I think the whole time at school,
all my memories are focused around games... Yeah.
..and things I used to bring in, collectables. Yeah.
I was, like, big PlayStation 2. Really? Like, I had a lot of games.
Oh, my gosh. Like, now, you find them in charity shops
and they're like 70p, £1.
I remember Zelda on the Game Boy, and also Pokemon,
and some of those Pokemons are, like, so rare now, it's crazy.
Some of them are actually worth a lot of money.
My favourite - Mario, Donkey Kong, all day. Yes! Luigi. Yes.
The run and jump, get the star.
I literally loved all of those things.
So good, I wonder what we're going to get?
Deadstock is about that special piece
that makes you go absolutely wild.
There must be so many things out there, hidden away,
and people just don't know what they're worth.
You've got to look at markets, car boot fairs,
house clearances, anywhere you can.
I'm really hoping that we get something amazing
through the Deadstock doors.
You can make a decent amount of money from reselling,
from a few quid to thousands.
Never seen someone get so excited over the label.
I actually might have to buy this for myself.
Would you ever consider putting these up for auction?
For 55,000, yeah. THEY LAUGH
It makes me feel very nostalgic, I used to collect
these from about nine, ten years old, had shoeboxes full of them.
Did you ever collect anything? No, did you?
Well, yeah, we used to, actually, make our own Top Trumps.
But we used to make ourselves into little characters,
we'd have ratings out of, like, hair, or, you know, funniness.
Do you remember what yours was?
Oh, I don't know, probably really funny or something.
Really reminds me of my childhood.
It was in the playgrounds, on TV, Game Boy games, it was everywhere.
Hello! I'm Fi, nice to meet you. I'm Reem, nice to meet you.
My name's Youth. So, what have you brought with you today?
I've got three Pokemon cards. Wow.
Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise.
So Reem's walking in with these Pokemon cards.
They're in absolutely mint condition.
Have you always collected Pokemon cards?
Yes, from about nine or ten.
That's where all my pocket money went,
I'd go down to the newsagents and buy a packet.
Why Pokemon cards?
I think it was just something that, like, in the playground,
everyone would be, like, huddled around in little circles,
and swapping them, and it was just so much fun.
You almost felt like a young entrepreneur going in,
it was like a job, trying to swap and get what you thought
was the new best card.
Charizard was the one that everyone wanted, it was the coveted one.
Charizard was definitely my favourite as well.
I had a Charizard. This is probably 15 years ago. Yeah.
An incredible card.
I had a huge collection, I put them all into this folder,
about 100-150 of them, and it just disappeared.
It was gone, it was my entire collection.
It meant a lot to me, it's still quite painful to think about it now.
Could have got lost or something like that, or maybe stolen.
I think maybe more stolen... So sorry to hear that.
I still have a list of suspects of who could have taken it.
But some of them include family members,
so I'm not really quite sure.
So, this friend, because I used to talk about this folder
all the time, got me these,
which I think is really, really lovely, to replace...
That's so lovely of them. ..the ones that I lost.
When I saw the cards, it just took me back to my youthhood.
In school, playing in the playground.
I remember having those specific cards as well.
So for me, it was just an absolute buzz.
A few things I could say about these cards, for a start,
the first thing that interests me is they're actually in Japanese.
They're also first edition, which is super rare.
1996 is when Pokemon came out. These cards are actually from 1996.
And on top of that, these three Pokemon are,
I believe, the first three Pokemon.
So, looking at Reem's card, they all had the star in the corner
which means they were really rare.
So these cards have all got a PSA numbers on them.
Do you know what it stands for?
PSA basically is Professional Sports Authenticator
and they rate the condition of all cards,
so this goes for Pokemon cards, they started with baseball cards.
They'll grade them from one, being not good at all,
to ten, being absolutely mint condition.
We've got two nines and an eight. Wow.
So this is basically almost in perfect condition.
The PSA rating was like eight or nine out of ten
and she also had the Charizard. I looked and I was like,
"We're definitely onto something super special."
A rare card recently went for close to 55,000.
Would you ever consider even putting these up for auction?
For 55,000, yes!
LAUGHTER
Yeah, I'm not really sure if I'm going to sell them.
It would be really interesting to find out how much they were worth.
I think I'm just going to make a snap decision.
I can tell you now, these two are going for around £80 to £100. OK.
This one's a little bit special.
This one's going for around £360.
What are you thinking now, now you know?
I'm torn. It's kind of better than I thought. So you think auction?
I'm swaying to yeah.
Yeah? OK. Well, that's brilliant.
It was really cool, I actually kind of made an on-the-spot decision
to go to auction, just kind of came out, so...
I think it's going to be quite fun.
My parents always wanted me to work in the market trade.
It was set in stone.
There was nothing else I was really going to do.
I'm a textile design student.
I do knitwear and I resell vintage pieces, second-hand clothes,
anything I can really get my hands on.
I come from a bit of a wheeler-dealer family.
My mum and dad have worked in the antiques trade
for as long as I can remember.
