I'm getting ready to have a very large tag sale.
Everything in here... Is going.
Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX
There's hundreds of boxes in there!
Good luck, guys.
This is going to be the biggest tag sale that ever happened.
[ Bell rings ] [ Cheering ]
Did you see any whisks?
I'm looking for a Martha Stewart cake plate.
Behar: Martha Stewart is a high-class hoarder.
[ Laughs ] And we know she's gonna have great stuff.
Klinko: Can you imagine owning something from Martha Stewart?
I mean, come on.
This is Blake Lively, if you don't have a clue.
Kris Jenner bought all the jadeite.
Oh, look, somebody bought my chairs! Oh!
There's been many surprises.
Manzo: Listen, I think we have a problem here.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Martha's gonna have a fit.
I am not happy about it.
Manzo: The majority of this stuff is sold.
We have people coming in buses.
If there is not enough stuff, it's gonna be...
Yeah. ...a nightmare.
And the tag sale is about to begin.
[ People cheering ]
♪♪
I've been a tag sale goer pretty much my whole life.
I love tag sales.
First of all, a tag sale can also be called
a garage sale, a lawn/yard sale,
which means you've tagged everything with a price tag,
and that will be the price at which it will be sold.
Well, I'm getting ready to have my tag sale --
a very, very large tag sale at the farm.
I have about 10,000 things to sell.
Why some people have tag sales,
well, there are lots and lots of reasons,
none of which really relate
to why I'm having this particular tag sale.
And that list is long, so I'll read it.
And it's also kind of funny and don't take it too seriously.
[ Chuckles ] They're all pretty dire.
And none of those really apply to me.
Not yet.
[ Peacock crying ]
Several things prompted me to have this tag sale.
First of all, I'm totally out of storage space,
especially because I sold my house in East Hampton
filled with lots of things that I actually bought at tag sales.
I also closed a monstrous office in New York City,
so I feel like I'm living in chaos,
and I don't want to be known as a hoarder.
Nothing could be worse.
So everything's gonna be sold,
and I know everybody's gonna want to come.
That's why we are selling tickets.
And the reason we really are having the tag sale
is I really want to raise money
for the Martha Stewart Center for Living
at Mount Sinai Hospital.
And I really do feel that sharing these beautiful,
beautiful things that I've collected with other people
and raising a lot of money at the same time
might be a very good thing to do.
[ Ding! ]
I'm sure it's up there someplace.
Where would it have gone? [ Peacock crying ]
I also have my friends, Vincent Manzo --
[ Peacock crying ] Who's doing --
Who's making noise? Huh?
Woman: The peacock. [ Peacocks crying ]
Is there a peacock outside?
I have 17 peacocks.
So if you hear an odd noise now and then, it's the peacocks.
They want to be on TV. [ Peacocks crying ]
I do have a really good group of people, friends,
who are going to help with this tag sale.
The antiques experts --
Vincent Manzo, Jim Klinko, Frank Kaminski.
♪♪
I met Vincent through my daughter, Alexis,
and Alexis and Vincent had a shop called Yard Sale.
I think Martha always wanted to have a tag sale.
It's the best way for her to have other people
enjoy what she's enjoyed for so many years.
Stewart: Jim Klinko,
who has been running tag sales and consignment shops
for about 40 years.
I met Martha at my store around 30 years ago.
And she walked in one day, and I said to her,
"What took you so long?"
And she handed me her phone number and that was it.
We've been friends ever since.
Stewart: Frank Kaminski is extremely knowledgeable,
and he has done a lot of big, big celebrity auctions.
I've known Martha for about five years.
She really is someone to be admired for style,
for meticulousness.
She is a living legend.
Manzo: I don't know about these two, but I'm a salesperson.
I'm gonna sell the most.
I'm an auctioneer. I sell the best.
Oh, please get out of here. [ Laughs ]
I'm the number-one seller here
because I know how to talk to my clients.
Okay. I know exactly what they like.
Stewart: I do have Chris Hessney helping me.
He's an amazing event planner.
Chris travels all over the world throwing events.
I think that's gonna make a big difference.
Martha and I have worked together for over a year now.
We've known each other for much longer.
And I work with a great team --
James Laborne and Haden Spenard.
I think this event would be a true success if,
"A," Martha's happy.
But it's about having a really great experience
for everyone who's coming, that everyone find
something beautiful to buy, and that we sell a lot of stuff.
