5 Items I NEVER Pass Up | Thrifting to Resell on Ebay | Reselling | BOLO 2021

[@jdianec]

I recently bought a vintage cobalt blue glass ashtray from the Ritz Hotel in Paris for $0.99 and sold it within a couple days for $75.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Awesome!

[@larsawy9]

Ooh I got a little trinket dish also from Ritz Hotel Paris… it was the white with pink roses, marked Limoges. I think I paid 1.99 and sold for $50. Those Hotel Ritz Paris items are great buys!

[@npsecurity5428]

I always screenshot when I find a comp because you never know if you can find it again. (speaking about the paper wight)

[@christinahoffmann383]

I know im super late but at 16:45 you go past a German beer stein and depending on design they can go for a decent amount. Lots of collectors out there for them

[@susanshearer6106]

I would have picked up the Nebraska Cornhuskers item at the 7:00 mark. As you know, college football fans love love love their teams!

[@NewChapterVintage]

Rainy, dreary day. Your videos lift my spirits. So I have resorted to re-watching old videos. 😂

[@giselawilliams1877]

There are so many treasures, high dollar items you picked up and put back! Even if a little more money, they will yield high profits! That wolf art onyx would have sold for big money!

[@OhHollyO]

The Cherry Plate looks like Peggy Karr fused glass. You have to look carefully for the signature. One just like that sold on eBay on June 21 for $40.00.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Sweet!

[@giselawilliams1877]

On shelf right above fire & light green luminary’s, there was glassy baby

[@Kane6676]

I was at an estate sale and bought 5 paintings for 15 bucks. I sold them all at my antique booth for over 60 bucks a piece. You can find these deals all day long

[@barbaraannjones2670]

:) BTW there are "squirrel" people out there who rescue baby squirrels and they adore them! I know one and babysat one of her babies for her once! Bottle fed every couple of hours. Soooo cute! She's a Animal cop in Arizona now!

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Oooh! Thank you!

[@barbaraannjones2670]

@@TexasGalTreasures Funny you should respond at this moment because I just finished doing some organizing and listing and lowered a few prices. Just sat down to relax with a video and was thinking I need another TGT video to get my head straightened out .....AGAIN!! THAT will be latter because I'm thinking Swamp People :) Now THAT's a hard living! later gator :)

[@altaolden]

Wow!...Love this style of thrifting video! Thanks for sharing...the education you bring makes us better pickers!

[@TexasGalTreasures]

I'm so glad!

[@stuckinflorida97]

Some things I would have checked out: The glass plate @ 7:42 looked like Peggy Karr fused glass. And the metal bowl you moved off of it resembled Nambe metalware. Were the Day of the Dead plates @ 13:50 Williams and Sonoma? The green votive holder @ 25:10 looked like a possible Glassybaby. TFS your great finds!

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Lynn G, :) Thank you very much!! :)

[@judithsimeone8727]

I love the Cherry platter it was adorable

[@pameladoherty7672]

Hi Margaret I have been following you for years and I have to say I’m loving your shopping videos . I love when your quirky and how you handle your trolls also thanks for the education and for making me laugh my kids are grown but they were in theater through college my daughter is now a high school teacher for kids with special needs and my son is a nurse practitioner I loved it all the plays they’ve been in best years of my life

[@lisaroth7526]

Ok you talked me into it - heading off to GW now.

[@barbaraannjones2670]

One of my twins is an artist and you picked up a couple of things she's made her interpretation of in your trip that u showed us :) I'm on lock up watching Andrew after a couple of seizures for a couple more days so this was a satisfying sub/virtual visit for me :)

[@giselawilliams1877]

The Wizard, little silver vases , this store has so many great treasures!😍

[@thriftyniftyfun]

Also a harry potter original. Pick those up and make sets.

[@giselawilliams1877]

Hat trinket cases, looked like a whole collection, also pink Art Deco dome

[@estherfarrow3284]

Loved this video. Like to go thrifting with you and hear why you picked something up, how you researched it and priced it! So fun and informative. ❤️

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patriciaa.easttexas6311]

I was hoping you were going to pick up the little mermaid in the shell (when you were picking up the little handmade turle). She looked vintage and I'm sure she would have done well if she was.

[@giselawilliams1877]

Light green glass circles could very well be fire & light , if signed will be in cursive or shield S & F, all of their pieces are high dollar items and even stems of two types of glasses, like wine! If you google and follow different links, you will see they have little hearts, butterflies and so much more ! It’s worth familiarizing yourself with pieces! Like glassy babies, say so on bottoms!

[@prosperousutensil8178]

whoah, never heard of a glassybaby and just looked up solds on ebay!

[@giselawilliams1877]

Polish pottery and the other vase next to it

[@NewChapterVintage]

Yay! I’m always so happy when you post-such an encouragement! Have a great weekend!

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Thank you! You too!

Also that UT cow bell! That is vintage.

