[@michelewright9090]

It must have been love, for Karen to take a “break” and talk for hours in a thrift store.😂💓

[@michd5507]

Lol, men always need a "boost" of the idea of another guy in the picture 😂 Too funny...

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello 👋how are you doing?

[@thriftiegirltreasures]

Personally I think your the best Re-Seller out there. I love your knowledge, kindness and laughter. I look forward to Wednesday and Sunday videos. Your the reason I started selling on Ebay. I saw your videos over 2 years ago and binged watched then started my journey. My first year 2021 was pretty good, 2022 has not been that good for me. But I'm going to make 2023 a great year. I've followed your business model and someday hopefully will have many more items (not as many as you have). THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@mannapalonen3163]

Have you ever considered writing a reselling guide book? You have so well organized reselling business and lots of that knowledge how to run it.

[@tammydick818]

Love the story about you and Roger! You two seem like a perfect match. Karen, you are the most organized re-seller I've ever watched. Kudos to you👍

[@promisejrhodes]

Oh my gosh! I was home schooled. I think it’s so cool you home schooled your kids. It was wonderful for me. I know it’s not ideal for everyone but I truly loved being home schooled. How cool! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@CarolPalmdaleVintage]

Hi Karen! Yes, please do more of these Q & A Videos :) As i am going through my own journey, I aspire to run my business as successfully as you are .... I would like to know if you do promoted listings ? If so, what percentage ? also, do you list daily or do you just do batches whenever you can ?? Do you have a weekly listing goal ? Thanks again for being YOU :)

[@daleneireland1354]

Hello Sunny Karen, Please consider more Q & A's for us. I'm sure I speak for those of us who appreciate your positivity and disciplined approach to your occupation and personal life...an inspiration for us in our twice weekly dosage!

[@elizabethcandelaria3228]

Love your story and I know hard work effort and integrity took you where you are may God continued to bless you and a bright future for you and Roger 🎉😊

[@sheiklablount5862]

Karen, you are my favorite re-seller. I have learned so much from you. Thanks for being so honest and open with us. I agree that you have enjoy life and not push yourself. I'm glad that you know your limit.

[@KLeonardM]

Karen you know I have been around from the beginning and this is by far the best video, I think because you took us down the meeting Roger path again. More detailed but so much fun. And for the record, you can see that Roger is extremely private and shy although I must admit you do have him appearing and giggling more often. Always am in awe of your stamina; you make me tired just watching and listening but your organization is by far the best I have seen . Not feeling well today and you were just what the doctor ordered. You put a huge smile on my face. God bless you both and see you next time.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Kathleen! 💜💜 your encouragement and support is so appreciated!! 💜💜💜💜

[@penelopepivots3156]

💞You're my morning motivation Karen! I would love more of this style video! You have so much wisdom, & willingly share this treasure with us, is priceless!💞 I had a smile plastered on my face, while you told about first meeting Roger, I could feel the sparks from here!🥳 I love coming in to your channel, nothing but treasures here!!!🥳💞🥳

[@donnathomas8612]

I get all my packing materials for free from a source you might want to look for in your area. Naturopath doctors stock their own pharmacy bcs they prescribe nutritional supplements, vitamins etc that are not available in regular drugstores. These products are mostly in glass bottles which are well packed with lots of padded paper, bubble wrap, styrofoam, etc and of course boxes. The only packing material I buy is tape! I get everything else free from my doctor several times a week. I recommend if your town has a ND, give them a call and ask.

[@hettygreen1488]

I use a independent natural food store in a small town. They are into recycling and are happy to have me take their packaging. Like you said, the bubble wrap is wonderful for breakable items. Different from the roll of bubble wrap.

[@kathyaldridge7171]

@@hettygreen1488 I am wondering if anyone else goes to the trouble of breaking down boxes and reassembling them inside out in order to make a sold item have a better presentation?

[@debbieholt8261]

Yes, I do this all the time! I sell only hardgoods so most of my packaging is in boxes.

[@deborahveryking6441]

Liked you answering questions. Very personal, Karen!

[@jillgott6567]

Thank you so much for explaining how you ship , pack, and store your inventory, and sharing your business and personal life. Very very organized.