Here we have the overall view of the -- of the ground plan
and where the tents are gonna be for check-in. Stewart: Oh, okay.
We've chosen a field that's close to the road.
So you just walk in through an entrance tent...
Correct. ...and then into
the big sales tent. Correct.
And then we are on to the main tents.
Right. We have two tents.
I'm more concerned about the stuff.
How many tables altogether in these pictures?
This is 52.
Yeah, see? That's not very many.
53, sorry. Yeah, not for the amount
of stuff we have. Right.
One big thing we need to talk about is rain or shine.
It can snow one day, and it can be 72 the next.
Yeah. So...
April showers bring May flowers.
[ Laughter ]
So it may rain, but hopefully it will be nice weather.
But we are tented to protect all the goods from the rain.
[ Laughs ] Spenard: It's not gonna rain.
Hessney: You have to be prepared.
No, every event, every wedding.
I learned that as a caterer, I would never, ever,
ever do a wedding without a tent.
And we want to be the most successful,
fabulous tag sale ever.
Hessney: She really knows what she's doing here.
You know, people are taking their time to come here,
spending money, buying a ticket.
And it needs to, like, you know,
kind of go seamlessly and flawlessly.
And we're learning the Martha way.
[ Peacock cries ]
So this is where it all starts.
So guests are gonna be coming from this entrance over here.
And we have a 20x20 tent staked here,
as you'll see with the red stakes.
Okay. And guests will get wristbands
when they check in so we know that they have
about an hour to come through.
Kaminski: It's an amazing event.
It's so nice that it's being held on the grounds.
And we'll all pitch in. We'll all help out.
No, I think the plan is good.
I think, uh, the logistics are good.
Uh, it keeps a lot of peop--
it keep them out of my buildings,
which is important because there's so much more stuff
still in the buildings... [ Laughter ]
...for the next tag sale!
We know.
I do not think I will be having a second tag sale
anytime soon. [ Laughter ]
We have a lot of work cut out for us,
but I think with the three of us all together,
working together, pricing, merchandising,
I think we're gonna have a great sale.
Am I crazy or is this a good idea?
I think this is a great idea. It's a great idea.
This is the king of all sales,
and I'm really excited to be part of it.
It's from Martha Stewart.
I mean, you can't get any higher than that [laughs]
like, amazing.
Stewart: My tag sale will be lots of fun.
But no music.
No music. This is not honky-tonk.
This is serious... [ Laughter ]
...serious sell everything.
Hessney: There's a lot still to do.
I think the main concern
is that it's -- it's such a meticulous property,
and we're now inviting all this chaos onto it
and all of these guests.
But we're definitely, I think, ready for it.
Stewart: I'm excited to see what I'm gonna sell.
I don't know yet everything that I'm going to sell,
but I have to grit my teeth and hide my pocketbook.
I am not going to buy anything at my tag sale.
I promise you. It's all for sale.
I really want to make a lot of money.
We'll see.
Stewart: So we have a lot of stuff,
and we have to get to work.
I can't wait until it's all over.

[ Peacocks crying ]
So, Jim, I've been going through everything at this farm
looking for items to sell at the tag sale.
And I came across my collection of Worldwide Pants jackets.
Now, Worldwide Pants was David Letterman's company.
But every year, while he was on "Late Night,"
he would send a Christmas jacket.
But do you think David's gonna be mad at me for selling these?
I think we should put a high price on those.
This way we could see if we can get David
really jealous if we sell them
for a few hundred dollars. [ Chuckles ]
Have you been on his new show?
You know what? I wouldn't be selling these
if I had been on his new show.
Hmm.
Well, since we are only just getting into organizing
what I'm going to sell,
I really don't know how it's going to work yet.
♪♪
Unbelievable.
Speechless.
It's overwhelming. There's just so much to look at
and so much to decide what she's gonna sell.
Stewart: These finials are so beautiful.
I got these years and years ago
at a tag sale. [ Laughs ] [ Chuckling ]
And they're very beautifully crafted out of copper.
And I had them on my porch
just as decorative objects in East Hampton.
What do you think I could price those at, Frank?
Kaminski: I would say $4,500 to $5,000
for the pair. Yeah, mm-hmm.
So, Frank, what do you think about pricing,
being an auctioneer? Manzo: Right.
You have to price things fairly
and not too high, not too low,
but somewhere in between. Yes.
Oh, and these bird cages, by the way.
Klinko: Wow.
That was the prototype
for all my other bird cages.
