Goodwill Prices continue to RISE! |Let's buy from FLEA MARKETS for resale!! | ship with me

[@amyhamilton2201]

Karen, you improve my thrifting 100% each video. I love listening to you and watching you. Delightful!!

[@podrosie5059]

Karen, you are such an inspiration in many ways. Not only your reselling knowledge but all the other things you share are wonderful. I love seeing your home, the remodeling, the garden and so on. You should inspire most anyone who is looking to resell or become organized, etc. You have a wonderful personality and I'm so glad I found you here. You always make my day! Thank you!

[@PKr25-R17]

And you paint your own basement floor. You are truly a renaissance woman. I hired someone to paint mine. It was just one of those things I couldn’t handle. I’m always dazzled by how organized you are and your boundless energy. You really seam to enjoy your work.That’s a bonus. Kind of like you and Roger finding one another is a bonus. 😊 so happy for you both.

[@glendasully]

Your flower garden is beautiful! I love how you keep it simple but elegant!

[@PDd-ji3qh]

Prices have gone way up because the thrift stores have learned how to look up the value of something & sale for a higher price. In my area where there are fewer stores; prices have unfortunately skyrocketed starting in the $ thirties taking the fun out of thrifting for your home. This is why I so enjoy this channel. The many many different places you take us & the thrill of a great find…plus your willingness to share your knowledge & good business sense & your personal happiness. Your genuine kindness & humor comes through naturally. Your a joy to watch, like sharing a moment with a friend. Thank U for all the time & effort you put into your videos. Looking forward to seeing the progress of the addition & the final decor. God’s Blessings to Your up coming wedding, also looking forward to hearing an upcoming date❣️😊

My 1st thought of the flamingo, besides "oh how beautiful", was Jeffery. Love his channels also. I love your home. So nice, can't wait to see it completed and how you decorate.

Ralph Lauren masterfully mixes textiles and furniture styles. The items you have purchased for the bedroom addition is very reminiscent of his style. I think you are right on track and it’s going to be gorgeous 💜💜💜

Love your Garden your property is beautiful.❤

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

Unfortunately, the resellers have taught the thrift stores how to look up merchandise and price it much higher than before.😢 I love how your garden is turning out to be so lovely, in spite of the workmen in and out of there. Enjoying your video mix. ❤

[@darlenes1222]

I volunteer for a non-profit that has several thrift outlets. With all the resellers buyer and flipping from them they have encouraged their managers at each store to compare pricing, still allow some wiggle room for their large reseller base but consider increases within reason for their little stores. Example given was if a reseller buys for $1, sells for $20, why should they not reap benefits by increasing their pricing. Due to this new environment us that buy for our own personal use will pay more, but still hopefully a deal that beats buying retail.

[@bobbinoethlich3035]

Your garden is absolutely beautiful. Please keep showing us as new things bloom (also your fence row in your back yard; I remember you showing us some of it last year which made my mind up to add spiderwort to my own garden...which I am now enjoying! As always, thanks so much, Karen, for sharing your addition updates and flowers with us! Those are certainly bonuses to your thrifting and resale business! 😊🌹🌻🌺

My husband is a decoy carver (has done some competition pieces). Decoys are often carve from many different pieces because of the grain of the wood. One piece would not be as strong etc. He does “shooting” decoys and decorative. Each competition and style have their own rules. 🦆🦆🦆Anyway that has been my experience 💕

[@KLeonardM]

Another great video Karen. Love your garden. Would love to see it all in bloom.....

[@ale7564]

Liriope is easy to divide and spread. Your hostas look ready to divide and spread next spring, also. Unify the various styles in your bedroom through a consistent color palette. Consider 2 color palettes, one for warm months, one for cold months. For example, the earthy brown of your new pillow covers with earthy green and/or blue for summer and earthy brown and orange, red for winter. Love your garden.

[@brianhenry2385]

A video of Roger’s current set up for inventory, storage control and his shipping area would be interesting, to see it in contrast to yours, before the upcoming business cohabitation.