[@lynn8524]

Thanks for answering questions about your personal life. I also homeschooled my four children and prayed about what I was going to do when my youngest child graduated. Thrifting/reselling was the answer. I just love it.

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

I think you are a great example for people: men and women in terms of organization, steadfastness, caring, and honesty.

[@lindadainard7629]

I really enjoyed this format. I realize that it may be time consuming but it is really great that your willingness to be so candid and informative is appreciated. You have such a full day, amazing how you get your many tasks accomplished. Your daughter is amazing, must have learned her work ethic from her mother.

[@ladiesauxiliaryverbsociety6125]

Hi Karen, would you ever consider doing a video about “bad buys” and what you learned from them? As a new-ish reseller, I love seeing all the success but am also curious to hear about things that didn’t work out so well because that can be even more informative! Just a thought. Love your channel.

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

Gosh you are a favorite KZbinr of mine. I love everything. You make it very enjoyable to watch. You and your family are the sweetest.

[@monicapharo2330]

I’m a super fan of your inventory system. Randomly mixing items into bins with numerically ordered bins makes my head hurt. Your ‘analog’ system is so smart ❤

[@laurienye7514]

I loved that blue and pink shirt men's. Yes, I loved the questions and answers part of the show.

[@karenyee9812]

Yes do more of sitting, chatting and answering questions. Very enjoyable.

[@veronicastewart1112]

I have never been bored with any of your videos.

[@appreciatinglife4425]

Really enjoyed this video, Karen! Informative and interesting. I really like what you do and how you do it. I'm a reseller myself, same age. You are inspiring. And you surround yourself with wonderful people too.

[@Lulu5771]

Hi Karen, I loved this video ! Nice change of pace with the questions and answers. Also I don’t think I’ve ever seen you sit down. Lol. ❤

[@francesfuruya9486]

Lol!😉

[@sassygrannyplusakastephani4779]

😂

[@edwinjones3786]

I love the Q and A episodes. Love your videos and enjoy watching each and every one of them!!! Lorena, Strasburg, Pa.

[@mariannemcgregor2986]

Not really into the questions part but love watching you pull orders. I like to see the profit you make off each item. You definitely run a top notch business.

[@robinmp8300]

Here is an idea for your packing peanuts, seal them in a grocery plastic bag and then take the bags and tuck them around your items, I for one cant stand picking up packing peanuts! so I find this method works great! all you do is grab the bag!

[@michelerouse5109]

I like your question and answer videos more than anything. . Wish you would do more of those and make it the entire video. I have a question. Do you get a lot of returns with selling clothes? I am starting to sell more clothes but don't want to have to do returns. I am a no return seller but Ebay will sometimes make us take returns regardless of our selling policies.

[@francourter6972]

Enjoyed your Q & A session. Especially your early career experiences. Fitness career makes sense as you look wonderful! Would love to have another sit down and chat session.

[@francesfuruya9486]

Blessed L ady! You just get more and more beautiful... loves the Lord, very hardworking, voice of velvet, and loves to laugh! I can feel the stress melting off me, as I listen to and watch you. You and Roger are a beautiful couple, yes, he IS easy on the eyes!!! I love your content most because it is wholesome. Thankyou for your Godly example.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thank you so much!💜

[@comeshoppingwithme9929]

I would love more Q&A videos, but without the extra content. With the first half of the video being you pulling stuff for shipping, I almost turned it off thinking it was a mislabeled video...

[@rockymountainreseller3858]

Good Morning. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I ran a Black Friday-Saturday sale as well. I have good luck with nightgowns and PJs as well as union suits. Can't keep the red long underwear on the shelf.

[@suekrebs3497]

Yes, I really enjoyed your question and answer segment. Of course, the entire video was fun!

[@oddgoblet]

I'm slowly going back and watching all of your videos and just watched this one today. I love this format and hope you do more of them! Thanks!

[@Bitbit3427]

So happy to hear how you meet Roger…… I knew it was at Goodwill….so there is hope for me in Goodwill store since feel like I live there.❤❤😊

[@patticoltman2441]

Yes on the sit down and talk time!

[@Jaelynn2022]

Hi Karen! Thanks for the great info! I’m a new seller at 73! You and I are a lot alike in that we are a bit perfectionist! I learn so much watching you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being out there to help!!!❤

[@denisewright4778]

Love the Q & A portion! You have so much to teach us!