I made that.
Now, those gorgeous vents.
What do you think? Oh, yeah.
Kaminski: $4,000. Yeah? I might have
paid more for them.
Hm. Hmm.
Let's go to $6,000. Exactly.
The way she wanted a bargain,
everyone else wants a bargain out there.
Well, Martha's always been on the buying side,
not on the selling side, so this is new for her.
These windows I love, and these were only like $45 a window.
Klinko: Wow, that was a good bargain.
Now, this window alone would cost about $800
or $1,000 to build. $1,000.
But I thought if I -- If I build an outdoor pavilion,
these would be great windows. [ Laughs ]
We're supposed to talk you into selling things,
not out of selling things. I know.
The hardest part of this process
probably will be getting Martha
to sell things she doesn't want to sell.
And up above are so many chairs.
Oh, my canoe, too.
Yeah, that I am not gonna sell.
And I want to reiterate so that my daughter, Alexis,
can hear this clearly.
Mother is not a hoarder.
You know how many canoes I have?
[ Laughter ] I have several canoes in Maine already.
I have a -- a really, really
great Old Town... Old Town. Oh.
...and I have a really, really great one made
by a canoe maker who used seven different kinds of wood.
And I bought that years and years ago for my ex-husband,
and it was the most beautiful canoe.
So that one I'm not gonna sell.
No. But this one --
maybe I will sell that canoe.

[ Chuckles ] ...a $12 potato sign.
I mean, I could have made this myself, but...
Since Martha might have touched it,
it'll be worth more some day. [ Chuckles ]
I have to say that I have so much stuff,
and I really wanted to cut back on the stuff in my house.
But here I am buying more stuff
that apparently I've convinced myself that I need.
What is this even?
♪♪
Oh, that's nice. Look at those.
I flew in yesterday because I thought it was a worthy cause
to come here and support Martha and the Mount Sinai Hospital.
These were from my East Hampton house.
Loved it. Yeah, these are beautiful.
I was very pleased to see a Louis Vuitton trunk here.
Condition's lovely.
It's an unusual trunk.
It's a flip top with the hangers.
It's a smaller size than most of the wardrobes.
So this must have been for, perhaps, a young lady
rather than a gentlemen's trunk.
Three years ago, we lost our house in the Camp Fire
that burned down the town of Paradise.
And my husband's been rebuilding it himself.
And I have a beautiful brand-new house,
but it's totally empty.
And I'm gonna fill my house with things from Martha.
And it's the most perfect
beginning of a new chapter for us.
I'm so excited.
Oh, these are fabulous. I'm buying those back.

Anybody find a cake plate yet?
That's all I need -- Woman: Is that what you're looking for?
I'm looking for a Martha Stewart cake plate, yes.
I have about 75 of her cake plates.
We traveled from Orlando, Florida,
just to come to this sale because that's how good
a Martha Stewart tag sale can be.
Pretty nice. You want that?
I can't find a cake plate, so I have to get that.
Man: The sign that said "Martha Stewart's
Great American Tag Sale,"
somehow it was like a trance that I went through,
and I just bought things that I didn't know I needed.
This one. It's so beautiful.
I love this. I think I need this.
She told me to buy this lamp, so I did.
Actually been looking for this copy
for many, many years to get a signed one.
So this is almost as good as a cake plate.
We are house building in Westport, Connecticut, right now
and so wanted to come check out Martha's great tag sale
to see if we could find some inspiration for the house.
We found this really cool lamp, and it came at a great price
and this matching lampshade.
Oh, how nice.
A hostess gift. Look, is it good?
What is it?
It is not for sale. This is for Martha.
And I have a lemon pound cake recipe
that was probably in one of her first cookbooks.
Thank you. I love it.
I didn't have time to make one for the guys.
I would really love some pots and pans, maybe copper
if she has any available.
I'm also interested in some pull-up cocktail tables...
Oh, tables.
...for around the couch and the chairs
in the living room.
Thank you, Martha.
♪♪
I feel like she has... Very good stuff, too.
She has, like, a vast array of valuable items, the art
to the magazines, like, the vases and the lamps and whatnot.
And the rugs. It's for everybody.
The rugs were nice, very versatile.
I'm in the restaurant business, and I was just very excited
to see old kitchen tools.
What did Martha tell you?
We told her that we bought the cleavers,
and she said that her great-uncle was a butcher
and these are from his butcher shop.
So I'm glad we scooped up a little of her family history.
