Man Who Bought Hoarder's Home Made Thousands After Discovering Incredible Treasures Inside

A fortunate antique enthusiast hit the jackpot by acquiring a hoarder's house that had turned into a real mess from years of neglect and over-collecting. Alex Archbold seized the opportunity to purchase the Edmonton property following the passing of its previous owner, Madame Rac, a piano teacher, in November 2020 at the age of 76. What happened next simply had to be written about, and here it is!

When Alex purchased the property and the contents for $10,000, it was in a deplorable condition. He faced the daunting task of cleaning up the mess and restoring the home to a habitable state. Along the way, he hoped to discover some valuable antiques to sell. Initially, Alex believed that breaking even would be a stroke of luck, but little did he know he had vastly underestimated the hidden treasures accumulated by Madame Rac...

He chronicled his efforts on the house through his YouTube channel, Curiosity Incorporated. At the beginning of the video, Alex shared that the person who lived there was really into fashion, so there is a good chance that some of the found items turn out to be designer.

From the first antique auction, he earned $150,000 alone, with estimates suggesting he could reach around $230,000 once all the items were sold. Archbold described the experience as an "urban legend kind of story" and marveled at being a part of it.

The finding of the unexpected treasures serves as a reminder not to judge a situation solely based on its outward appearance. The discovery of valuable items amidst the chaos highlights the unpredictability of hidden gems within seemingly neglected spaces. Maybe you have some at home, go check now!
