurbishing, repainting,

04:15just getting stuff ready for this holiday season.

04:17Especially if you have as many projects as I do, it's pretty much a never-ending cycle.

04:20I had a Santa that I already started to rehab a couple months ago, so I have to find this

04:26Santa Claus and get it going.

04:28Nicholas, when are we going to put this stuff away?

04:31Look at it.

04:32Isn't that so nice?

04:33Nick is my youngest of seven.

04:36As a kid, he always was a collector, and it's never going to stop.

04:41I just want to admire it still.

04:42Put them away, please.

04:44I know.

04:44I'll get there.

04:45We're in the middle of summer.

04:46I do construction, which is also kind of a creative outlet.

04:49You get to build, nail, create, paint.

04:52A lot of the times I'm painting, which I find very relaxing.

04:56So exactly what does it look like and what is it in?

04:59It's in a box, and it's got a red suit.

05:02I'll pick anything off the shelf that I feel is in that category.

05:06Okay.

05:07You go that way.

05:08You go that way.

05:11Look in a box that doesn't have blow molds like this.

05:13See, it's all stacked.

05:14My barn is sort of an organized mess.

05:16It's 40 by 80, and I specifically wanted the 16-foot ceiling so that I could put all of

05:21my giant things just straight in there.

05:24Is this Pinocchio?

05:25What the hell is this?

05:26That ain't going nowhere.

05:27That used to hang on State Street in Chicago.

05:29There's just so much stuff overflowing.

05:31If somebody steps on something, I got probably 100 more of them.

05:34What is that?

05:36Is that a banana?

05:37Okay.

05:38Oh, it's Batty Bear.

05:40What is this?

05:41Stop.

05:42I created that thing in high school.

05:44Its hair is falling off.

05:45It's terrifying.

05:46Oh, no.

05:47Oh, it's definitely hoarding.

05:49But cool stuff.

05:50Is it really hoarding if it's cool and people think it's cool?

05:53That's the real question.

05:55Is this a bag of-

05:56Leave that stuff.

05:56Leave that.

05:57That's all craft stuff.

05:59It's a bag of bags.

06:00Okay, get the bigger stuff out of the way, please.

06:03Nick's collection has cost him upwards of $100,000 or more.

06:10It is concerning, but he knows what's worth buying.

06:14And everything that he purchased can be turned over and he can make three times, four times

06:21off of every single thing.

06:23Oh, my God.

06:24This is actually mine.

06:25What is this?

06:26Oh.

06:28If Nick had more barns, he would fill them all.

06:32He has so much stuff, it's endless.

06:35And he could never get enough stuff.

06:38Ooh.

06:39Oh, God.

06:40Don't drop anything on me, please.

06:43Found him.

06:44I think I am the real life elf.

06:46Here, let me just-

06:47You're good.

06:49You're good.

06:49You're fine.

06:50Every single thing I eat is covered in syrup.

06:52It gives me energy.

06:53And that's probably why I'm always smiling and jittery, because I'm just 90% sugar.

06:58Ooh, I'm so happy I found it.

06:59Oh, yeah.

07:00It took long enough.

07:01Us too.

07:08Hope, are you down here?

07:09Yeah.

07:10Oh, Jesus.

07:12What are you doing here?

07:13Well, I came over to get that thing for your mom, but where did all this stuff come from?

07:20Well, you know, over time, as a collector, it just kind of builds up.

07:24I guess.

07:25I'm Hope.

07:26This is my dad, Chris.

07:27And I love Christmas.

07:29Yeah, she loves Christmas to an extreme, I guess, is the way to put it.

07:32I am obsessed with making Christmas headbands.

07:34I did make one for you.

07:35Oh, thank you, honey.

07:37Okay.

07:38How does that feel?

07:38Great.

07:39Just great.

07:44Why do you need two of those?

07:46Yeah, I think one would be good, you know?

07:48Well, I have three.

07:50That's nice.

07:51My collection is pretty big.

07:53It started with blow molds, and now it's like the tchotchkes, and it's huge.

07:56My entire basement is Christmas.

07:59I'm going to take those two, and let me grab the last one.

08:02Isn't there enough up there already?

08:04Well, I'm going to decorate for the living room, too.

08:06Have you seen my house decorated for Christmas?

08:12Yeah.

08:14My love of Christmas started as early as I can remember when I was a child.

08:18Okay, so last year Kyle and I were talking about suspending Santa and the reindeer from

08:21the ceiling.

08:22Do you think you could help me do that?

08:24No.

08:25My dad, back in the 90s, you know, in his heyday, really decorated for Christmas.

08:31He would go out and string all the trees outside and put all the blow molds.

08:34I bought blow molds just because I knew the kids would like them.

08:38No actual intent of creating this passion.

08:41Will you grab this one for me?