[@patriciarobinson5909]

Yes I use motion sensor lights on the outside of my cottage. Lights up when I come home in the dark. Love them!

[@phillymouse2033]

Yes, you are correct. Jeffrey from Real Nifty Vintage has a real passion for anything with flamingoes on them. Of all those who resellers I watch here on KZbin, you are the nicest person of all of them. You are always polite to all the sellers and never make disparaging comments or make them feel like you are doing them a favor by buying their items. I wish you much success in your endeavors.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks so much Philly Mouse! 💜

[@moladhdodhia164]

It would be a blast to see Karen and Jeffrey do a live auction together like Barb does with him,I would watch every minute of it,I would love to see Karen have access to those estate sales Jeff has,way to far to travel.

[@sally1761]

Hi Karen, love your videos, so relaxing! For thrifting down here in Tasmania, Australia we have 'Vinnies' (St Vincent de Paul), 'Lifeline', 'Cancer Foundation' and many others. It's good because if prices are too high in one thrift shop, people can always go to a different thrift shop. I've picked up some bargains for my home and it seems that whatever I'm looking for, magically appears in a thrift shop when I need it 🙂

[@bobbinoethlich3035]

The yellow wear bowls next to the unusual pottery piece at 12:00 were great!

[@memphis2375]

When the CEO of a corporation makes over a million dollars a year you know there is a problem. NO more GOODWILL.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Do you think that most CEOs make make over a million dollars a year? I think it’s very common now a days 😊

[@lexyabby278]

Surprised it's not a little more. It's a big company.

[@lolitabonita08]

exactly....

[@patriciakromrei5466]

That is why I don't donate my change anymore because they get that as a tax write off from our donations.

[@Angieski0511]

I agree about Goodwill prices, however what is the difference in what a reseller doing? They buy cheap and sell much higher. It’s the same and the reseller has much lower overhead than Goodwill. The increase in minimum wage in many states have caused prices everywhere to rise as well as gas, rent etc. remember Goodwill is a business. They have disguised themselves all these years and now we are finding out what they are really about.

I’ve had the table & chairs 43 years and I still love them. I have a new cream sofa w/a button tufted back. Crazy mix but I love it. 😊

Hi Karen, I’m sure Roger knows about Redline hot wheels, rarer ones can sell for up to 5 grand. Once in a while in your videos I’ll see hot wheels, can’t tell if they’re the reds but keep and eye out. The tires will have a red trim around the tires. My biggest car find was a few yrs ago at a yard sale There was a 1967 Hot Wheels Redline Custom Camaro Gold that was in a box of cars for $25 that one car sold for $ 718.00 eBay ( 50 bids) it was exciting lol. There was a couple of scratches on the paint, better condition would of sent price in 4 figures for sure. I know cars aren’t your forte but you just never know right? Another great video, thanks again and hi to Roger. 😊

[@maureenmarcil7786]

As a reseller I have spent a fortune in and now I refuse to pay their ridiculous prices, unless it's something for myself that is reasonably overpriced for Goodwill. And yes it is garage sale season estate sale season and flea market season where the prices are ridiculously good.❤ Maybe Goodwill will learn a lesson

[@kathyaldridge7171]

Our local Salvation Army Thrift Store is more expensive than Goodwill. Example: Dresses : Salvation Army $10.00 ; Goodwill $4.99.

[@songbirdmahb]

Goodwill has the highest prices where i live. And hetti g higher than new prices. So wrong. They are not charitable. Maybe we need to stop donating to them! And then they will get the idea!

I just closed my shop and I have thousands of pieces of clothing. The minute I posted a vintage beaded st.john suit, I got offers left and right, likes like crazy and within a day I sold it for 500, I had listed it for 595 which was cheap based on what they sell them for on Poshmark but I was more than happy with 500. I bought all of these in Goodwill two years ago when the prices were normal and probably paid $10. I have other skirt sets up there for 395 495 right now.
