Goodwill Thrifting to Ebay ....My Online reselling LIFE

The hunt is real! I spend hours and hours each week, combing through thrift stores, estate sales, auctions & flea markets ... to bring home the goods and prepare them for selling in my Ebay store, and on Facebook Marketplace, which fully supports me.

We are the couple that met you from Texas after taking a 14 hour drive just to meet you and shop in your Goodwills. Meeting you was the highlight of my trip and thanks for taking a picture with me. I also got a picture with RODGER 🙌🙌🙌

[@leisahammonds4479]

The way she does her videos are just fine. Better than fine.

[@sbell571]

I am also from Texas and was in Lancaster yesterday; stopped at GW on Roherstown Rd. No Karen or Roger😢

[@eldermillennial2000]

oh wow ur so lucky! I'm also in Texas. I would've joined u! LOL

[@peppiholliday4525]

I still hit the thumbs up before even starting the video because I know it will always be great. This was a great video where you combine the shopping and the pulling of items and it was a longer version which we absolutely love. Keep up the good work

[@bobbiellison4315]

I'm heartbroken you left toasty notes behind. That thing is too cute. I want one!

[@Thritingismysport]

I was thinking the same thing !!

[@jenniferashfield8066]

I vote that it’s a basket made to hoist your dog up to the treehouse!

[@karenkuhr5698]

Ha ha ha ha ha.. good one, jennifer

[@BeMoreCoolStuff-te2ow]

The wood almost looks oak. The planter thing reminds me of something someone would use to transport things to their tree house 😂

[@user-sp8gg6ji6t]

I would LOVE it if my husband liked to shop like Roger. You're very lucky!

[@annawalker4225]

Same here. My husband wants me to get rid of ALL of my stuff by April 2024. He’s retiring then and wants to be able to travel and doesn’t want me to be looking at my phone and worrying about getting home to ship something out. He always thought I was too stupid to do this reselling business anyway.

[@HannahBMann]

The toast-note segment was hilarious.

[@Willsthriftingadventures]

Well that was a odd find, looks kinda uncomfortable as a swing!? But looks odd as a planter also lol 😆

[@user-sp8gg6ji6t]

Your husband is so knowledgeable about so many things. I just learned how to tell a real Tommy Bahama shirt from a fake. Ya'll make a great team together!

[@bobbiellison4315]

I used to source like Roger. Mainly mens golf/ sporty and casual clothes. Lots of tommy Bahama. Great sellers. Can't wait to get started again.

[@cherylcaster6531]

I think you are better off without a booth. You have a great setup at home. Booth involves tagging, loading, moving, traveling, rearranging, cleaning, etc. and time away from home.

[@angelidonatone3703]

I got married in 2000 and Waterford came out with the Champagne toasting flutes in 1999 to celebrate the Millenium. They produced peace, love, health, happiness and prosperity. My mom and I were at an event where one of the Waterford artists was signing them at the Bon Marche. My parents purchased the Love set for my wedding. The marriage didn't last, but my Waterford did! Great find!

[@debbiewheeler4432]

You and Roger are the cutest couple! I really enjoy all the video's.

[@peacenow4456]

Love, don't put scratchy things on your Mary wood box!

[@aprilwillier9610]

Hi Karen, we would watch you fold clothes, bag & bin items because we love everything we do. Yes we do 🇨🇦❤️

[@brendaclement5081]

So very right

[@inesspanni]

I learn so much watching all the things you do to buy, organize, store & sell your inventory!!! Your a classroom for all us budding resellers! Thank you!!❤

[@lauriedahms3964]

Planter and glad you left it.

[@reneeprice2966]

Well, for me, I’m over the spending a good potion of video time just watching you get your work at home done. What made you very “unique” and interesting to many of us is the fact we learned so much, going place to place listening to your thinking for purchases made. Also, a big stand out from other resellers on KZbin was, that your videos were substantially longer to watch. I feel like now it’s time mainly spent seeing your haul or time in your basement. I have it all memorized where you keep “hard goods”, why the coats are on the rounders and on and on. I really love you and have always truly loved your channel…I just wish you’d only “pull your inventory “ with us once a month. Thank you❤

[@pinadevos]

I agree. I love your video’s but always skip the pulling of items and the haul parts. Not interested in that. But everyone is different. In my opinion the shopping is the best part, does not matter where you do it and with or without Roger. All good. 🤗

[@sentimentsbysue8438]

Oh my gosh! The ToastyNote was too much! Best laugh of the day!

