03:32would take us five years or something so I'm very hopeful that we can make it work and that you
03:37guys
03:37like the stuff you know what let's just get in and see it I think that's the best thing we
03:40could
03:40do the two of you guys go out around the backyard in the garage and just kind of see what
03:44we have
03:44layout wise and I need you to just go through the whole basement is that cool yeah all right I'll
03:48meet up
03:48with you guys afterwards we're going to take a tour upstairs yeah all right let's do it let's go
03:58this is spectacular yeah so this is just a very small portion we're in a toy store it just happens
04:05to be
04:05the living room of your dad's house this is original perfect condition I know kind of blown away here like
04:13he obviously picked a lot he went to stores a lot so he knew how to get the first pick
04:17oh yeah give
04:18the stock boy a tip he tells you what day they're putting on the hot wheels so that was my
04:23dad though
04:24as a kid I wanted to spend every weekend with him at the toy shows that was the most special
04:29thing in
04:30my life oh my god the video did not do this justice I'm looking all throughout the room and
04:36I'm seeing all the original boxes yeah I mean does this does this logo mean anything other than a
04:42really horrible football team in Pennsylvania it's steel that's Pennsylvania steel so this is
04:48incredible forged with care cherished everywhere Nylent steel toys born from the industrial revolution
04:56and America's steel boom these mini machines roared into homes in the 1920s but when world war ii hit in
05:031942 steel was rationed and toy makers pivoted to wood and plastic a detour that only made the
05:09surviving all steel originals more valuable in 2025 a 1920s Buddy L insurance patrol fire truck sold for
05:18$66,000 what's the actual goal with this property when we're done we want to keep it and be able
05:24to
05:24rent it out and we need it in a better state that it is okay so it needs to be
05:27empty yes dad loved this
05:30house so we want to keep it in the family these are not just toys those top two shelves are
05:35probably
05:35$5,000 that's insane I've never seen more than two together their dad is way beyond a collector I'm
05:43seeing vintage steel cars that are in great condition these are a collector's dream this is
05:49the hoarding version of a functioning alcoholic right yeah I mean this is yeah this is pretty amazing
05:58in the grand scheme of things we've seen a lot worse yeah we have but it's still a lot we
06:04got
06:04stuff in the sales oh pedal car back here a bunch of bikes I'm seeing hundreds of dollars just right
06:11here animal traps so maybe there's rats or something getting in here yeah you can smell you can smell you
06:16smell the cat yeah you can smell the animal that was in here and then a whole pile of mystery
06:21I mean I'm 5'9 and this hoard taller than me
06:26Caleb would get lost down here this is a lot of stuff that cast cars hot wheels box at the
06:36box I can't wait to take this cover off of her man
06:42all right you ready oh I'm ready let's see what she looks like holy smokes this is an Austin Healey
06:49Sprite
06:51nice they call it the bug eye it's got these headlights on the front they look like bug eyes
06:56but you know what over in uh Europe they called it the frog eye I love it man this thing
07:02is gorgeous
07:03nine times out of ten people say they have an amazing car and they don't this Austin Healey Sprite
07:09is the exception this car has been well maintained and cared for for many years
07:13the bug eyed car with the big grin that's the Austin Healey Sprite designed as a sports car for
07:20the daily driver bug eyes are sought after for their classic vintage charm without having to break the
07:25bank one pristine 1960 mk recently went for forty four thousand eight hundred dollars proof the auction
07:33numbers can look just as shocking as the car the hard part is I don't think I would fit in
07:38it
07:39so here's some of the red lines I can tell you right now that's a two hundred dollar car I
07:44know
07:44that's something I know that's something yeah a couple of these I've never even seen before it's
07:48got a couple cases of red lines there's more of these there's a whole nother case oh my god when
07:54you're looking at a hot wheel and you see a thin red line around the wheel those are the ones
07:58you want
07:59and then there's also this whole wall of these nylon trucks these are all incredible but that
08:06school bus is the holy grail wow but I'm seeing gun holsters and stuff do you think we'll find guns
08:12in here yeah 100% good possibility and I just have to say he kept them loaded yeah they always
08:19do yeah
08:19yeah yeah okay yeah so shoe horns there's that room talk about fall they're all just getting full
08:25at this point so my hunch is knowing your dad there's probably not going to be a ton of value
08:31in that room to me it looks right because he 100% effort 75% effort no effort yeah if
08:40anyone else
08:40walked into the scenario they would think oh my god I can't believe I left this for my kids
08:44right and your dad was thinking I left this for my kids how lucky are they you're so right
08:52all right let me go meet with my team find what they found and then I'll come back to you
08:55and we'll
08:55make a deal sounds good all right what's up guys hey Matt what's up Matt what are we thinking
09:02well it's pretty much the best toy collection I've ever seen in my entire life really yeah I'm I'm
09:08blown away awesome I didn't see the man of baseball but I did see some killer red line hot wheels
09:13what's the downstairs like hoarded to the top old school hoard yeah okay anything goat trail yeah
09:20anything of value yeah it's a few things of value still in the box it's a lot of hot wheels
09:24and all
09:24that okay well I'm excited I mean the car this is a 1961 Austin Healey Sprite holy cow awesome car
09:34not in perfect condition but you can tell somebody's put some money into it I know what I think this