08:42Yeah, sure.

08:43My dad started a Christmas dish set for my mom, and as a kid, we would buy my mom pieces

08:48of it and give that to her for Christmas.

08:51So it really started my love for collecting.

08:53Open up your right...

08:54Yeah, there we go.

08:55Turn for me.

08:56There we go.

08:56In a previous profession, I have dealt with hoarders, and I can see the signs.

09:04So we're getting there.

09:05The good signs.

09:05It was his job to go into people's houses for safety codes.

09:08So he has seen his fair share, but I'm not hoarding garbage.

09:12I'm hoarding Christmas.

09:13Hope.

09:19My God.

09:21Isn't it great?

09:22This was all in the basement?

09:24Yeah, but doesn't it look awesome?

09:25And this is only room one of four.

09:27How did you pay for all of this?

09:29Well, I do have a job.

09:32I am a special education teacher, grades two through four this year.

09:36This is a very popular one with my students, I will say.

09:38They love it.

09:40See?

09:41It moves.

09:42Do you see a box anywhere, Dad, that says flocked?

09:47Mmm.

09:48Oh, here it is.

09:50Oh, there you go.

09:51Snow flocking tree.

09:53That probably has asbestos in it.

09:55You know, Dad, that any dark hole that I can crawl into to find something vintage and

09:59Christmas filled with asbestos, sign me up.

10:01Asbestos.

10:02That's what I said.

10:03Asbestos.

10:06How do you pay for all this, honey?

10:08You know, every time I look at your checking account, there's not very much in it.

10:12I got my first job at the mall when I was 15.

10:14And he's been on my account ever since because I needed a cosigner.

10:17You know, when she gets paid, you know, I see what her check is.

10:20Then she transfers money into her savings account, which I have no control over.

10:24He can't see it.

10:25And then I don't know what's in there.

10:28You know, now I think it's time that we cut bait.

10:31I don't think it's time.

10:32We're on a 15-year streak.

10:34I say at least get to 20.

10:36Any money that I put into Vintage Christmas, Dad, I'm going to get back out of it.

10:39Yeah?

10:39I've sold a ton at my sale this past summer.

10:42And your P&L on that is how much?

10:45What's a P&L?

10:46Oh, God.

10:48Any money I make from selling parts of my collection is going to go right back into the collection.

10:52I don't see why I would put that money back into my checking account when it's only going to come back out.

10:58Oh, Dad, by the way, later this week, can I borrow your truck?

11:01I have to go pick up a chair for Kyle.

11:03It's not Christmas.

11:04It's just a chair.

11:05Nothing extra.

11:06Because the last time I gave you my truck, you came home with blow molds.

11:11It was an emergency.

11:12That's not an emergency, Hope.

11:14Trust me.

11:15In your definition, I would consider that an emergency.

11:18I don't understand having so much, but she's my daughter and I love her, so...

11:24You've always been very close.

11:26Like, total daddy's girl.

11:31But you're sure you're just picking up a chair?

11:33My intention right now that I know about this sale is to pick up a chair and nothing else,

11:37and I need your big truck for this big chair.

11:40Okay, honey, sure.

11:41And can you also put gas in it?

11:42Because I'm low on funds.

11:46What is this?

11:47We're in the beginning of a slasher movie.

11:49I'll take a little peek.

11:50Can you squint your eyes?

11:52Yeah.

11:52You can see that this section is brighter.

11:54Wait, so we're going to have 200 people here, and you want them to squint?

11:57We see it.

11:58We get it.

11:59Where's the chair?

12:00I have to come home with a chair.

12:02What are you doing?

12:10I'm trying to put these bugs on a tree, but I can't find a spot.

12:14The tree's done.

12:15No, I know the tree's done, but we have bugs, and I thought I bought more of these.

12:18And somebody touched something.

12:19I think something broke because somebody moved something, because there's no way I would put

12:22two ornaments like this next to each other.

12:25Okay, well, no one's been here.

12:26You've been here.

12:27I don't touch this tree.

12:29We are months, months away from the Christmas party.

12:34And sometimes this relaxes me.

12:36No, but are you redoing the whole thing?

12:39No, I'm just redoing this.

12:40There's only about 20% left to do in the house.

12:43I thought we were done.

12:44You're going to change 20%?

12:45No, but we didn't do anything in the living room.

12:47I have to add some things.

12:48Because there's a new concept, a new vision that I'm having, and I have to execute it.

12:53Well, I mean, I guess it's good it's July.

12:55Here's a spot.

12:56So we don't run out of time again.

12:57You're stressing me out.

12:58I'm Dominic Joseph, and this is my husband, Matt.

13:02Dominic Joseph, sorry.

13:03Did you change your name?

13:06Hey, I'm Matt, and I live in New York with my husband, Dominic.

