I'm not a reseller...but I am decluttering and putting everything I no longer want, need or like on E-Bay and watching you has helped me so much with how to sell my stuff...and that is even though I am in the UK- so thank you Karen.xx

[@lavenderclothesline]

I’m so glad!! I love a good declutter!! 💜💜

Hello Karen. My Goodwill prices are extremely high. $6.99 for a used Tee Shirt from Walmart that was bought new for $3.99. Insane! I go to other Thrift Stores in my community that help others in need. I pay $1 or $2 for men & womens pants & shirts, sometime new with tags. They also sell hard goods for reasonable prices. I also shop at Consignment shops when they have their 50% off sales. I find name brand items for under $5 to $8. Also new with tags. Great Deals! Goodwill for me is not a good place to shop in my area, mostly all junk items.

[@sophiemac7494]

@ Mary Allen I totally agree last 4 months I noticed the prices in Good Will skyrocketed. They are gauging unbelievable!

Always fun to see what's selling for others. You always have a nice variety. I was feeling a bit lazy today. But your positive energy always gives me a boost.

[@suzanne296]

I don't shop goodwill. Prices off the charts. I go to resale stores only.

[@misslee6788]

I wonder if it has to do with location? Mine has same prices for certain types of items. For example most home decor is $4.49 and most furniture is $8.79 I'm in Northern California.

[@bonnieholley6261]

Our GW has lost their mind w prices although sometimes they are deals because they don’t know what things are.

[@beverlysullivan1427]

OMG!!! My favorite. Love when you do buying mixed with shipping. I am so addicted to your videos. Can't wait each week for the new ones.

Definitely staying tuned for the basement refresh and organizing content! Not only do I enjoy following along as you shop, but also how you organize! See ya next time.

[@mpatrick8673]

Just wanted to make sure you shipped 5 of those Gevalia mugs. I think that's what the listing said and I think I saw another on the shelf. Thanks for great content!

Have been addicted to them since found your channel last month. 😂 I hope I have made you some good money with my countless views! 😂❤️ Your energy is so warm, fun and friendly and always cheers me up.

I believe the brass “ loud bell” is a cow bell. Brass scissors for grapes they were a gifting trend in the 80’s.

[@debbied3116]

I am not sure if I have said this before but your system of storing your items is totally awesome!!! You have every item folded neatly, and packaged neatly in a bag. Just inspiring to me. I love your system and the way the bins have the name of items in it. Thanks for sharing!! Love your channel!!!

I am starting to get away from Goodwill because of all the price increases! I am fortunate to live in an area with a lot of non-profit stores and they have great prices. Goodwill is getting ridiculous! Question for you about the clothes you sell. Do you wash and iron the clothes before photographing and mailing to customers? I’d love to know your process for clothing!! Thanks for all the helpful videos!!

IMO The best thrift stores are in UT; the Deseret Industries.

[@joesimon2029]

It;s NOT just the prices: Goodwill FILTERS. There are signs posted in the back room "DO NOT PUT OUT OLD TOYS , COMIC BOOKS, DOLLS , Designer labels like DIOR, CHANEL, Tiffany , etc. " . My joke here is in Bizarro World Goodwill the signs read "DO NOT PUT OUT COFFEE MUGS that SAY ' You're 50 - don't think of it as 50 Years - think of it as 5 Decades!". And don;t put out those ugly LOLITA wine glasses, broken figurines from T.J. Maxx , jars of half used lotions and cremes, clear glass dishes, Christmas guest towels with stains, ashtrays, coasters , broken Pyrex or wooden bowls.

[@donnawheeler1351]

That is your basic cowbell as worn by an actual cow. They don't bring much but people do buy them for farmhouse decor and some people collect bells. Some antique bells can be valuable.

I like the elephant lamps enough to touch up the missing color; good profit, but too heavy to ship? Nothing wrong with your inventory system as long as you are able to find everything, which you do quite well!

If those lamps were nicely colored - they would be OK. I hate that "T.J. Maxx fake antique Made in China" gold color- it's so muddy.

Hi Karen, New subbie here however I have been watching your videos for quite some time. You choose the most lovely pieces. I see you pass up the items that will not bring as much re-sale value.

If you ever do a road-trip, head out to Atlanta Ga to LC Thrift Store. It has to be one of the largest thrifts I’ve ever been to. Prices are way better than Goodwill and if you like mid century modern you can’t go wrong. But the place is filled with 30’s 40’s 50’s and of course newer items as well

I believe the large cobalt vase with sunflowers was Majolica and did have some age.

[@Patricia.resells]

Maybe not majolica...but def vintage.

[@Bethechange197]

No, I dont think so. I have a ton of antique majolica and that piece was definitely not majolica. The colors and pattern are the wrong style and the glazing is also wrong.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks so much!! 💜💜

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I wish people who donated their unsold items from their antique booth or business would take the price tags off prior to donating them. Goodwill will see an expensive price tag & think they need to also price it high. (Like the $50 cherub brass trivet). Just a little pet peeve of mine. I found a Raggedy Ann hobbyist planter at Goodwill a few weeks ago & they had it priced at $24.99. After trying to figure out why it was priced so high, I peeled the sticker back & found a sticker from a antique store that said $34.99. The planter looked like a young school aged child painted it. Anyway, thank you for sharing so much with us. I appreciate your ability to think about your profit margins. I watch certain resellers who buy items for $5.99, only to sell them for $12-$15. That doesn't seem very cost or time effective to me. xo

[@Bassingal]

I am a first time ever shopper on the Goodwill website, and I had NO IDEA they were AUCTIONING!!! You have to BET on items; almost nothing is just for sale. I fell for it, and placed a bid on several things that no one else had bid on, and within hours, others were placing bids against me under secret names and secret bids!!! I had no idea that it was that kind of business on their website. DO NOT GET ENTANGLED- I suspect people are driving up bids on purpose, if you know what I mean.
