    I'm not fond of the company, but the location has to be close. They're not posting the address until three hours before start time. Might bite them in the behind .... I hope. If I go. There's what looks like either a railroad lantern or a barn lantern in one bedroom. Does anyone else see anything good in this mess? There's a jewelry armoire in one picture, but who knows what's in it.

    Not the taxidermied bear?

    I want the pendulum wall clock and I'd check the cutlery draw for sterling silver marks.
    Take a magnifying glass and a magnet (silver is not attracted to magnets but stainless steel is).

    If the item is a little bit attracted it could be silver plated.

    Wear your hazmat suit and make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.

    Wear a face mask. Other people might have their faces down close too, looking for hallmarks and they might not even know they have it yet.

    A lot of those photos are really blurry.
    Did you see the 6 foot cabinet stuffed with fabric and sewing stuff?

    That bear is pretty impressive.
    The place doesn't look dirty - just messy.
    I'd go and have a ball.

    In picture 19 there is an old oil lamp that has been electrified. Looks to be an Adams Glass Thousand Eyes pattern from the 1880's. I've sold two of them for over $200 each.

    I would go and see what is what. Too bad so many pics are too blurry.
    I saw a green glass canister, may be new, may be old. If old those sell if in good condition with original cap.

    I take that back. Looks like it has a metal base. There are two others that have been electrified that I see. One has a cobalt blue font. If I was there I would probably go for it.

    Pics 41 & 42.....nice looking bureau and 3/4 size four poster bed ...absolutely NOTHING has any kind of price tag....no surprise there.....which means you MIGHT get a good buy on stuff!!! NOPE, not for me, but back in my younger days probably wouldn't have minded some digging......think Hoarder apt description!!:happy::woot::playful:

    Not for me thanks; life is enough of a bear as it is. I called the show runner's phone and was pretty much warned off. Apparently if you have any mobility issues even getting into the house might be a problem. No one's getting into the basement - just as well. There's a jewelry armoire in one picture otherwise I wouldn't even be thinking about it, but that might be the one thing they checked.

    Yep - but it's in a secondary bedroom and odds are they're upstairs.