13:11We have been together for just over 20 years, married for 10.

13:16Matt discovered my Christmas fetish.

13:21Wait, wait, wait, back up.

13:22You can't say fetish.

13:24I'm, like, legal.

13:25But that's still legal.

13:27Matt discovered my Christmas obsession when he came up to visit my family for the first time.

13:34I saw all of the Christmas stuff on that trip.

13:42And you were like, wow, this is cool.

13:48It could use a little more magnolia, because when you squint your eyes, you could see that

13:51this section is brighter than that section.

13:54So that's given the illusion that that section has lights out when it really doesn't.

13:59It's just, it's just we didn't fill this one enough.

14:01I started Christmas collecting since I was, like, seven.

14:08It started because I think my mother wouldn't let me decorate anything.

14:13So I think it was all this repressed energy.

14:15And then finally, at seven years old, I got a ladder and decorated the outside of the house.

14:20At that point, my mother realized that I might have had a skill set that she didn't have to

14:24work so hard decorating anymore.

14:26This is very bright.

14:28Why don't we just put less lights on the tree?

14:29You can't have the elegant, warm glow of a tree if you don't hide the lights.

14:35When you squint your eyes, you could see the dark spots of the tree.

14:40It's pretty dim and very warm.

14:43And then you get to this section, and it's on fire.

14:46I mean, it might as well be at a hardware store.

14:48We used to have New Year's Eve parties, and I would not like it so much because it went

14:54from, like, all the warmth of Christmas into the New Year's explosion.

14:58So we started to have a small Christmas party, like 20 people.

15:02And it just morphed into this bigger party.

15:05And it takes many months to get the decorating done.

15:09Wait, so we're going to have 200 people here, and you want them to squint?

15:13No, they don't need to squint, but when the lights come down, they'll see that it's one

15:16big, beautiful glow, not all this brightness.

15:20But if you only notice it when you squint, that's the whole point.

15:23Just, just, the squint is a test to see where it needs more magnolia and less magnolia.

15:31When decorating season is coming, if Dominic says, I'm just going to change a couple things,

15:36it'll be fine, this season will be easy, no, never.

15:40He always changes everything.

15:42But it absolutely is like therapy to me.

15:46We have so much stuff.

15:56Look, how many wreaths?

15:58One, two, three, four, five.

15:59Five times five, that's 25.

16:02Probably 40 wreaths right there.

16:03Well, if there's 40, why are you asking me how many?

16:05You just counted them.

16:05Well, I'm just trying to say.

16:06So 40 wreaths.

16:08And what are these?

16:09What's this?

16:10Do you know how many you have?

16:11Well, how many windows do we have?

16:13There's one for each window.

16:14That's not a hard one.

16:15You don't even know how much you have.

16:16I do, too.

16:17The amount of things that are downstairs is a lot more than even I realize sometimes.

16:26I think that's one of many boxes of sticks.

16:27No, this is the only box of sticks that are white.

16:30If I have to go get a box for him or if I'm looking for something or honestly, if I'm looking

16:34for him, so if it's kind of ugly, why don't we get rid of it?

16:38Would you get rid of an ugly child?

16:40Nope.

16:41He's like sometimes three rows behind of shelves and boxes and spaces, and I forget just how

16:49much there is.

16:49Twelve boxes of vintage ornaments.

16:52I own an antique shop, and I love my collection.

16:56I mean, there's no doubt about it.

16:57Just like somebody would buy a fancy car.

17:00I know they're materialistic things, but they do bring me joy.

17:03So how many of these cosmic stars do you have?

17:07Well, two broke.

17:08So whatever it is, minus two.

17:10Okay, but maybe that's the whole point.

17:11You don't know the quantity minus two.

17:14I'm just saying, look at all this stuff.

17:16How can you not find something, something, something?

17:20If I come up with a new concept in my head, chances are I don't have it here because it's

17:28new.

17:29Just what if you had at your fingertips the entirety of your collection?

17:36Wait, is this for a last will and testament?

17:38Like, why do we need an accurate count on how many ornaments I have?

17:39No, because I think if you knew how much you had...

17:42It doesn't matter.

17:43I could have a billion dollars worth of Christmas stuff, but that's not going to make me change

17:46my mind and not make me want the two things that I want.

17:48What if you could pick the person that can come in and do it?

17:51Dominic has so much that I sometimes think he forgets what he has.

17:56My hope with the assessor is that once he sees this accounting and this list, he may realize,

18:02oh, perhaps I don't always need to be going out and getting more and more and more.

18:08If you really want to have it assessed, then I'm fine.

18:11So we're going to do it?

18:13We can do it.

18:13Oh, I'm so excited to go to this pick.

18:21It's at a really, really old, abandoned-looking type building.

18:24What are you hoping to get out of this place?

