The Twitch streamer Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe held a live “streamer flea market” and auctioned off old costumes from his time as a YouTuber.
What does HandOfBlood sell? The Twitch streamer HandOfBlood was an active YouTuber for a long time, regularly uploading Let’s Plays. However, he did not play the games in a “conventional” way, but staged the Let’s Play with his team very elaborately with costumes and props.
The game Getting Over It, which is already difficult enough with normal controls, was played by HandOfBlood in a huge cauldron, for example. Nowadays, HandOfBlood is mainly active on Twitch. Here he still occasionally dresses up for gaming, but less elaborately.
Props and costumes from his active YouTube time are now being sold by the content creator at his own flea market. For “special” pieces, meaning costumes that were used in a particularly successful video, HandOfBlood even held an auction at the end.
The streamer also dressed up as the character Gollum to play the eponymous game:
34,000 euros for a good cause
What does HandOfBlood collect donations for? The Twitch streamer HandOfBlood collected money for the Berlin animal shelter with his hosted streamer flea market. On-site, about 15,000 euros were raised through sales and auctions, and with the donation call on the internet via betterplace.org, another 19,000 euros were added.
In total, it currently amounts to over 34,000 euros that will go to the Berlin animal shelter (as of: 16.09.2025, 11:00).
Of course, the whole event was also streamed live on Twitch. Here, viewers could contribute to the Berlin animal shelter using the donation link and simultaneously guess how much a prop or costume should cost.
What else is being sold? But not only HandOfBlood himself with his costumes could be found at his streamer flea market, but also his content creator colleagues. They had their own stalls, with their very own creative ideas to encourage people to donate.
For instance, film critic and YouTuber David Hain sold some of his old DVDs, and from the streamer fisHC0p, you could pay a fee to have a spontaneous song composed and recorded.
The Twitch streamer HandOfBlood has already hosted some exciting events live on Twitch. He even held his own gaming convention, where he showcased upcoming games. As an indie publisher, he had some games to present.
