The collection was incredibly stacked floor-to-ceiling in every room, with everything from an unopened parcel that dates as far back as 2002. The now-late owner, 44, had hoarded so much that he had no choice but to move into a bed and breakfast for the last year of his life. Stunned by the discovery, the owner’s brother summoned auctioneers to clear up the three-bedroom home.

The hoarder worked as a computer programmer when he was alive and it remains unclear as to where he found the money in purchasing the items.