18:27Something mechanical.

18:28Something very old and moves.

18:30I just got this text from Paul, and I know him from picking paths.

18:36There's a new place that I could pick from, like across the street from his other place.

18:41I ran right as soon as I could.

18:43I don't do running.

18:45Come on.

18:46Let's go.

18:47When I pick, I'm after a certain decade of decorations, pretty much from the 50s to the

18:52early 70s, the most glitter, the most shine, the most fiberglass and other materials you

18:58probably shouldn't touch.

18:59Let's go.

19:02What the hell is this place?

19:04Whoa.

19:05Look at this place.

19:07I love it.

19:08It smells like mold.

19:10It looks like it had a roof link for a hundred years.

19:14Oh, my God.

19:15Oh, they made it.

19:17We're here.

19:18Hi, guys.

19:18Hey, how you doing?

19:19Good to see you.

19:20This is the place you picked?

19:23Yeah, this is the place.

19:24All right.

19:25I know it's a little dirty, but it smells like someone's basement in here.

19:29Sometimes when I pick, it's just so much stuff to move around.

19:32I need my extra family and friends just to have a helping hand.

19:36Did you bring any, like, cloths or, like, anything?

19:40I did not.

19:41You guys didn't think to bring gloves?

19:43You just told us to show up.

19:43And we're both wearing white?

19:45Why would you wear white?

19:46If you're going to a Nick pick, it's going to be a dirty place.

19:49A Nick pick?

19:50A Nick pick?

19:51Yes.

19:51A Nick pick.

19:53We definitely didn't come prepared, but we'll do anything for Nick.

19:58Guys, look at these things.

19:59A little tacky.

20:00I think I like it.

20:01I love extra tacky.

20:02At least it's not, doesn't look dirty.

20:04It might be.

20:05I'm actually, it's turning my fingers black.

20:07Yes, it's a little bit of an addiction, but I think that's the way it's supposed to be.

20:10Yeah, I mean, he's Saint Nick.

20:12Like, this is his whole entire life.

20:14Like, he loves this, and we're just here to support him and just, you know, be in it.

20:19Is this maybe something?

20:21Oh, I like him.

20:22Yeah?

20:22Yes, yes, yes.

20:23We're taking it home.

20:24I don't care if you think it's stained and dirty.

20:27Hey, Nick, what about this?

20:28Wow.

20:29They look like little garlands?

20:31That's cool.

20:32I have, in the past, gone through some really, really crazy, dirty places.

20:37Oh, more questionable, question mark Christmas stuff?

20:40I don't know, it still looks like it got wet.

20:42The box is moist.

20:44Ow, ow, girl.

20:45Ew, what?

20:46I don't know, it helped.

20:48Oh, no.

20:49Okay, that's pretty.

20:51Here, you want some?

20:52No, keep that away from all the graves.

20:55We're done.

20:56We're done with that.

20:57If I could get one cool thing, I will literally walk through the nastiest thing in the world,

21:02because why not?

21:03I feel like I shouldn't be going back here, but...

21:06I feel like we're in...

21:07What is this?

21:09Wait, wait, wait, I'm going to go down.

21:11Okay, this does not look safe.

21:15Oh, my goodness.

21:17Ow.

21:18Okay, I'm literally shaking right now.

21:20Look at that.

21:21This feels like the beginning of a slasher movie.

21:24What is going on down here?

21:26What is going on down here?

21:29Look at that.

21:30Ugh.

21:31Actually, you know what?

21:32I'm going to take a little peek.

21:33I'll take a little peek.

21:35Poop watch.

21:35Don't you don't have to step in that.

21:37Ew.

21:38There might be, like, some creepy dolls or, like, skeletons or, like...

21:41Oh, guys, no.

21:42Right.

21:43Okay, I think it's haunted.

21:45Definitely a dead body down there.

21:47Yeah, I'm good.

21:48I'm good.

21:48I'm okay.

21:49That is the Christmas stuff down there could stay.

21:52Yeah, exactly.

21:52I'm good with that.

21:53I had to have just a look, just to be sure that there was absolutely nothing down there.

21:58Whoa, whoa, whoa.

21:59Oh, my God.

22:00How did none of you see this?

22:02Look at how huge it is.

22:04What?

22:04What is it?

22:05A Santa Claus.

22:06It's so dirty, but wow.

22:08What do you think that's worth?

22:09I'm afraid to touch it.

22:10It looks so fragile.

22:11Tyler, can I have your help?

22:13The big, strong man.

22:14Pick it up.

22:15Get it.

22:16Picked it up.

22:21What are you doing?

22:22You did not.

22:23Okay, be nice.

22:24Promise?

22:25I need a promise that you're not going to hurt Santa.

22:27Yes, give me it.

22:28You better be nice.

22:29Holy crap.