And we also bought this beautiful, old, handcrafted
butcher block table, which is real special.
So couldn't say no to that.
Okay. I'm just gonna walk around and check out the inventory.
I think I might have to open some more boxes. We'll see.
I was hoping to find some chairs for outdoor furniture,
and we saw a lot of sold signs
Man: There was some wicker advertised,
and it would have been ideal for our house in Maine,
but I no longer see it here.
[ Both laugh ]
I mean, I think you -- you sold a lot.
We sold so much. There's -- Yeah.
I think we've sold over 70%.
And my expert auctioneer, he expected 50%.
He thinks it's -- Oh, really? Oh.
Yeah, I just want to sell everything, that's all.
Oh, they sold my wagon. Oh, shoot, I forgot to --
This morning I woke up, I said, "Where's the wagon?"
And there it is, and it's sold.
And I'm pissed, 'cause that -- I did not --
Oh, you didn't want that to be sold?
No, I did not want that to be in the sale.
Manzo: Listen, I think we have a problem here.
I think we do, too. Because the majority of these things are sold.
We have people coming in busses, one after the other.
The one thing we haven't had control over,
which is what Martha decided to sell,
is becoming our biggest nightmare.
We are going to have to convince her
to go into our warehouse and get more stuff.
We have a whole other day to go tomorrow,
and we're worried about just having enough for everyone here.
My job now is to find some more stuff.
The tables are empty.
If we don't find any more things to sell,
we're gonna be empty, too.
It's a sale that doesn't have anything to sell.
Manzo: She's actually in the house pulling things out...
Is she? ...that we said we should
have sold before. Can we go down now?
♪♪
That's a beautiful faux bois tray.
This will bring in a lot of money.
Sell. Okay.
Sell.
This is our assembly line.
We're, like, really worried.
I think there's -- there's 750 people coming tomorrow
over a seven-hour time period.
And it's like, what are they gonna buy?
They're taping, and then you can pack.
We probably sold over 10,000 items today.
We're gonna have to work late tonight.
We have no other choice.
We've got to make this sale fabulous for tomorrow.
It's a big, big issue.
If there is not enough stuff for people tomorrow
who are, like, traveling from all over and coming,
it's gonna be a nightmare. Yeah.
♪♪
Tape this, please. We're almost opening.
This is insane.
This is it. This is the last day.
Scissors, please, Dominic.
We're so excited that it's day two.
Yesterday was super stressful.
We were really worried about restocking.
Should be $250.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I mean, seriously, we were really nervous
that this wasn't gonna be -- gonna happen,
but Martha has come through.
The only thing we feel like we're missing
is some china and some glassware,
but everything else is looking good.
Stewart: We'll get that from the storage building.
Martha's at other parts of her property right now,
calling, saying, "Send trucks," then filling it with stuff.
♪♪
Manzo: There's all new merchandise that came up.
I mean, we're doing Halloween. Yep.
We're doing Christmas.
We are working as fast as we can.
I am out of gas. I have two flat tires.
Everyone, the guests are about to come right in.

Hi! This is exciting.
And then I'll put sold on it and take you over there.

[ Laughs ]
I was just here looking around.
I was hoping to find some kitchen items,
but I found some other items
that I liked a little bit better. [ Chuckles ]
I bought a moose.
Stewart: Good morning.
I also got to meet Martha today, so I was very excited.
I got a selfie with her.
Ooh, everything looks so good.
Martha wants to see everything gone, too.
She'd be so happy if everything was sold.
Oh, yes, that was our dining room table.
[ Laughs ] Yes.
Leaves?
No, there are leaves. I have to find them.
If you buy it, I will find the leaves for you.
Okay. Do you want to buy it, honey?
Want me to -- Okay. Come on.
♪♪
Treasures. [ Chuckles ]
Sell it. No, that shouldn't be out here.
I did find a couple of things, things, like, on the book table.
This is lifetime health record for, guess what,
Alexis Gilbert Stewart. [ Gasps ]
Why -- You want that back.
I do.
How did my daughter's birth diary get onto that table?
Five days of roseola, her fever...
Oh, my God. I want to read this.
[ Laughs ]
Whoa. We had no idea it was there.
She grabbed it. She took it.
Martha has it, so it didn't get into the wrong hands.
I was in the lamp section. You were books.
Don't blame me.
Oh, come on. [ Chuckles ]
Stewart: Well, we had a collection of jadeite,
and Blake Lively wanted all the jadeite,
but so did Kris Jenner.
