Alex Archbold, an antique collector in Westmount, England. Alex once bought an old Cadillac from Madame Rac. This was also the reason why the two became friends. They often talked about their interests.
However, at the end of December 2020, Madame Rac passed away. To commemorate his friend, Alex decided to spend $10,000 (more than 240 million VND at the current exchange rate) to buy back all the furniture in her house. Alex's goal was to buy back the piano that Madame Rac used to teach music.

However, something unexpected happened that shocked Alex. As soon as he opened the door, Alex was stunned by the old woman's ability to store things, the whole room was filled with boxes and bags.
It turned out that Madame Rac was also an antique collector. Most of the items in the room were of great value. Alex found many rare silver coins from the 1920s. He also found a wallet full of cash.
Madam Rac’s closets and racks were filled with designer items, from fur coats to designer camisoles dating back decades. Alex also found an expensive ring tucked into a shoe and a small silver bar that had fallen out of a pile of papers. He also found diamond rings and some gold in the old woman’s home.

Alex then held an online auction to sell off some of Madame Rac’s belongings. After selling some of Madame Rac’s jewelry, Alex raised $250,000. According to experts, Madame Rac’s huge collection could be worth millions of dollars.
Alex said he would hold more auctions to sell his friend's items. However, Alex would keep the piano to show his admiration for his friend. Ultimately, Alex plans to use the proceeds from the auction to fulfill his dream of opening his own coffee shop.