22:30Don't throw it.

22:31Falling apart.

22:32Oh, my gosh.

22:32I don't care.

22:33Don't throw it.

22:33Little goggles.

22:35Mary, no.

22:37That's sacrilege.

22:41Wait, let me get a picture of that real quick.

22:46All good now.

22:49All right, let's go.

22:50Let's go.

22:51Let's go.

22:51I'm going to have to call my dad and use his trailer.

22:53I think the arm might fall off, too.

22:55It's bad enough its head snapped off.

23:04Hey, how are you?

23:06Elaine?

23:06Fine.

23:06Dominic.

23:07Dominic.

23:07Nice to meet you.

23:09And this is Marty.

23:10Marty, what's up?

23:12Hi.

23:13Hi.

23:14Oh, God, you're so cute.

23:14Oh, my God.

23:16Well, welcome.

23:18Yeah, it's a lot at once, but here you are.

23:23I'm Elaine, and I am a fine arts, antiques, collectibles,

23:29and household item appraiser.

23:31Let's go downstairs.

23:32All right.

23:33So this is where all the magic takes place.

23:36Everything I create is pretty much done down here.

23:39So my husband wants you to give an assessment, account, inventory, because he insists that

23:48I have too much, but there's always room.

23:50This is a little over the top, but I like over the top.

23:57What's going on?

23:57I don't know.

23:58Hi, I'm Matt.

23:58Hi, Matt.

23:59Nice to meet you.

24:00Thanks for helping us.

24:01Oh, you are welcome.

24:02I am overwhelmed.

24:05Just a little bit of stuff.

24:06How many of the nutcrackers are there?

24:08A whole bunch.

24:08The basement is probably like 2,500 square feet, and the majority of it is holiday decorations.

24:16This is one of my favorite rooms.

24:19Have you ever seen anything quite like this?

24:21I don't think so.

24:24This is another room we need inventoried with your team of counting elves.

24:29All righty, let's see the wall.

24:41Holy cats.

24:43Wow.

24:44I asked to borrow my dad's truck the other day to go pick up a chair for my boyfriend,

24:48Kyle, knowing that this chair was being held at an estate sale by my friends, and also knowing

24:53that there was boxes of smelly vintage Christmas.

24:55So I knew quite literally I wasn't going to be leaving with just a chair.

25:00And I think my dad might never admit that, but he knows that too.

25:03He knew.

25:05Where did you hear about this one?

25:07My friend Lori, she does like clean outs, and she was like, hey, you want to come through

25:11and just look?

25:12So this is like literally before anyone's even been here.

25:14Well, let's start digging in.

25:18Look at this.

25:20We got one.

25:21Oh, God.

25:22Right off the bat.

25:23Oh, my God.

25:24He's so cute.

25:24It's going to go to your house.

25:26Holly is my aunt.

25:27We see it, we get it.

25:29And she's the person I call when I can't tell my mom or dad that I want to buy something.

25:33See her with her little face.

25:35Oh, the angel?

25:36Yeah, let's add her in there.

25:36I like her.

25:37You want this one?

25:37Yep.

25:38There we go.

25:39I don't know that I would call her an enabler.

25:41I don't like that word so much.

25:42I like supporter.

25:44Oh, this is what we're talking about, Hope.

25:47This is it.

25:48Oh, yeah.

25:49I haven't seen a poinsettia thing like this.

25:51Have you?

25:52I do want the trees, too, the vintage pipe cleaner trees.

25:54That's been on my list.

25:55There's definitely asbestos in that.

25:58I think for the ornaments, maybe I'll just ask how much for the lot.

26:01If you don't take them, you're going to regret it.

26:04You're so right.

26:05Take them all.

26:06That's what I say.

26:07I'm so happy you were free today.

26:08I'm her emotional shopping support aunt.

26:12How's that?

26:13Wait till you see this room.

26:14Oh, yeah.

26:15And I am her financier.

26:18Oh, my.

26:18Here's the Christmas.

26:19Oh, my gosh.

26:19Look at it.

26:21She must have crocheted these.

26:23All of the trees.

26:24Is that a cover?

26:24Is that a wine bottle cover?

26:25It is.

26:26Oh, that's got to go on top of something.

26:28That is great.

26:28Oh, that's so cute.

26:29This reminds me of, like, the stockings that grandma knit for all of us with our names on them.

26:33Hi, ladies.

26:34Are you finding treasures?

26:35Yes, we have found a lot.

26:37You've met my Aunt Holly, right?

26:38I have, yes.

26:39Yeah, absolutely.

26:40So I had a question for you.

26:43There's, like, a bucket or two buckets of ornaments in that back room.

26:46And then there's all of this Christmas.

26:48We were wondering if we could do, like, a lot listing or a lot sale.

26:51So I've known Hope for about three years.