[@signeknudsen8513]

This was my first time watching your channel I really like the format where you shop (and give us good close-ups) and then insert your research on comparable items. It's better than all shopping followed by all value research. I also appreciate your commentary. You're informative and not repetitive and throw in enough of your thoughts and opinions to keep it interesting. I know I can learn something here even though I've been in this for many many years. Still, I think almost every time I shop I think back about the things I wish I had purchased. I love to shop the thrift stores with a certain abandon but while shopping I'm also trying to restrain myself, to not make stupid mistakes and invariably I get too conservative at times. As for your shopping today, I gasped when you found the Danish enameled ashtray. I definitively would have picked up the onyx piece. I love Maxfield Parrish! Ive always picked up glass paperweights if I like them and the price is right but I keep them. Also, it's good to see you're not picking up all the cheap made in China type junk. I dont waste time looking at them in the store so I don't care for shopping videos that waste my time showing them. Maybe that's interesting to some people but I'm more interested in quality items. You do a good job of editing out the junk. Very enjoyable overall so I've subscribed and will definitely watch your other videos.

[@ToyAddict]

Those are some fun finds. Not usually stuff that I look for. I'll have to keep my eyes open for these!

[@jochildress5003]

I liked the striped ceramic hatbox trinket boxes with the hats on top. Also the plates with the sugar skulls, especially with Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos coming up.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

True!

[@kirstenrissling879]

7:38 was a Peggy Karr Cherries plate. 🍒 Aw man! 🤦‍♀️

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Aw man!

[@kirstenrissling879]

@@TexasGalTreasures ha! It's not worth a million bucks or anything! (Maybe $30 or so??) I just like her style!

[@cherishedtreasuresthriftin8169]

You should look at black glass! There was an amethyst “Black glass candy dish w a lid next to that flamingo. It could have been, L.E. Smith or Tiffin glass. Not something you see often and usually brings a fair price. That particular dish could sell for 30-40$. Just an FYI:):)

[@giselawilliams1877]

Skull plate next to box without lid, looked like three of them

Another name for that oddly-shaped pitcher is ewer.

I have a handmade ceramic dog on my dresser I couldn’t leave behind at the thrift store. I’m sure he is just a student project but I love him! That stone piece was neat. Maybe a bear to ship but worth repairing to resell I think. Thanks for the tips!

I've been subscribed to your channel for a week or so now and I'm finding it fascinating and very helpful! I used to sell on ebay years ago but got tired of people wanting a reduction in price on items I sold, in exchange for positive feedback! I'm considering going back or doing etsy instead, I was just wondering how much of your profits are spent in listing fees since you are on numerous platforms? Isn't that quite a bit of $, especially on items that are 20-30 dollar range? Just curious! We do not have any Savers thrift stores here that I'm aware of, just a ton of Goodwills and salvation army stores. OMG! I swear the salvation army stores have now recently hired someone to check completed listing on ebay and price things accordingly, because lately when I've gone there and have checked while shopping, their items are an exact match to ebay completed listings! It makes me angry because thrifting is not just for those who want to resell, it is those who cannot afford to shop retail stores! Anyway, I'm loving your channel! 🙂

I love, love, love that you show comparables and show us your pricing and research process. As a beginner that is incredibly helpful. Question: Do you list the same item on different platforms?

[@PossumWrangler]

At minute mark 13:30 there is a grey or silver tone Lampe Berger you def. should have checked…..are you familiar with Lampe Berger or oil diffusers, if not you should, they are a def BOLO😊 *Edited to add that I just checked value and used that particular one is $50…..and that’s actually the low end of Lampe Berger

I was watching the video and I wanted to tell you what the little clay sculpture was. As a former first grade artist I can tell you that that is a turtle. I know because I made one just like it when I was in first grade only it was all lime green. I didn't bother to separate the color of the shell from the color of the turtle like this person did, I'm assuming they're wearing a hat and that is not just a brain popping out. But I know it is a turtle because of the cross hatching on the back. After I had almost finish raising my children my mother and I were talking about this little piece of sculpture because she kept it and loved it and told me that it was a lovely horse. I about died I said Mom at the turtle, she said I thought it was a horsey look at the back look at the marks that's a shell that's the little marks on the show. She left and she always thought it was a horse. So I recognize this piece right away LOL

I DO love these types of videos. TY! Yesterday I came across 2 Casamigo Tequila Pourers/holders (whatever they're called) for $3.50 each but I had no signal in the store and was already approaching my spending limit so I left them but of course I took a picture so I could look them up later. I got home, unpacked stuff and looked them up on Ebay. None were currently listed but one had sold last month for $50. I ran back up there the next morning and they were gone. Nothing like walking past a hundred dollar bill! It happens. Darn darn darn. 😃

[@prosperousutensil8178]

thanks for talking about that little tequila pitcher!

[@colleengoetz6596]

Love watching your videos. You are so informative and I love seeing what's in the thrifts in different parts of the country. I saw that you picked up the lacquer coaster box. Did you see if it was Couroc? I always check now as Couroc sells for nice money and I've missed out on some. :( They can come in round plate styles or oval platter types as well.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Thank you so much!
