Ellen let's see a year on this although I gotta admit my my Roman my Roman numerals are a little off I can't even find a date dr. Ellen right there so oh oh here here's gonna be a collectible here's the Teddy Ruxpin right there Teddy Ruxpin remember Teddy Ruxpin actually they told you the story so now we have the book yeah this this is gonna be sold on on eBay that's an eBay for sure and things like this sci-fi usually go pretty well to just want to look a few more pieces down here just to see like what's this Ohio development and publicity Commission looks like mice got the edge yeah mice got the it well mice only got the edge see some of these books can be worth hundreds of dollars we just don't know unless we check each one and it's obviously a process to check every single one beyond the frontier there's money in here it's just hard to know how much okay this one actually says toys so I'm hoping I'm hoping because we all know that's my favorite and frankly I think it sells the best although this does not look like toys but oh wow wow there looks like there's some pretty cool stuff in here though okay look at this he has this as wood art okay two dollars this isn't wood art this is actually the base of a wood planer so wood planers if you were to look up wood planers on ebay you'll see that some of these people collect nothing but just wood planers so this would be a collectible piece because the metal planer piece would come in here the handle would be up here you'd go back and forth that's probably has some value if we can actually identify what it went to and that may take a little bit of work but that could be the difference between a dollar or hundreds of dollars look at this look at this I think we have a jewelry box we do there is a jewelry box in there look at this here that's a really cool wood car play that just zoom that's pretty awesome oh and we have some markings on the back is anybody recognize anybody recognize that marking kazars gosh yen's errs i feel like some of the ink is missing if you know what it is let me know in the comments below okay and then we've got the this looks like a jewelry box to me look at the inlay and the the deacon you know just the the decal there yep jewelry box beautiful jewelry box look at that how cool okay and obviously we've got some other decor pieces in here everything from I know you people remember when these ducks were all the fad everybody had to have a duck in their house I wouldn't know oh and then it went to concrete ducks and then it went to you have to put a raincoat on your concrete duck and a bonnet what were we thinking I mean seriously we were thinking about chickens so everything's better with chicken so this has got a lot of cool stuff let's move on to the next one here let's get rid of that thing I'm not sure what that was that's uh I think that's a fruit basket holder right there oh and you know what we just found look at this look at all the fruits we've got all the crazy old fruits I'm thinking there's got to be something I could do it just to get George look at that grape marbled grapes there's got to be something that were George George or plastic lemons and nuts for anybody who needed oh you know what I think they are did you make plastic nuts we find those in every unit an bananas we find plastic bananas and every unit - okay what is this thing I have no idea what this is maybe some of you guys do not sure about that one oh you know what now I'm starting to see because there is a spindle wheel down here so it looks like it's some kind of spindle wheel with an orange something okay and look at that beautiful I think that's red does anybody recognize that marking unfortunately the the lip is broken but I think there's still some money to be made there whoops let's see what's in this box come on banana banana fanna fo fanna me mama man oh my goodness are you guys seeing this you see this this is a portrait called grandpa's toilet and it's copyrighted 1903 grandpa's toilet now an antique er obviously owned all this but I doubt that Oh careful I doubt that the antiquer actually looked behind everything look he's got another grandpa's toilet there's one okay the other one was for four dollars look this grandpa's toilet is for four dollars this grandpa's toilet with nowhere near as nice as a frame is four dollars art is another area we got a we got a look at okay look at that old school picture makes you wonder if these guys were politicians or what all right let's just for the fun of it we're gonna look we do we have some riding back there where would they hide the money I've never ever found money hidden behind a picture ever and yet people still say they find it yet to find it I've not been one of the lucky ones well these ones look like they were lucky he was really I think he got lucky just not as lucky as me even though it's winter here in Ohio one of the things I can do with this stuff a lot of a lot of this stuff I could sell in the warehouse but since the weather is so inclement here and it's freezing cold what I do I just take it to my local auction house so for example like Christmas items right now this will be really hot but there's only one time of year where you can sell Christmas items really quick and really hot and that's right around Christmas so I'd want to get this immediately to my auctioneer so this will go Monday every Monday I take a load of the auctioneer but some Christmas items such as blow molds or even old oil lamps or even for example here you have the old style wipes these are actually worth money so it's good to do a search just get on eBay do a soul search type in Christmas just type in the word Christmas and then see what comes up in regards to values as a matter of fact let's just do it right now let's take a peek on how once you jump on eBay jump in the actual search bar just type Christmas all right really easy you don't need to hit an actual grouping just hit Christmas and hit Search all right we're gonna see all kinds of stuff right now right 17 million items if you look up in the left-hand corner we're gonna hit filter scroll down and we're gonna go to sold okay we want to know what actual things sold for that tells us the real value so sold hit done and then I want a sort from highest to lowest this really gives me the education on what I should be looking for look at this 40-foot majestic mountain pine commercial artificial Christmas tree somebody sold a plastic tree for $19,900 all right Christmas RAC packs graded I didn't even know what these were I didn't know tops had a Christmas rack packs graded baseball cards but here you go twelve thousand five hundred and let's keep going there's a Rolex for twelve thousand but look this is where we're getting a real education we've got the flocked prelim sterling Christmas tree twelve and a half foot brand new so we're five hundred bucks they're not sure plus eleven thousand two hundred shipping that makes a little bit more sense okay our decor platinum karat here we go that's a nicer ring would that be nice if we found something like that in these boxes we'll give this first edition Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol 9500 this is why we have to look through the books what if we actually have the first edition of a Christmas carol we have to look we have to know that's why we take the time to do it here's a postcard to Grandma from granddaughter this is wild eight thousand dollars for an early 1900s Christmas postcard remember when I told you paper sells for more than anything look at this let's just look all right eight thousand dollars let's take a peek at the pictures one of eight Wow look at you know the cooked postcards that that we've been finding look at this man I hope I hope we have this one in a lot of postcards we've got stuff from what I think the Civil War and everything Wow eight thousand dollars for that piece of paper a postcard a postcard here's another Christmas carol $7,400 let's see what else we can find another christmas carol and we just typed in the word christmas ornaments there you go right there guys ornaments 6200 $14.50 ornaments you gotta look at everything and the way that you do it is you actually get on eBay this tells you what people are actually practically paying this had another ornament nope that's a partridge in a pear tree you know partridge in a pear tree look here here's a nativity here is a hand-carved nativity scene four thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars and seventy five cents what are you doing with the nativity scenes that you find at the garage sales and that you find in the storage units you better make sure you're looking at eBay because you could be passing up some real money look a here vintage blown glass clear ball Christmas ornaments with a candle inside five thousand dollars this is where you get the education type in a word look at the soul to go highest to lowest [Music]