26:53She's one of our best customers.

26:55She's been a friend, and she buys from us all the time.

26:58She loves to give all old things a new home and give them a new purpose.

27:01For everything on this table and the ornaments in the back.

27:04Yes, and then everything on that table, all the Christmas as well.

27:07Do you have a price in mind?

27:10No.

27:11Well, because you're a good customer, how about $600 for everything?

27:17$600 for all of it.

27:18Okay.

27:20Yeah, I think $600 will work for that, for the ornaments and these two tables.

27:23But would you be interested in everything in the basement, upstairs, and this room for $1,200?

27:29If it's Christmas related?

27:31Yes, just the Christmas.

27:33And most of it's vintage?

27:34Yes, most of it's vintage.

27:36Would you be interested in that?

27:38What are you thinking, Hal?

27:43Do you need help?

27:45I think I'm good.

27:47I was supposed to be gone for an hour for a chair.

27:49There is no room for that.

27:51Are you guys ready for this?

27:52Yes!

27:53Three, two, one!

27:58Would you be interested in everything in the basement, upstairs, and this room for $1,200?

28:04Would you be interested in that?

28:06What are you thinking, Hal?

28:08There's a lot, and there's some great stuff in here.

28:12A lot of vintage.

28:13I'll help you go through it.

28:14You wanna?

28:15Well, let me ask you this first.

28:17I don't get paid on the 12th.

28:18Okay.

28:19So I have about half of the money for that.

28:21Would you be able to front me the other half of that?

28:26Well, all right, I'll back you.

28:30We got a deal then.

28:30All right, great.

28:32I'm happy.

28:32I think you'll be pleased.

28:33I am really excited.

28:34Let me go get some boxes so we can start wrapping this up.

28:37Okay.

28:37And I appreciate you again.

28:38Perfect, thank you.

28:40Oh, this will be great.

28:41So buying sight unseen is pretty common for me.

28:45It's just like such a rush.

28:46I got all this stuff around me.

28:47It smells great.

28:48It's such adrenaline for me.

28:50Okay, so $1,200, what did I just do?

28:52I was supposed to be going for an hour for a chair.

28:55You haven't been here that long, have you?

28:56Where's the chair?

28:57What chair?

28:58I have to come home with a chair.

28:59We'll find a chair.

29:00$1,200 is definitely on the higher end of what I've spent.

29:03Again, I think it's one of those emergency situations where you act now,

29:08or you're a sad Sally and you go home and you're like,

29:11I should have done that.

29:12And then you're wondering what was in that Christmas box that you missed out on.

29:16And I would rather not live with that and just take the money.

29:20That chair is not going with us.

29:22There's no room for that.

29:25Oh, let's take this one.

29:28You said it was a rocker.

29:29It's not a lie.

29:31I did plan on getting the chair and then I saw much room the chair would take up.

29:35And then I found a different chair.

29:36So I wasn't a lie.

29:38I don't like lying.

29:39Well, I hope Kyle likes his chair.

29:41I did come home with a chair.

29:43I intended to come home with a chair.

29:44It wasn't the chair I thought of, but I came home with a chair.

29:47All good intention.

29:48Well, we should really get home and try and hide some of this.

29:51We'll face the music, but there'll be Christmas music.

29:55Yay!

29:56I don't know if I'm ready for Christmas music after this.

29:59Christmas cocktail?

30:01All right.

30:01Christmas cocktail.

30:02Christmas cocktail.

30:08The warehouse started because I was an antique collector and we would run sales once a month

30:20there.

30:20And now it houses some of my larger decorations and a bunch of Christmas trees.

30:25I don't know everything that's in a warehouse.

30:28It's been years of stuff just sitting there.

30:31With a crown and everything.

30:46So, whenever I go in and I do find something, it does inspire me because I'm like, oh, this

30:51is great.

30:52I remember buying this 40 years ago, but now I'm getting to use it and bring it to life

30:58again.

30:58And that's really a cool feeling.

31:00There it is.

31:02Hello?

31:05Not now.

31:06No.

31:07Hello?

31:10Hi.

31:10Where are you?

31:11I'm over here in the back corner.

31:14Do you need help?

31:15Um, no, I think I'm good.

31:19I'll be right out.

31:20Hold on.

31:20He can't see this.

31:21He can't see this.

31:23Wait, hold on.

31:25What are you doing?

31:27I was just, I was counting inventory.

31:30Why are you being weird?

31:31I'm not being weird.

31:32You're being weird.

31:34Can I get through here?

31:37You could.

31:39Try not to break anything.

31:41Wait, I want to come back.

31:45Wait, I want to come back.

31:51Oh, Matt, you're here for three seconds.

31:54Three seconds.

31:55It's all right.

31:56It's fine.

31:56Three seconds.