My dad's a bit of a Del Boy.
He's known in the trade for being a sneaky one
and he's actually got a nickname, which...
He's going to kill me for this - Slippery Pete.
When I was 15, my mum gave me a bit of tough love.
She wouldn't give me any pocket money,
so buying and selling really was my only option.
I started looking for stock everywhere.
Charity shops, car boots, marketplaces -
there's not anywhere I wouldn't go to find the perfect gem.
I'd sell it on to my friends and that's where it all began for me.
When I started to sell more,
I got more interested in what was on trend.
It wasn't just good for business but it was more exciting for me.
I know now when I've found something special, just by touching things
and feeling the quality, it's become second nature.
One of the best items I ever found
was a pair of amazing Moschino trousers for 20p.
I've not found anything like it ever again.
When I sell something to my customers,
I love knowing that they know the history of the piece, so I put
little notes in the packages so they know they've got something special.
When I first started wearing it,
there were so many people looking at me when you walk down the street
but I kind of liked the feeling cos it's so different to anything else.
I can't believe how much of the 2000s and '90s clothes
have come back into fashion right now.
Everything to do with Gwen Stefani, Kate Moss.
I just feel particularly cool, stood out a lot against everyone else
and it was at a time when I was establishing my sense of style and
it helped me feel more individual in the clothes I was wearing.
Hey. How are you? My name's Youth. You all right?
I'm Fi. Nice to meet you, Ryan. Good to meet you, Ryan.
What have you brought with you today?
I've got with me part of my vintage Moschino collection.
OK, a part of it?
I've got four items here out of 20.
Just from taking a quick peek,
this is exactly the type of stuff that I'm into,
that I personally collect as well.
Ryan walks in and he's got this incredible four-piece
Moschino collection and I'm just totally amazed at everything I see.
Where did it all start, then?
I used to love rooting around charity shops.
My ex-girlfriend got me a pair of Moschino jeans
that I fell in love with.
They were the matching trousers to these. You still have them?
I do still have them, yes.
When I wear it, I feel like I'm wearing a piece of history.
I just have them all hung up in a row, all together in my flat,
so I can look at them every night, just to the right of my bed.
It's got the classic Moschino print, pioneered in the '90s,
cos Franco Moschino used to work for Versace
and that's how he got into this kind of style.
Franco Moschino was a designer who
was popular in the '80s and '90s.
I've always said "Moshino"
but I've been told by many people it's "Moskino".
He's all about big loud prints, bold statements.
Fashion is always fun with Moschino. I think that was part of his ethos.
Moschino was always very, like, positive in his affirmations.
Really? "Make love, not war."
"Best things in life are free."
"Let's love each other."
The slogans he had on the pieces
were kind of anti what was going on at the time
and, for me, I really connected with that.
Out of this lot, the cats and dogs probably have to be my favourite.
Incredible. Just because
they're so different to everything else. Can we have a look? Go on.
Whoa! Such a bold print.
Every piece is completely different as well
and they've all got a personality, haven't they?
Some of the rarest prints of Moschino are patterned prints,
so there's the newspaper print, the cat and dog print.
They're so rare to get
and really difficult to find.
As you can see from the labels, this is very, very vintage sportswear,
SPA. Never seen someone get so excited over the labels
other than the me!
I actually might have to buy this for myself.
Looking at the labels that Ryan has,
they're all legit.
You can tell by the material, the feel,
also the stitching around the label. It's just amazing to see.
This receipt shirt is something that I don't think I've ever seen before.
Oh! I'm not sure about you.
So these are all individual receipts. Wow!
That's just one-of-a-kind, isn't it? I've never seen this one before.
This is going to be one of the rarer ones, I think.
It's a bit like collecting trading cards as a kid, you kind of just
want to get as many as you can to show off to your mates.
I was actually looking at this piece as well.
I think this is a font that they used a lot later, 2000s plus.
And you're interested in selling them all, potentially?
These four, I'd be looking to let go of, yeah.
It's really good to see that people still have Moschino pieces.
Ryan's just the perfect example of people that still collect,
still really love the brand and still are into the vintage stuff.
The best thing to look for when you're rummaging through car boots,
charity shops, are definitely scarves.
A lot of people don't notice them
but things like this, a bag of seven Moschino pieces -
that's going to make you a lot of money.
The reserve prices on this
are £20 to £40.
Even if you sold them for £10 each, that's 70 quid.
If you ever find anything like this, charity shops, car boots,
make sure you get it before someone else does.
Remember, if you're on your travels
and you find a really great find like this, keep your cool,
ask for a low price, because remember...
The moment you start getting excited and you tell your friends about it
is the moment people are going to put their prices up
and you do not want that competition when you're wanting these scarves
because they are a find.
What do I look like?
Loving all of this.
I just really want these scarves.
All of them are in, I'd say, good to great condition.
These I'd put up for about...
180, 200.
How much did you buy them for?
Quite a lot cheaper than that.
Let's leave it there! They were a bargain, that pair.