09:39whole
09:39thing's gonna cost where do you think you're at it's minimal trash that's in in the garage I would
09:44say between 10 to 15,000 all right I'm thinking low to mid six figures so 100 to 120 that's
09:54if we
09:54get the right buyers well that's on you I know yeah all right let me get them Marnie Aaron come
09:59here real quick now that I've had the chance to meet with my team it's time to make a deal
10:04with Aaron and
10:04Marnie and I really don't want to lose out on this opportunity what do you think all right we
10:09definitely want to do it I mean no-brainer so our cleanup is probably gonna be between like 10 and
10:1615,000
10:17wow you're gonna have a house totally empty in six days so you'll be able to rent this house next
10:25week
10:25that being said we definitely think it's a six-figure hoard we think there's a hundred thousand plus in
10:31here we got to come up with the split how would you guys feel about 30 70 how about 75
10:4025 done you
10:44got a deal I love it all right you guys ready to get started yeah all right we're gonna call
10:49everybody and get going we're off to the races and there's a lot to get done in six days thank
10:54you guys
10:54for being here we got a lot of work to do we're gonna be going through the garage and then
10:58all
10:58upstairs there are live guns in this house there's a lot of really nice toys inside so the plan of
11:04attack is to put Mike and Chris inside while Kalen and I begin the hunt in the garage although it's
11:09really messy we saw some sporting good equipment in there and we think we might find the signed
11:14baseball it's my kind of garage let's start a very large dinosaur pile if we can oh yeah here we
11:19go
11:19right here car parts go over there this garage looks like it's 300 square feet it's probably 3,000
11:24square feet of stuff I hope it's worth something because it's gonna take an entire day I really
11:29need this garage to pay off that will go to sell that's a sweet old pogo stick man anybody ever
11:36seen
11:37an old guy break his leg before yeah nope one of the things we see a lot is people holding
11:45on to old
11:46happy meal toys by and large these are not worth holding on to a lot of hot wheels and remote
11:57control
11:58cars all right so this is a really cool toy this is a Northwest Airlines Japanese airplane lights up
12:07and what's really cool the door opens up and you see the passengers easily 150 to 250 dollars I love
12:15it
12:18uh what is this gold rings hey Mike what you got Chris any guns nope but I found this dude
12:31awesome
12:31find thank you hey 14 karat hoarders will use anything to stash items trash bags envelopes even
12:39prescription bottles they're like jewelry cases for hoarders that's cool man there's probably a
12:45few hundred dollars worth of gold here's a good broom be careful where y'all work oh yes oh
12:54roller skates dude big Bobby car this is a bummer this is vintage it would have sold for probably
13:0110 20 bucks but it's covered in cat piss and you can't get it out of plastic so that's trash
13:07I mean
13:07unfortunately for us this garage definitely had a cat problem cats pee on everything they poop on
13:13everything man it's ripe over here dude it immediately lets me think I'm gonna get half the value hey this
13:19is true ah there we go oh oh you always find it I mean this is the cat's house right
13:25yep now whoo
13:29these are goods pez dispensers that would be a value but because they've been peed on okay this is crazy
13:43this is absolutely disgusting and then I got a hundred dollar bike right next to it you know in
13:53hoarding I call this a negative space if I add up the labor and the trash costs I actually made
13:58less
13:59than I spent to clean out this space I can't afford to have that anywhere else in this house this
14:03guys
14:04watch out this is pretty nasty it's raining poop the garage has been picked through and cleared out
14:23now it's time to focus on the inside of the house Mike's gonna focus on the living room while Chris
14:28digs
14:29through the kitchen I can go what is this bingo watches this is what I'm talking about a few gold
14:43a few
14:44silver he got up-to-date watches vintage watches oh snap oh yeah we definitely can see these more money
14:57oh yeah look what I found money money money
15:11look this is gonna be I think where we find some of his best stuff Marnie and Aaron's dad's pride
15:16and
15:16joy was his collection of press deal toys we've already found a ton in the bedroom but his most
15:22prized possessions were displayed in the living room some of which I've never seen in person before
15:27you see that box on the shelf there is there a car in there ah wah wah wah dude nothing
15:37to worry about
15:37this box alone is probably a 40 to 80 dollar box and to find one with clean graphics and it's
15:46not crushed
15:46or otherwise torn is really hard this is a fire rescue squad van is made by a company called Nylent
15:53Nylent vehicles are really sought after they're usually very realistic and very true to the actual
16:00vehicles like it seemingly in near mint condition they made a bunch of different versions like just
16:06looking around the room I see the true value up on the shelf there we have the holiday and sign
16:12that
16:12goes with the van normally you just find one or the other but then we've also got some other
16:16manufacturers this station wagon is actually a buddy L there's a camp trailer that's supposed to be with
16:23it oh here it is I would not be shocked if this room alone could be a 20 to 40
16:32thousand dollar room
16:33there's no doubt this collection will garner high demand but we need buyers to come through with deep
16:38pockets who are willing to pay full price use clothes day two we dug through the garage but there was
16:51nothing of value so now we're gonna focus on the inside of the house but we need to find our
16:55target
16:56items ASAP so what you got we got a bunch of watches holy moly it's not every day that you
17:04get to work

