You didn't put things away nicely as you found them.

[@FlippinLizzie]

I noticed that too after the fact - thanks for the reminder - I think pickers get caught up in the hectic pace and act like teenagers sometimes. I’ll take solace in the fact that I didn’t have an adult tantrum that required police intervention and aim to do better in the future.

[@colleenbrady9675]

I agree.

[@FlippinLizzie]

Thank you for the reminder, and I vow to do better next time :-) what did you think about the things I found?

[@lynnlogan7662]

I agree. Someone took a lot of time to fold things nicely for you to rifle through them and leave them in a mess. And not putting things back like they were. Again, someone took a little of time to set up that estate sale. I was very surprised at your disregard.

[@FlippinLizzie]

My sincerest apologies - I got carried away and didn’t even realize until later - it feels like a Black Friday sale and gets hectic but my goal is to do better

[@csnive0826]

It is shocking to watch a video like this where you’re ok with just barreling through the sale items and just leaving them after you’ve sifted through them instead of taking the extra 2 seconds to put the stack back or put the item back where you pulled it from. Ridiculous!

[@FlippinLizzie]

I agree. You are right. It gets so hectic that I wasn’t even aware of it, but luckily, several viewers have scolded me about it, and I am making a concerted effort to do better from this time forward. I hope that you can forgive me for, this selfish oversight.

[@jab1989]

Maybe she was under stress due to the fact that she arrived during drama! I would feel uneasy if I witnessed that.

[@FlippinLizzie]

I was stressed, but only because I was super excited about shopping and I have admitted my wrongdoing and apologized repeatedly… I actually didn’t realize while I was shopping that I was even doing that… But I do apologize and I have made myself aware for future shopping trips so that I won’t be so disrespectful and messy… Full disclosure… The drama actually occurred after this clip. I just used a snippet of it to show you what was to come

[@heathermanning5368]

Great finds! I love that Santa face! He sure is cute!

[@FlippinLizzie]

Thank you!!!

[@deidremanning4392]

Pet peeve from running estate sales is people that rummage through stuff and leave it all disheveled like yourself !

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yeah I apologize - I never even realized I was doing it. But I’ve mended my ways. :)

[@deidremanning4392]

@FlippinLizzie cool, I can totally understand especially in a crowded estate sale. I just have a background from the flip side perspective . I remember over and over going around straightening things backup.

[@FlippinLizzie]

I’m truly sorry. I’m very aware of it now and I’m much more careful. I’ve received a lot of feedback on this, so I’ve made it my mission to do better.

[@FlippinLizzie]

I’m truly very sorry. I’m making a big effort to do better now that I’m aware. :)

[@FlippinLizzie]

Oh my goodness the first comment didn’t go through it looked like so I posted again L O L

[@janabloxham7480]

Wow! Scary! Some people are crazy angry. Thanks for sharing your finds!

[@FlippinLizzie]

Thanks for watching and contributing!! I’m enjoying showing everyone, and you’re very welcome!

[@pattia5653]

Watching these videos my favorite is conversation even if it's you describing what you see or talking to someone with you or next to you. Not just the wrestling noise of going through things. Just a helpful hint to keep watchers attention.

[@FlippinLizzie]

I talk to myself all the time, so it shouldn’t be that hard to add more discussion even when no one else is in the room.

[@joanneverderico5040]

This is my first time watching you and I really just love the way you go about and so I subscribed and you know like that and I'm so happy and you handled it well I think everybody their handled it well.

[@FlippinLizzie]

Thank you for being here! That sale sure was an experience to remember!

[@marydumois4242]

I got a little nauseous from the movement

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yeah, I have that same experience with a lot of KZbinrs who wear a GoPro. I’m not sure what the answer is but I am trying with every video to move more slowly while still moving quickly enough to get the best items.

[@jab1989]

I love the paintings!

[@FlippinLizzie]

They were fabulous! Sold Locally for a cozy profit!

[@CGermanB]

Some sort of an intro would be nice, who are you, what are you doing, what is the plan...you know, basic intro stuff.

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yes! Check out some other videos and you’ll be pleased to see that I usually do intros! :)

[@ThePechangagirl]

Making a mess in a persons house

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yes, I keep apologizing for this and if you watch my more recent videos, I aim to do much better. I do get overly excited out of state sales and sometimes I don’t even realize what I’m doing in my excited quest to find treasures to share with you. Again, I apologize and agree that I was wrong. There isn’t much more I can do.

