So my Dad'* friend has lived in a apartment for 3 years, and he decided it was time to buy a house. He came across a 3 BR, 2 BA 1957 ranch house for only $84,500! He came to find out that it was a old lady'* house that fell ill, then shortly after died. She had no family, and the will stated that her house be sold with all contents included, so the house has been untouched since December I believe, other than all the food being thrown out.

Here is the exciting part. The house IS CHOCK FULL of antiques and tons of old stuff. When he looked at the house, he noticed that there was a LOT of old stuff, some of the stuff he saw included a curio cabinet FILLED with Democratic presidential goodies, including hats, pins, flags, signs, the WORKS. Other things he saw were the closets are packed full of boxes, along with the basement being chock full of boxes, books, and tons of old stuff. He also came across tons of old bar signs. The house still isn't his yet, he just has to sign a few more papers, and the keys will be handed to him. I am personally excited because he has asked me and my Dad to help him sort through everything, and whatever he doesn't keep, we can take.

Ebay could be your best friend here.

definitely snap some pics if you do get in again.

Oh yeah... definitely... There is just so much good stuff in that house. One of the few things I get extremely excited about is going through stuff, especially old stuff. It is absolutely amazing on what you can find.

any bonneville'*?

I collect old toys and such and would be interested if he finds anything while cleaning out.

That will be fun going through, I'm sure. I enjoy that too.

Can you say Ebay Goldmine?

Camera stuff? :P

I was waiting to hear there was a 59 Bonneville in the garage.



Cool, non the less

If I collected things I would ask as well, but I dont collect anything but dust now-a-days

I very much like older electronics. Looks like I need to make a new friend