17:11a hell
17:12of a collection I mean Wittenauer stainless steel I mean you have the real brands here Lord Elgin
17:18Gruen Precision this is an Elgin this should bring 250 dollars they all have value should go anywhere

17:37so
17:38you see those jewels in there you know what they're for it makes it run smoother so you don't have
17:43to oil

18:55no
18:57Aaron's dad left this amazing Austin Healey and it looks like it's in really good condition
19:01but the only way to truly know is for me and Aaron to take it on a test drive
19:05and who wouldn't want to take this car
19:07on the road
19:16now there's that boy driving
19:18I love it
19:20I love it

19:27bug eye was one of dad's big final purchases
19:30one hell of a car
19:31when I got to drive that car for one last time

19:38dude I love it
19:40it's awesome
19:42but I also understand why you need to sell it

19:45I have three kids
19:46they're not fitting in the backseat
19:48because there is no backseat
19:49there is no backseat
19:49so

21:15one two three four five six seven eight guns
21:19that's an AMT backup
21:20typically hidden in handcuffed pouches
21:22for law enforcement
21:23these are local guns
21:25locally made
21:26and they're highly collectible
21:27they're not worth millions
21:29but holy cow
21:31you know this isn't it
21:32guarantee you there are more guns
21:35yeah
21:36I'm gonna put it past them

21:44I'll let you handle those
21:46there's one
21:46Marnie and Aaron told me their dad had guns stashed away somewhere
21:49and they were not joking
21:51we just found a ton in the living room
21:53and they're really gonna help out on our sales goal
21:56there's a Colt
21:57oh that's nice
21:58there's another one
22:00Smith & Wesson
22:01I don't know what he was preparing for
22:02but he was ready
22:03he knew anybody stealing his toys
22:05these have a lot of value
22:07specifically this one
22:08this is that little brownie
22:10these are pocket pistols
22:11and they were slipped into waistcoats and boots for centuries
22:14make sure everybody knows
22:16there are guns in the house
22:17we're gonna assume that they're live
22:18alright great job dude
22:20this is awesome
22:22holy cow
22:26although we lost a lot of value in the garage
22:28today Chris
22:30Kaelin and I are gonna start in the basement
22:32and hopefully find that Mickey Mantle baseball
22:34I can see progress
22:36barely
22:40sorry
22:40this is one of the densest hordes I've ever seen
22:43these are all plastic
22:44still sealed
22:45no damage
22:47that is excellent
22:49hold up
22:53bingo
22:55this is what I'm talking about
22:57silver coins
22:59pure money
23:00look at this dude
23:02hey Mike
23:04yo Matt
23:05what is that
23:06this is a spark gun
23:09if I had to guess without doing any research
23:12I'd say this is probably at least a $20 or $30
23:16zapper
23:23alright I hear you
23:24hey Matt
23:25pick through it
23:26you know I know you're looking for some super valuable treasures
23:30I went through this
23:31but being that it's a lot of TV marketing stuff
23:34I would want to pay about $28.50
23:37the real value is $3,300 to $3,700
23:41so of course we're gonna buy it
23:42and then we're gonna piece it out and make a profit
23:44what's a chance of getting it around $3,000
23:47I mean I think if that makes the deal work
23:49I would definitely give you $3,000
23:51let's do it
23:52okay
23:52that makes sense
23:53thank you dude
23:54I appreciate it man
23:55yeah thank you
24:01alright Robert
24:02take a moment
24:03look around
24:04I found a local toy collector
24:06who's interested in the most valuable
24:08pressed steel toys
24:09at a minimum
24:10these toys are worth $40,000
24:12if we don't hit that mark
24:14we're gonna fall well below our goal
24:16of $100,000 in profit
24:18this is Buddy L
24:20Buddy L
24:21this is
24:22Nyland
24:23Tonka
24:24it's nice stuff
24:25I like it
24:26it's nice to have a van this clean
24:29but it is an M-I-M-B
24:31mint mint box
24:32you see like here
24:33with the paint over here
24:36see it
24:36how it's thin
24:37the worth of that decreased
24:39I know tons of collectors and dealers
24:42and the first time you meet them
24:44they're gonna test you

26:55that their dad
26:56was a smaller guy
26:57in stature
26:58and they loved
26:58these tiny guns
26:59because they fit
27:00perfectly in his hands

27:02the Chief Special
27:03it was really popular
27:05with law enforcement officers
27:06who had a desk job
27:07it's a slimmer profile
27:09so it didn't interfere
27:10with the armrest