Kris, can you hear me?
Yes. You look beautiful, by the way.
So do you.
Kris Jenner flew people out here
just to collect the jadeite.
Jadeite was a common man's china in the 1940,
but it's so collectible now.
Everybody really loves the color.
Oh, my gosh.
You kind of go hand in hand with jadeite in my mind.
Just want to let you know if you're coming for jadeite,
Kris Jenner took it all.
I can't wait for my stuff to get here.
Okay. Thank you so much. Bye.
That these collectibles are now out of my hands is a real joy.
Oh, that's beautiful.
And it's just very exciting
to see the enthusiasm of these lovely people.
Look at that. How fabulous. These are so fun.
A few years ago, I was invited to have lunch with Martha.
We ended up having lunch in her personal office
at this beautiful Saarinen table
that was surrounded by the chairs that I just discovered.
I noticed that underneath the chair there is a stamp
that says Personal Property of Martha Stewart.
♪♪
It's legit.
Oh, that's the best thing.
So I was leaving and Martha walked up
and she saw it and said, "Wait a minute."
Bernie!
How did you miss --
His name is Bernie Wong Green. Wong: Bought it?
And you didn't buy it?
It's all right, but, you know, there's only so much room.
I know, but that's the best dog bed there ever was.
That's a dog bed. Ohh!
That's what it is.
Store all their little things in here.
So I'm going to use this for my rescue dog, Levi,
and he's a special pup,
and now he'll have a special bed.
Oh, good. You got one of my shirts.
All the clothes came out today,
'cause we couldn't fit anything in yesterday.

[ Laughs ]
So that's like a $600 shirt.
No! It is.
No, I'm not kidding. [ Laughter ]
Yeah, this is -- This was --
Haden just took it off the rack.
Did you pay for it?
Of course.
I'm an auctioneer. I want it sold.
I want it to be gone.
Well, get in there and start making that stuff
disappear in the tent,
because we got to get going here.
This is the last day.
Klinko: Jamie, you have any more sold tags on you?
What about these nice chairs?
Things are flying.
I want everything to sell.
I want to do half on that.
On the second day of a tag sale
is really the only first day you can kind of bargain.
Manzo: Everyone, the books are half price,
so let's make them disappear.
Hessney: So we're able to give them a little bit of a better price.
Manzo: Everything's going.
So... We don't want to put
it back. Yeah. [ Laughs ]
I don't even cook.
That's okay. You'll need it.
It was a feeding frenzy. They bought everything.
Manzo: And we're gonna start giving better prices.
So let's go.
Oh, good. That table sold.
She bought the bench she has no room for,
but she's gonna make room for it.
Yeah.
Stewart: Rugs are selling. That's good.
You need prices? What do you need?
Yeah, come on. Mark that down for her.
I'm gonna put sold stickers on these.
I think we're cooked.
[ Bell rings ] [ Cheers and applause ]
It's over, 5:00. We are done.
Manzo: It was the most amazing sale,
and I've been in this business for a long time.
I don't just do this for a hobby.
I have never seen people
buy like they bought things under that tent.
We had a really good turnout,
and I didn't feel like there were any disappointed guests.
The sale has been a huge success.
Tickets were sold out. That was a really good start.
And I think we've raised a lot of money
from the sale of all these beautiful things, too.
That personal touch from Martha -- she made this sale.
Klinko: She really took her time with her fans.
Okay. I'll be right back.
How often does that really ever happen?
My teams were amazing.
Chris Hessney and his group, they were up to the task.
The fabulous Frank Kaminski, Vincent Manzo,
and of course, my dear old friend Jim Klinko,
they worked really hard.
First of all, I don't think they expected
that it was gonna be this difficult.
I think I have enough for another tag sale,
but that's gonna be a long time coming.
We need a vacation after this. [ Laughs ]
And even if I'm not running it, I insist on seeing all of you
at the next Great American Tag Sale.
I'd love to do Cher. I think she'd be great.
I would love to see what Snoop Dogg has.
Snoop Dogg, duh. [ Laughs ]
I'd go with Elon Musk. He must have...
[ Chuckles ] ...some pretty cool stuff.
Lara Spencer needs to have a tag sale.
Oh! Lara would have a good one.
'Cause she's a high-class hoarder also.
Don't call us for one. [ Laughs ] Yeah, don't.
We are unavailable for any tag sales in the future.