[@sylviajones4907]

Love it when you said, "may one day live in a barn." I lived in PA for about 8 months four years ago so I have seen those beautiful huge barns. ♡ PA & I made such sweet friends while there. Thank you for your educational & fun videos.

[@amymilam9797]

You look absolutely stunning in the Q and A. Eggplant is YOUR color!!

[@SL-bo7ui]

Can you go over your shopping process? Show us how you ship a sweater for instance. Do you have a label machine? How do you know how much to shop for etc? Then do you take it to the post office?

[@shelia9207]

I loved this video and thank you for taking the time to answer questions

[@daynashannon9679]

Great video! Love the Q&A portion. Wishing you a healthy and happy holiday season!!

Yes, I love this way of learning x

[@bobbinoethlich3035]

I liked everything in this video. Thanks Karen for being so open with us your followers!

[@rosealcidoacademyofaesthet8947]

You are doing so well Karen. You are an inspiration.

[@lorrieriddle4079]

This was great! Really enjoyed this fireside chat!

[@karenmoore1814]

Great video! You are such an inspiration and absolutely my favorite. Love the Q&A.

[@BloomByCC]

Time and energy…. Thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving ❤

[@flossycaines1270]

I enjoyed this format , thank you!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I really enjoyed the Q & A. I like getting to know the people I am spending my time watching. Although personalities come through in the videos, it’s nice to know more about the person attached to that personality, if that makes sense? I appreciate the time you take to share your business, yourself & your family with us. It makes you my top reseller to watch. I enjoy your organization (I can’t do chaos) & the effort you put into your business. Thank you so much!! xo

[@carolewilke3151]

yes,do more of these.

[@cindymyers1751]

Love all your videos Karen!! You are such an inspiration!! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching your videos on Wednesday’s and Sundays❤️

[@violetaperla6964]

Since I discovered your channel I have been binge watching your videos love love your channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@Flippin_Crazy]

You amaze me. And you remind me of my Aunty. She did the same as you. It is so weird-you look a lot like her. She was a stunning woman. She would jump in her van-drive from Michigan to Florida, hitting every auction house, yard sale all the way. Then visit w me for a week or so, we hung out at the beach, ate Greek food In Tarpon Springs, then she would head back north doing the same. She was my fav and I was hers. I started almost a year ago, reselling and it didn’t dawn on me what the hell she did, until I found your channel. She called herself a dealer. And eBay wasn’t even thought of. And computers were just coming out. Karen, she found a Roger too. His name wasn’t Roger, but he treated her like the Queen she was. Bawling my eyes out, rn. Hope I haven’t creeped you out. I just had to tell you. Thank you Karen❤❤

[@debb4263]

Hi Karen great video, and yes, I like this style of video with questions and answers, very motivating!

[@susanward678]

I love hearing your story. It's very similar to mine. I really like the question and answer format. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

[@Mia_1941]

Hey Karen I love this video! Hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving ♥️♥️

You are a fountain of knowledge. Thank you so much.

[@Eliskalulu]

Love hearing your ideas and how you run your business! You are so uplifting! Please do more of these !

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

I enjoyed your answering questions and to be honest, watching you cut bushes, tending to your yard, shopping, it’s all good. Just enjoy watching someone who seems to be a lovely person. Thank you!

[@inesspanni]

Karen - so glad my sister introduced me to you! You are inspiration for our #resellergoals!

[@deborahlarive7711]

I like this video. It shows you care to share yourself with us. Thank you so much for sharing and showing us that you are a everyday person. God bless you and have a wonderful day.

[@jackg4226]

I would love to see how you organize your schedule . Lists ect.. love your channel 🎉

[@Jwlryartist]

Love the Q&A part of the video!... my question is, what is your schedule like in a typical week? Would love to know how you manage your time doing shopping, listing, shipping, etc. And how much time a day you allow for each task.

[@GoPugsGo]

Would also like to know this! “A day in the life”

[@patriciaa.easttexas6311]

I love this style of video, because I can have you playing in the background while I work. I like the other's, too, but I have to sit in front of my screen to watch. Because I HAVE to watch! LOL