[@FlippinLizzie]

I believe if you check out some of my more recent videos, you will see that I have already incorporated this feedback into them. I was under the impression that people actually did not like intros, because they really wanted to get into the action of the sale, but since I’ve had a lot of feedback about doing an intro, I think almost every single video has had one. Check out one of the more recent ones! :-)

[@ilacallya324]

If i saw that bull....i would have walked right out...that house is cursed

[@FlippinLizzie]

A literal bull or figurative? It’s been so long since this sale for me…

[@DedraAmbroseandSnow]

​@@FlippinLizziethe bull is an if I remember correctly an evil God. I forget I think Egyptian God. Don't quote me on that. But yes that one is cursed.

[@FlippinLizzie]

Oh jeepers!

[@stacieclark-benson688]

Oh gosh! I hope I don't ever run into a crazy person like that. My anxiety will go throug the roof & you might find me hiding in the basement or what not. 😂😂 Loved all your finds. 😊

[@FlippinLizzie]

It was a bit triggering, but when he started smashing cars I was literally frozen in place.

[@donnaleigh2356]

Wow…great finds! That neighbor would have made me TOO nervous!!!

[@FlippinLizzie]

I was kind of nervous, and I actually said to another bystander “I don’t think I should be filming this”, and then she said “you absolutely have to film this!”

[@donnaleigh2356]

@@FlippinLizzie yes, even if you don’t use the footage on here it could be needed for the cops to see how the man was acting.

[@FlippinLizzie]

Exactly! They did not ask for it, surprisingly. They had tons of witnesses, though.

[@annhinson5670]

Wow! The neighbor went psychotic. Beautiful daisy blanket. The lamp post was great, I've never seen anything like that before. I also liked the light up Christmas tree.

[@FlippinLizzie]

It was nuts! I was trying to load up my purchase items when this chaos ensued and so I pulled out my phone to record it and then started to feel guilty about doing so, but the other bystanders encouraged me to film it because the guy was going so crazy and we weren’t sure what was going to happen

[@FlippinLizzie]

I have never seen one of those lamp posts either and I couldn’t find one like it even with Google lens.

[@minnesotagirl1473]

Watching you go through stuff and leave a mess is just pathetic

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yes, I was horrified myself. I apologize and now that I’m aware of it I’ve mended my ways. For some reason, at this sale in particular, I lost my head a little. Not as bad as the guy we called the cops on, but I messed up (literally), and I’m sorry.

[@ilovegameslibb2917]

At first I thought you were bypassing the ornaments 😂 They had awesome stuff. Those sewing patterns are worth $ I hope you went back?

[@FlippinLizzie]

I did go through the house a few times, for sure. I have a lot of vintage ornaments, so I have started to pass some up if they have condition issues, but they are one of my favorite things to pick up!

[@jab1989]

Wow- you got a deal

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised!

[@feleciajohnson8467]

Blades of grass 😂

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yeah. Truly grasping at straws, right?

[@lindablackmore5882]

Just found your channel. Like it. Some suggestions. I watch several similar, and I hope you find this helpful. When you put a comparison price up it’s way too fast. Also any messages you run across the screen. Good stuff! Educate yourself on vintage things. There was lots you missed.

[@FlippinLizzie]

Thanks for the tips!

[@FlippinLizzie]

Depending upon the quality of the items that are particular sale, I often pass up on items purposely to keep my inventory down since my death pile is huge. It’s never my goal to buy every single item of value at a sale.

[@zsantis3831]

May I please ask what state you are in? I never see things for those prices where I live. I mean never. If I saw a vintage Disney anything for $.40, I would snatch it up. I am always looking for vintage ornaments, but they are always $20 or more. I am flabbergasted.❤

[@FlippinLizzie]

Maryland :)

[@DALEJRGIRL3815]

How do you fined the estate sales. I look but never can find any.

[@FlippinLizzie]

Go to Estatesales.net and Craigslist :)

[@jme4128]

I think one one the ladies hankies and the divider paper fell out of the box around 1:58. 😔

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yes, thank you! The former cop picked it up for me, old school chivalry style. :)

[@arockingroupie]

I liked the video, its hard to film with a phone that is at a different level than your eye people. I feel alot have never been to one of these sales but people push and reach around so its not alot of time to fold as precisely as it was set. This sale look crowded for a small house

[@FlippinLizzie]

It was packed and very hard to film or place items back perfectly but I’m bowing to do better!

