I think she had to be selling or planning to sell them, that's the only reason having so many duplicates and store-like shelving makes sense to me. and even then.. wow. I am thinking she is mentally ill.... There is no reason we would understand. I once went up a garage sale of a hoarder.... She bought things from hsn .... Multiples of the same thing and most unopened!! Maybe I over indulge, But I am not this bad!!

It's really sad to look at all of that. I'm glad she is getting help.

I'm not quite sure how I ended up on this page when I checked it the first time, but when I checked it again, I ended up on a different page. 30 pages of individual boxes - of you click on a box, it'll take you to another page where you can see what's in the box. There's a series of photos below that photo that shows more detail. Hope it helps anyone interested in buying.

Dang. Definitely makes me want to clean, lol. Kinda like when you watch Hoarders for awhile. I did notice her name and address and info was clearly visible in some pics, kinda mean for the lady. I would like to more info, too, not that I'm entitled to, though lol. Hopefully she's getting the help she needs.

The home is appraised at 1.2 million. Did you check Zillow or something from the address on the invoices? In San Diego, wouldn't that be an average sized home?

WOW! A couple of the photos show the interior of the house and it looks like there is no furniture at all. It seems so sad and yet scary that all you can see are so many boxes and packages open/unopened.

It's really sad, and the saddest part to me is the unopened boxes.

I bid on a couple of lots and was quickly outbid. Sadly, I think there is no way she will get near what was spent on it all.

Is it wrong that I want all of the punches? I can't even look at the pictures because I want those punches so badly. I've never met a punch I didn't like.
Mine are used, though. Not only for my personal scrapbooks but I take them to school (I'm an art teacher) and the kids love them. I'd love to have doubles because I'm scared the kids will break one I can't replace. Give me those punches!!!!
The whole situation is tragic. Overwhelming...

Per a court order, the auction is on hold until February 11 I wonder why? Is it possible that she is trying to come up with the money she owes to stop the auction? Some of those pics look like they were taken inside a big warehouse. If there are over a million items, that would make me think that she spent a $1 million on these(at the very least). More likely to be at least $2 million?

I wonder if she had a store that had to shut down and she was stuck with it all at home. That's the only way I could see buying so many multiples of the same thing. It would be fun to open all the packages though.

It would be fun to open all the packages though. I doubt it because if you look at the invoices pictured with some of the boxes, she was paying pretty close to retail for the stuff. Someone with a business would be buying directly from manufacturers or wholesalers, not other retailers or eBay sellers.

It looks like the sale is off as the auction site for this is no longer active, so the court hearing must have halted the sale.