Right, so you're up on that one.
The cat and dog pants, I'd say
around about the same - 180 to 200.
I'd say for this shirt, it doesn't have the square label.
I'd say this is a decent 80 quid.
And then lastly, this piece, which I've never seen before,
a very rare piece, maybe 150,
maybe even a little bit more.
And we'll see, hopefully, if you can get any of them sold. Yeah.
Fantastic, thank you. Thanks so much, so good to meet you.
Take care. See you later, Ryan. Nice to see you.
Well, that was really good. It was really great to meet Youth
and share our own experiences with Moschino.
The valuation was a lot higher than I expected. It's been great.
What's your favourite piece?
It has to be the receipt.
But I do love the message on there. I think that's really lovely.
I'm confident that he'll get good prices.
If I saw Ryan's collection out there,
I would definitely be snapping it up.
Hi. Hi. Hello, how are you? Good to see you. Good, thank you.
How are you feeling about the Pokemon cards today?
I'm really excited, actually.
In terms of the reserve, I saw that you put 300 on the Charizard,
which is one of the rarest ones.
The other two, Blastoise and Venusaur...
So with the other two I went a little bit higher than
the valuation that you gave me,
so I think I went to 120.
You're not wanting to let it go?
To be honest, I don't think I'd be too disappointed
if they didn't sell because I kind of want to hold on to them.
They mean a lot to me.
Well, let's get in there and see what they go for. Let's go.
Last chance.
Sold.
I know you need the toilet but you look nervous.
I'm just so excited right now!
There could be a Pokemon fanatic online right now, watching.
Or in this room! Exactly.
We're starting off with Blastoise.
The first of three Pokemon cards.
They're very special, these. They're Japanese, 1996.
Starting the bidding at £70.
70?
You've got a tough crowd today.
70?
Not today.
We've still got another two more. We're going to see what happens.
No bids for Blastoise whatsoever.
2476B, another Pokemon card.
Again, starting the bidding at 70.
£70...
You should get up there. 70?
It's a bargain.
Sorry.
This is the rare one. We've got the Charizard. Charizard!
And the last one, 2476.
It's Charizard. He's amazing.
1996 Japanese hologram card.
We'll start the bidding at...
180.
180. 190.
Here we go. 200.
Something's happening. 210.
210!
220. 220! Yeah, OK.
230. 230!
£230.
That's quite a lot of money.
Any more? £230...
Not today.
230 quid. 230. So close.
Charizard was doing so well but it just fell at the last hurdle.
The reserve was just too high.
230, that's a lot of money. Shows that they are worth something.
And at least all three stay together now. Exactly.
That is a very good point.
Charizard was getting bids. I was kind of like...
"No, you can't break them up, they have to stay together."
I could see that really you kind of wanted them to come home with you.
Reem loves her cards and I think she's super happy
that she's going home with them, so it's a win-win.
Thank you for coming today. Now you can go to the toilet! Exactly.
Lovely. Bye.
Bye. Ciao. Bye.
The key to selling is to know your market
and where to sell to reach that market.
Ryan had four crazy Moschino pieces.
My plan was to get those four pieces online.
My aim is to get the best pictures and get the best descriptions
so they'd definitely sell.
I took all the time that I needed.
They looked great.
How are you doing, Fi? Youth, how are you doing? I'm good.
I've got some stuff to show you.
OK. It's about Ryan. Right? The King of Moschino, remember?
Oh, what a collection.
So basically there was four pieces that I put online.
I reckon we can give him a call now. Yeah, let's do it. You ready?
Let's see what he thinks. Let's do that.
Hey. Hey-hey-hey!
How are you doing? Fine, how are you?
So we've got some super good news about the pieces.
They all sold, apart from one item.
The cat and dog jeans were the ones that sold the fastest.
It was about 24 hours they sold in, which I couldn't believe.
It just shows that people are so interested in them.
They sold for £130.
Bloody heck, yeah.
We're telling Ryan the prices and the look on his face says it all.
We think he's really happy.
The second one was the Moschino sport shirt, Ryan. That sold for 80.
Perfect. Perfect, yeah.
And the third one was one of my favourites
and definitely Fi's favourite, the newspaper Moschino jeans.
They sold for 80.
Brilliant, yeah, they didn't even fit me, so...
Did they not? I feel like they would have definitely fitted me.
I'm a bit jealous that they've sold.
The only one that didn't sell is the receipt shirt, which is still here.
Yeah.
So, Ryan, in total,
you made £290 on the three items that you sold online.
How do you feel? That's really good
and I'm not too upset about the receipt shirt either.
I'll definitely get some more wear out of that one.
And then I can let it go whenever. Yeah. Absolutely.
Ryan's reserve for his receipt shirt was 120
but I think he's really glad he got to keep it.
Thanks so much for coming down to the warehouse, Ryan.
Thanks very much for having me. Any time, dude. Take care, dude.
See you later.
Ryan was really happy overall.
He's really excited to have the money and buy more Moschino.