[@FlippinLizzie]

Vowing lol

[@maconsions]

WOW! Your camera work made me dizzy. Moving it around a little too fast

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yeah, hard to compete with pickers and film at times. :)

[@FlippinLizzie]

Try some of the thrifting videos. Slower movement there. :)

[@karenkuhr5698]

Yeah, camera so close it was impossible to see what she's looking at. Going to wait to see if this is a usual thing before I sunscribe

[@FlippinLizzie]

The GoPro makes it a little bit tricky because it is strapped to me, and I actually cannot see what’s in the viewfinder while I am actively shopping… You might enjoy skipping to the haul at the end where the camera work is more predictable

[@FlippinLizzie]

Thanks for the feedback - I’ll see if there is a way to stabilize footage - I’m not sure if I’ll always be disciplined enough to move slowly when in an exciting pick ;)

[@user-cp5vy6mh3d]

Save that tiny tree for your old age when you can't muster up the energy to decorate!!!

[@FlippinLizzie]

Great idea!!!

[@user-sl4xp3ji1n]

What's up with picking stuff up to look at n not putting it back the way you found it oh yeah I got it it's not yours. Respect peoples yard sails likes it's your

[@FlippinLizzie]

Yes, I messed up literally and figuratively. I apologize and I have been making effort to be more aware. I never even realized I was doing it. Now that I realize I’m working hard to do better. If you read the comments, this issue has been brought up Many times and I have apologized repeatedly

[@user-sl4xp3ji1n]

@@FlippinLizzie I wasn't trying to be nasty I like your guys channel àlot we all have pet peves it's just it gets to people after awhile I think that any normal person having a yard sale would be granted the experience of people having respect it took a lot of time for the person to put that sale together for yard sale junkys like us. So keep pounding the pavement for that best find PC. Out

[@FlippinLizzie]

No, I know. I’m glad that viewers have made me more more aware of this because I really didn’t even realize that I was doing it and now that I realize it I’m sort of horrified by the way I acted that day or maybe have acted in other shopping experiences, so I’m happy to be mending my ways.

[@user-sl4xp3ji1n]

@@FlippinLizzie. Ok have fun picking n find gd stuff can't wait to see more videos. PC out bsafe. Doug

[@FlippinLizzie]

Thank you! I got a few treasures today and I have an intriguing sale to share this week! Happy hunting!

[@fjonewport]

Nice bleeping bleep

[@FlippinLizzie]

I knew you’d like that one

[@ThePechangagirl]

making a mess as you rifle thru someone’s home. So rude. Your kinda like the guy coming in and SMEARING his rudeness on others.

[@FlippinLizzie]

I agree and I apologized because I was wrong. The only thing we can do when we mess up badly is to do better next time and that’s what I’m doing. It does make me feel good that so many people are so considerate out there. If you knew me, you would know that I am not a rude person at all, but that I get overexcited during Estate Sales and sometimes that leads to bad behavior. I aim to do better in the future. Keep watching for proof!

[@djrandall-62prepmich]

Please- stop the whistling!!!!

[@FlippinLizzie]

I’ll do my best!

[@FlippinLizzie]

I don’t even know I’m doing it and I hate to do a voiceover, but I’ll cultivate a non whistling approach for you.

[@jenstapleton8672]

Why lie? You showed video of his grass, it wasn't dead and the tires were all in the grass. I don't care that he was upset but why lie or be dramatic on your end?

[@FlippinLizzie]

I think when I said it was dead, I was quoting someone else. I don’t know if I got all the way up to the area where the grass was because I was a little bit nervous after his meltdown… Yes, there definitely were some tires on the edge of his grass, but it wasn’t a super well manicured lawn as I can recall from the distance I viewed it from. Regardless of the condition of the grass, the guy broke the law and became violent, and I experienced his rage firsthand, and that’s enough to make anybody upset and maybe even a little bit dramatic.

[@arockingroupie]

That grass was not very happy and its winter, its half dead. The guy was over the time she wasnt dramatic and calmly described what she saw

[@FlippinLizzie]

It’s interesting to hear different perspectives on things, even if we don’t agree. :)

[@sarahfwiend1146]

Okay, so I'm new to your channel and just in the first two minutes I see you filming which makes it harder for you to see what you're doing and your banging glass, etc. Then you mess up the t-shirts and quilts like you own the place. Are you really going to try and shame someone else?

[@FlippinLizzie]

I don’t think I tried to shame anyone else, but I did apologize for the errors in my ways. If you thought that was what I was doing, I apologize.

[@karenkuhr5698]

Your camera work right through the reveal is dreadful. I felt like I was crawling around on my hands and knees and was so myopic that I was peering at the things right next to my nose

[@FlippinLizzie]

I’m so sorry! I am new at this and still learning to multitask. Perhaps try a video that is a thrift store (more recent) or a haul.