[@faribajavaherpour710]

I love you and your husband He seems such a nice guy and you’re a great fit

[@glendasully]

I really enjoyed this video. I like how you split up the shopping & pulling into one video. I would not trust my baby nor my plant in that draconian wooden hanging thing! So happy you put it back!

[@karenkuhr5698]

That description is perfect!

[@mariaroldan4200]

This kind of video are my favorite! I am still new at this, about a year into my selling “career” I have sold about 200 ++ items on eBay and 20+ on other platforms. I learned a lot from KZbinrs, but you are my favorite teacher/mentor! ❤

[@lavenderclothesline]

That is awesome! Thank you !

[@organizersrus]

Your husband is adorable as are you! ❤ The two of you TOGETHER are adorable! ❤

[@heatherhoffman9719]

Don't worry about the name of jewelry box it can be ground off and an piece of inlay can be added. Good move to return the baby/plant hanger to the shelf! Score on the Waterford!

[@Janpre2001]

Roger is a riot! He looks so quiet but his silly side is there! Congrats and much happiness!

[@pattihuesken9583]

Ok, my vote is…I agree with you putting it back. For whatever purpose it’s designed for. 😂

[@tylerandbellastoys6868]

Agreed!

[@user-wh8ri1uu3x]

Planter and it was pretty ugly

[@barbaraklee5655]

I’m guessing the "Mary" box was handmade. My dad has made several of these for our family.❤

[@ale7564]

Baby swing. Too damaged. The Mary box is actually a great baby gift for a person named Mary. That’s a keep-it-your-entire- life box.

[@zanneizzo8113]

I can totally see how you adore Roger. His playing with the note toaster was sooo fun to watch.

[@AurorasJournals]

I just love you guys ❤ I spotted a fake piece of art glass by the little imperfections. Thank you both for passing on your knowledge and experience ❤

[@marthajenkins46]

Good thing you left that awful swing/planter thing behind! 😂

[@vanessaherron4798]

He’s so shy, I often wonder how the first weeks and months in the thrift store went and you too realized your attraction, meaning him. Lol You are both adorable 💗💗💗 My husband probably had the largest collection of Tommy Bahama shirts I’ve ever seen. When he passed they all went to his brother, but there fantastic🌻🌻🌻

[@lavenderclothesline]

He talked my ears of hahaha....He's not really shy in real life - just on camera

[@inesspanni]

Sorry for your loss!

[@vanessaherron4798]

@@lavenderclothesline that’s hilarious, so you never know what you see isn’t what you get. Lol your both adorable 🌻

[@Snoops510]

Those Waterford toasting flutes are gorgeous and could be advertised as "wedding" and "Bride and Groom". People will pay up for nice things for a wedding. And at the other end of the spectrum, those toasty notes would make an adorable gift. And, that gorgeous cigar ashtray. I enjoy your "sold" items packing too, Karen. Very enjoyable!

[@LibbiM]

I love watching you and Roger in videos together ❤️ I learn twice as much!! 😂😂

[@susanmulvey6311]

I like that you don’t say what you paid for something, and then say what you sell it for. I don’t know why, except I think people feel they got a real deal if not hearing your original buying price. Don’t get me wrong, we all get great deals from you, you are definitely doing a great service for us who want something, and get it for a sweet price! Always happy to see you and Roger shopping together!!

[@peggyr2984]

I scored my Waterford crystal bowl at Goodwill. I was so stoked.

[@earleendoute492]

I have 8 Waterford wine glasses that I bought at my local Salvation Army. they were tagged at 2 dollars each...Amazing buy..

[@peggyr2984]

Yes! @@earleendoute492

[@maureenmarcil7786]

You need to go get that toasty notes to put in his stocking for Christmas!! Can I tell you I hit the jackpot at my Goodwill yesterday. I got three vintage t-shirts for 2.99 each. One is worth anywhere from six to eight hundred, another John Lennon worth about 250 and a Gandhi also worth about 200. Then I found a gorgeous gown that retails for 4000 and I paid $12.99. two vintage faux furs for $20 each and I already sold one this morning for $150. And a cartload of other things. Had such a great day finally. Their prices are totally out of control on most things so I did get very lucky. But I was there the entire day..lol

[@sheilahackney6214]

I'd like to see how you package and protect and label your items to ship out! Do you have to weigh each box etc. I think it would be very interesting and informative. Love your videos ❤

[@mariemathews7794]

I vote for: glad you left it on the shelf!

[@user-hr3tx6uu9o]

Love blue and white dishes, vases, and on and on!