31:57I didn't break it.

31:58I didn't break anything.

31:59No.

31:59I'm just crooked.

32:00What are you doing?

32:01I am going through all the inventory.

32:07Really?

32:08Yeah.

32:09Seriously.

32:10This doesn't look like you're going through an inventory.

32:12I am.

32:12One, two, three, four, five.

32:15She can easily count the trees.

32:17It's other stuff.

32:19Um, did you buy something?

32:23Technically, maybe.

32:25I thought we agreed that we're going to do an assessment.

32:28We're going to get an idea of what the inventory is.

32:30No, we didn't really agree.

32:32I had said if we found something, then I would go with a different concept.

32:35But if we did not find something, I'm pretty sure I said this, we would use the original.

32:40But we're not even done.

32:41So, I had this incredible vision, and I knew I'd put the peacocks in a warehouse somewhere,

32:49and I had to find them.

32:51So, that's why I went to the warehouse.

32:52I'll just say, this is the most bizarre thing.

32:55It's not that bizarre.

32:56It's wonderful.

32:57Look at how many bedazzled things.

32:59We'll call this one mamarachi and the other one liberachi.

33:03Okay, so, uh, definitely not following the rules.

33:07Like, you don't even need to Christmas decorate with this.

33:09It's done.

33:10But, so we're done.

33:11Yeah.

33:11Did you say done?

33:12It's finished.

33:13No more purchases.

33:14No more purchases.

33:15We're good.

33:16Grab the bird.

33:17Let's get mamarachi out of the warehouse.

33:19Mamarachi and get the other rachi.

33:23Hope.

33:24Yeah, Dad, I'm up here.

33:25Hope, okay.

33:27Hi, honey.

33:28Hi, Dad.

33:29How'd it go?

33:29Oh, it went really well.

33:30Yeah?

33:30Are you done with my truck?

33:32Yeah.

33:32Yeah?

33:33Huh?

33:33And did you get Kyle's chair?

33:35I did get Kyle's chair.

33:36Yeah?

33:38That?

33:39Yeah.

33:39I don't know why you needed my truck to get this.

33:47You're right, Dad.

33:48I didn't need your truck for this chair, but I did know I was going to the estate sale,

33:51and I figured, you know, better to have it, not need it, than need it, not have it.

33:55And I got some extra Christmas things.

33:58Yeah, I must have got a lot of extra Christmas things, because my checking account says it's

34:01minus 600 bucks.

34:03Uh-huh.

34:04And I talked to your mom, and she said, you didn't spend 600 bucks, you spent $1,200.

34:10Well, she's right.

34:11This is true.

34:11And Holly did front me the other $600.

34:13Oh, jeez.

34:13Hope.

34:14Hope.

34:14Okay, but look, Dad.

34:15Vintage Christmas is obviously a hot commodity right now, and because we are in September,

34:19we're getting closer to the season.

34:21Yeah, but look at all this, honey.

34:23I, I, it's, you know.

34:26It's an investment.

34:27So, do you see the Santa will mold that I got?

34:29Yeah.

34:30Okay, you know, I paid like four bucks for him.

34:32Yeah.

34:32Let me just show you what he sells for.

34:36$145, Dad.

34:38Yeah.

34:38So, while you have access to my checking account for emergencies like this, you don't actually

34:42see the income part of this for me.

34:45Yeah, I guess I don't see your income at all.

34:47But I've actually sold this much in my account so far.

34:50$15,000.

34:52Wow.

34:53Were you expecting that?

34:54No, I guess I wasn't.

34:56See, it's fine.

34:57It's all safe.

34:58We're all good.

34:59Hope, if you're going to make that kind of profit, then we got to get organized.

35:02We got to get a ledger sheet.

35:04You know, what you paid, what you sold it for, and list everything in inventory.

35:08So, that way, we can have a definite profit and loss.

35:12So, a whole list of every single item that I buy and then I sell.

35:15Yes.

35:16Do people do that in real life?

35:17Yes, they do.

35:19Hope, you've done great.

35:20But I think now is the time that we have to cut the checking account so you can manage

35:26your own money and you'll learn from it, even though you will bounce a few checks.

35:30But I think it'll be a good learning experience for you, honey.

35:34I don't think I need that learning experience.

35:37I don't think we're there yet.

35:38Just list everything you buy and everything you sell and then the difference of what you

35:46made on it.

35:47That's all.

35:48It's very simple.

35:48Okay, the profit.

35:49Sounds good.

35:53Love you, Pop.

35:54Love you, too, honey.

35:55I could do way worse things.

35:56I could put my money into, like, stock markets that crash and then what do you have?

35:59Nothing.

36:00You don't have all this, that's for sure.

36:02You don't have all this, that's for sure, yeah.

36:03What do I have to show for my spending habits?

