Person running estate sale invites me to their warehouse! - Tom Ray's Day 210213

YouTube Channel - https://youtube.com/tmray

I recently found out that a person I met that runs estate sales in Milwaukee just passed away. It reminded me of the time we first found out about his warehouse. 

This video is from the past summer when I was at one of his estate sales for the first time looking for vintage retro items. He saw all of the stuff I was buying and tells me to go check out the warehouse he keeps his stuff at. 

Sadly I don't have footage of us talking with him he didn't want to be on camera but it is a place we've visited many times after this video was made. I wanted to share how excited I was to find this great place.

Plus, at the end of the video, I draw my daily autobiographical webcomic.

This is a video of my daily life since I decided to sell collectibles and pop-culture items I collect on eBay to help support my art career instead of taking on freelance work.

In every version of the game, there are a group of children that go through Candy Land. In the earliest versions of the game, it was a realistically drawn boy and girl.