[@nrivera4380]

I think that "planter" basket is used on a pulley like in a barn or similar. Roger with the toasty notes was so funny! Love that Petite chose wreath!

[@erinmyles213]

Those are probably where the wood is joined. Bent wood joined together. Love love the Waterford champagne goblets, the pattern especially!

[@petesnyder6281]

Good choice on leaving the planter behind.

[@pattihuesken9583]

Karen, have you and Roger ever considered having an electrician in to change the lighting in your basement to fluorescent lighting. My husband and I did that a few years ago in our barn to brighten up the dark corners and it made a huge difference. Like daylight in there now. You can get different colours and a type of diffuser now to make it easy on the eyes. I remember the invoice from the electrician wasn’t huge. You might like that change. ♥️

[@GrandmasGonnaFlip]

Wow the comps on those Toasting Flutes shocked me. way to go girl! The toast notes were so fun.

[@petesnyder6281]

I would have bought the Toasty Notes just for a few laughs if nothing else. LOL

[@ricochetkitty7215]

The brown color was called copper tone and that’s the color we had in my kitchen in NJ!

[@madithomas5699]

I want the blue and white bowls

[@johnandersen8998]

The maker of the German porcelain tray is pronounced “by-royt”. Bayreuth. Nice piece

Looks like you two are humming along! Great buys!

Hi Karen - for the crystal looking votive shade at 6:15, if you shine a black light on it and it glows, then it is lucite. Cheers, Katia

[@mariaroldan4200]

It has my name as well, but I spell it Mery.

[@kimkuks6370]

that jewelry box makes me want to change my name to Mary! Get $100 if you can. Phenomenal piece.

[@vlrissolo]

If it were me I would definitely build a shed out back to store your inventory. There's nothing like the convenience of being able to stay on your property and do you work! If it were entirely dedicated to inventory you would have an awful lot of space places like Home Depot and Lowe's have ready-to-assemble sheds in all different types of materials

[@vlrissolo]

Karen makes it look easy and fun❤

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

Hello Karen 👋 you probably should have brought that toaster note home just for giggles. And on a quiet day, surprise your husband; he was having fun with it,haha. I enjoy how you split the video. My faves was the Kosta boda glass bowl. ❤️

[@michelleraney3577]

The brown color in the 70's was called "Coppertone." Those were the days, weren't they?

[@conme2231]

Roger is such a sweetie, but then so are you which is why the two of you make such a great couple! P.S. I wish my name was Mary

Just found your channel a week or so ago and have been binge watching you! I have been a part time reseller for almost 10 years now and love learning about new brands/items etc. I am like you and believe that the more variety you sell and know about the better. You have taught me about some items that I didn't know about previously (never too old to learn).You and Roger are so sweet and I look forward to your videos so much.

[@lauraandmert]

Ohhhhh, my LOVED this video on so many levels, the shopping trip, the shipping out orders always love watching what you are shipping out despite what a another person said, I love to see what you are shipping out and would be disappointed to see it go to only once a month, we learn so MUCH from the shipping out and the shopping of items and I gotta say HURRYYYY RUN back to that thriftstore where that toaster that shoots out paper is,(with all the JOY & DELIGHT and GIGGLES we all got watching Rodger enjoy that I KNOW that needs to go in his stocking at christmas for a stocking for a stocking stuffer,) that toaster was EVERYTHING!!! And in true Karen fashion 'Do we LOVE a good toaster that shoots out paper, and makes us all giggle and brings you both JOY and giggles, YESSSSS we do...'' its a great stocking stuffer, plus filming the look on his face Christmas morning would be EPIC...(and who knows, it would be a great honey do list paper or GREAT date night ideas each of yous could write out and then the other needs to SHOOT out the toast paper for that nights special date night, lol like I said that toaster is EVERYTHING brought you two both to much joy and giggles not to get it....Hope to see it again...Smiles...Thanks again for all the hard work you both do in helping educate us all,you all are doing AWESOME and a GREAT JOB and we all appreciate it more than words can tell, all of it is FUN to watch and learn from.

Karen: a word of caution to be careful when you take the Goodwill price stitcher off the Joan Baker stained glass. I had one that was put on the paint, when I pulled it off, it took the paint along with it. Hopefully yours has the sticker on the opposite side.

[@user-wk5wd3oz2v]

Use a blow dryer to heat up the sticker it will soften the adhesive on the back and it will come off easy.

[@VillmontMarket]

I love that you did hard good and clothing solds separately. That allows us to watch one or both. I’m not a clothing seller so appreciated being able to skip through that part.