36:06All this profit.

36:07Yeah.

36:07Mm-hmm.

36:25Come on.

36:28Slow.

36:29Keep going.

36:30Keep going.

36:31Right, stop.

36:32Stop.

36:32There you go.

36:33Good.

36:34What now?

36:35A lot more.

36:36The good stuff.

36:38Nick, where do you want all of this stuff?

36:40Just anywhere it fits.

36:42Make it fit.

36:43My dad helped me with his trailer, which I'm very grateful for, and we loaded up all the

36:46stuff that I wanted to get out of there, and now we're back, and my friends are ready

36:50to unload it until every last piece is out.

36:52Hopefully they stay energized to get it all out of there.

36:56Oh, wow.

36:56All right, let's focus on getting the things in the garage.

36:59I want to look in it.

37:00You don't get to look in that right now.

37:01Why?

37:01I want to look in it.

37:02Because we've spent enough time on this.

37:05Yeah, we're starving.

37:06You're starving.

37:07Yeah.

37:08Here, I could take that.

37:09What's in that box?

37:10I don't know, but I'm not letting Nick look at it right now.

37:12Guys, I need help.

37:13All right.

37:14Tyler.

37:15Hey, Pete, how come you get gloves and we don't?

37:18Hey, you're already covered in grime.

37:19Mine as well.

37:19I'll take one more.

37:20Okay.

37:21Here, Mary, you get the other ones.

37:23Oh, my favorite.

37:25Those are really cool.

37:26Jeez, Tyler.

37:27How did it get like this?

37:29Because he's messy.

37:29So it looks like this all year long until he puts everything out?

37:34Even after.

37:35Okay.

37:36It just doesn't stop.

37:38So even half this stuff doesn't come out on his display?

37:41Nope.

37:42Okay.

37:42What are you talking about over there?

37:44This looks like the place we were just in.

37:46Why are you buying more?

37:48Not why don't you buy more?

37:50You don't need any more.

37:50I think you're good.

37:52Does this place look like I could see the floor?

37:54I don't want to be able to walk.

37:56It's a storage room for a reason.

37:59You store stuff in it.

38:00I bestow upon you the last thing in this trailer.

38:03Yay!

38:05And now you guys, you guys can go.

38:07Are done.

38:07And I'm so happy to eat dinner in a few minutes.

38:10So let's go.

38:11Um, I might stay here.

38:12What?

38:14I want to work on stuff.

38:16I did promise them that I would go out to dinner with them, but I wouldn't even be able to eat thinking about the Santa Claus just sitting there all alone, you know?

38:24Thanks, guys.

38:25You're welcome.

38:26I got to be here and just see it till the end.

38:36Oh, my God.

38:38The prince is up and at him already.

38:40Hi.

38:41Good morning.

38:42Guess what?

38:46What's up?

38:47The elves have finished their work.

38:49The inventory's done.

38:51Are you ready?

38:52I'll just, just a couple samplings, right?

38:54Um, how many wreaths do you think you have?

38:5852.

38:5977.

38:59How many ornaments do you think you have?

39:055,000?

39:06I have that many.

39:06Yeah.

39:06How many string lights do you think you have?

39:08That work or don't work?

39:10That work or don't work.

39:11You have 2.6 miles of string lights. You could wrap the Brooklyn Bridge back and forth and half again, 2.5 times. One Indianapolis speedway. And then the elves also said it's the length of the National Mall.

39:24That's impossible.

39:25How many trees do you think you have?

39:25Yeah. 40.

39:26You have to go a lot higher. 60.

39:28You have to go a lot higher. 60.

39:29You have 121.

39:30Right, but they don't all count because some of them are white and I don't like the white ones.

39:34Doesn't matter. It was super satisfying to see that assessor's report come through. All I was trying to do was just give you an idea of what you had.

39:41You were reluctant to let me buy them, but now look at them.

39:46Oh?

39:47That's impossible.

39:48That's impossible.

39:49How many trees do you think you have?

39:5040.

39:51You have to go a lot higher.

39:5260.

39:53You have 121.

39:54Right, but they don't all count because some of them are white and I don't like the white ones.

39:57Doesn't matter.

39:58It was super satisfying to see that assessor's report come through.

40:01All I was trying to do was just give you an idea of what you had.

40:03Oh, it's coming together.

40:05Did it help at all?

40:07Do you feel any sense of satisfaction of having this count?

40:11Sure.

40:12Yeah.

40:13No, it made me feel better.

40:15That's so not believable.

40:18So this was truly just for me.

40:20I see that a lot is going on and that it's just the typical Dominic, more is more.

40:26Well, I'm going to try to be more subtle.

40:28At the end of the day, I'm good with that.

40:30He loves Christmas and I love him.

40:33OK.

40:34We're going to try to spare a secret.
