Hoarding as a business

From Afternoons, 1:28 pm on 12 March 2019

You may have seen the television series "Hoarders" but you probably haven't seen hoarding like this...

Canadian Antique Collector Alexander Archbold has found a way to make someone else's hoarding a business.   

Earlier this year he purchased a farmhouse in rural Alberta, which was filled to the ceiling with the previous owners hoarded belongings.

His YouTube channel, Curiosity Incorporated, tracks his progress as he tries to make back the money he spent on the house from the sale of treasures he finds inside. Alexander tells us how successful he has been so far. 

Alexander Archbold, from the YouTube channel Curiosity Incorporated, bought the home of a hoarder. He hopes to make back the money on his investment by selling the various treasures he uncovers inside.
