Abandoned Home of a Toy Store Owner - 60 years of unopened toys left behind!

Inside this home time has still stood still for over 15 years, the owner managed a toy store most of his older adult life until his health declined. Not only did he sell the toys, he collected them as well for personal hobby. The interior of the home shows all the signs of hoarder activity, food rotting away and everything left behind. Thousands and thousands of vintage toys from many different era's are scattered along the floor of this huge house. Stay to the end to see all the collector items inside and let me know if you recognize anything !

thank you guys for watching and unlimited support !

As a collector that was a hard watch seeing you walking over everything 🫣😩

Somebody needs to buy the salvage rights on that place. Those items need saving.

The owner closed his toy and comic book store and used his house to store everything. They currently use that house for storage. Surprised the owners kids didnt catch you guys in the house but they dont come by there very often. The kids saved their dads collection after he passed. I live about 3 miles from the house and heard they locked the house down to prevent people from going back in it.

Hi Devin, coming from someone who had to move out of a repossessed house and lost a ton of their childhood books and toys, I really appreciate how you take time to respect and admire the house and its belongings. If someone took a video like this of my childhood home I would be overjoyed to see it!

These videos are equally fascinating as they are sad. It reminds me how short our time is. This owner must've really loved his toy store.

Update: After reading the comments here I went back and watched the video again. It's definitely staged, not one lick of dust. None on anything in that house. I'm very surprised upon staging they didn't factor that into account.

The contents of this house needs to be saved!!!
Collectors watching this are jumping out of their skin right now!!!
I can’t believe how dry the interior of the house appears to be for being abandoned so long!

Anybody else get a little stressed at how they were just moving the comics around, dropping the boxes, and stepping on things? Devaluing items as we watched.

[robertblair]

Anyone else die a little as he thumbed the stacks of comic books like playing cards, creasing the spines lol

[seeleygirl]

I’m dying to know where the family is. At one time this was a happy place. Breaks my heart.

[pinascreen]

I just wanna go there and organize and curate everything. This whole house is a museum

[karloswithak]

This is the coolest abandoned house I have ever seen, ever! An absolute gold mine. Amazing!

What is really frightening is just how easy a collection can get out of hand, my father sold off his main business in the early 80s and all his remaining equipment was put in the first floor apartment where it sits to this day. Family can't agree on what to get rid of or who gets which items. (All kinds of Coney island items ) top it off with my comic collection (approx85, 000), a ton of Mopar parts for numerous car restorations and everything else that we all collected overtime...
Now my own grown kids don't want to set foot inside that house, neither apartment collects rent, bills have to be paid and siblings just keep storing there own collections in different parts of the house.
Just goes to show how even the best intentions could go south. Even selling on Feebay for over 20 years now barely made a dent in my own collection. To properly sort and liquidate that house in the video Will be a major undertaking.

Not only was this man, a toy collector, he evidently was also a devout Catholic. I can tell he was a good man with a very eclectic taste in collectables. All of these items can be sold in an estate sale and funds to go to his estate to got to his heirs, family or even charity. Hoarding is a sign of nostalgia and deep emotional attachment to fond memories.

Love the respect you had by not giving any location information. I'm 53 and some of those toys and comics... damn they took me back! This was an awesome explore. Thank you!

[almirajinjer]

A group of collectors should buy those stuffs it's kinda sad to see those toys and comics slowly getting ruined in that abandoned house

[kentedgar]

I just want to say buddy if your going to go in a person's house and dig like that please just dont step on it and grab it like a toddler there could be one book under your foot worth 180, 000 bucks no way of knowing whats in their and what you and him damaged just by going through the pile of books like you did. Enough with hating on you for the lack luster of care but still love watching the walk through one of the things I live doing is walking in a abandoned house before its been ram sacked

[originalhaggis]

Some of those toys were produced within the last five to ten years. If the owner passed away in 2005 as you say, someone else has been adding to the collection since then. Cool video.

This was a very fascinating experience to see. This man that collected all of this stuff and toys, probably had big plans for it. But you don't live forever even though we try. This man did not have a will or it may have been contested or money owed to debt. I'm sure he was waiting for the collections to have more value, and his time just ran out. What a waste! Anyway, Thank you guys for the opportunity to see this place. You rock!

That marvel world boardgame you left to rot away, is worth thousands complete in decent condition like that! Its one of the rarest boardgames you can find, Its a collectors dream to own it! If it was me I wouldnt have uploaded this video!

[jaimechapa]

I feel as tho the little voice in my head is being encouraged! I know its not a good idea to explore abandoned homes without permission but it’s sooo tempting!!!
