[@TheMistressTLF]

I always appreciate your attitude about maintaining your boundaries - personal and business! You are kind, but firm, and that's wonderful.

[@misslannie73]

I really wish people would mind their business! You are a grown ass woman! Karen is more put together and successful than most of us could ever dream of. Chill people. Take care darling and hello to Roger xx

[@cherieamourofficial]

Amen! Well said.

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

I haven’t watched the video yet but I already know everything you’ve said is true and thank you!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I couldn’t have said it better myself! I don’t think I could have a KZbin channel. I couldn’t be as nice as Karen when addressing the people who have nothing better to do than criticize others.

[@annaking9213]

We all as resale buyer’s and sellers sale from each other. The seller gets the price they ask for it, so it’s a win for each person.

[@vlrissolo]

You may make it worse with nasty comebacks. She IS a grown woman taking care of herself. No sense pouring fuel on the fire. It comes off so hostile. Peace out ...your concern doesn't go unnoticed ❤

[@jonimosteller8946]

Those Nay sayers will always be there 😞don’t ever feel like you have to answer. Those people need attention , don’t give it to them . I enjoy how together you are . Happy Valentines Day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@user-hw7od4mh3l]

When I'm in an over priced GW it always gives me great pleasure to find something awesome for cheap that they missed! Like the glassy baby I found for $2 - turns out it is a retired rare one. That's my way of feeling better! 😁

[@constancerobinson1377]

Woohoo you get better every time you thrift.

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

Happy first Valentine’s as a married couple!! ❤❤ Oh and anyone new, Karen is not going to sugar coat anything for anyone lol Love it!!

[@thriftiegirltreasures]

I wish I could be like Karen. She is the reason I started reselling. I binged watched her videos and started my business. My inventory is based on her inventory just a smaller amount lol. Keep up the GREAT work Karen and Roger. Wishing you two a Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!!

[@reneeprice2966]

Are you happy reselling! I’m in CA and the prices are very high, but I’d love reselling…if I could make an adequate profit!😊

[@thriftiegirltreasures]

@@reneeprice2966 Hello. Yes I’m very happy. I wish I could make enough to sell full time. I know about the high prices. Texas is raising prices every week. I shop GW bins now.

[@rockreader4298]

Karen, you're the best. You're sun-shiny, even when you're feisty. Gotta set people straight sometimes. You and Roger are the image of what love and life is. Happy Valentines Day!

[@lisathrash7047]

Don’t even waste your breath Karen you are awesome !!! Obviously you wear your seat belt but people need to shut up and appreciate all the knowledge that you and Roger share.

[@christineprescott2417]

I think it is inevitable we run into bossy or know-it-all types of people. You really put yourself out here on KZbin and I give you such credit. I am a sensitive person and would be bothered by the comments, for sure. Especially if someone makes an untrue or unjustified comment...I admire your tact and kindness. You handled that with class. Happy Valentine's Day to you and Roger ❤!

[@modawg1111]

I’ll leave a nice comment. Roger has the most beautiful light blue eyes ! Happy Valentines Day Love Birds ! 😘🥰💕🤙

[@loretta7851]

This is your channel you have a right to express your feelings honestly and you are always kind about how you say things and very mindful not to hurt feelings so people should be the same way with you

[@bethhopkins4277]

sorry people are unkind. You remain my favorite reseller because i learn from every post, you are consistently positive, your voice is calming, and you and Roger are adorable. I look forward to seeing you every week.

[@Done832]

I can understand why someone would make a remark about buying from other dealers but the truth is, the other dealers are making a sale and that's a good thing. Making sales in antique booths with so much competition is not always easy so I would be happy. I wear my seatbelt but I will tell you a story about my father. Back in the day, before seatbelts, he was driving a truck and had a wreck. He said if he had on a seatbelt he wouldn't have fallen over which prevented the steering wheel from crushing his chest! He was always leary about wearing them. I still maintain antique booths can be a cut throat business. The longer you do it, the more you learn. You have to be tough and actually in the antique world, you have to be tough regardless. Everyone wants the sale. The rent has to be paid and then you want profit. The items you sell in your booth seem to be a little different from the usual antique booth. When I had one, the items "had to be" antique. Nothing new. It seems as though you can just have vintage and not antique which makes probably for an easier sale. One thing I would be careful with is anything a person could wear like a pocket book or hat. Believe it or not, a person will just put them on and out the door they will go. I still maintain it's a lot of competition and there will be good months and not so good months. With the money you make on You Tube and Reselling from the thrift store, I still think you will come out ahead. 50 items to mail!! You should be doing very well. Good for the two of you!

[@CherilynReynolds]

Good for you Karen, for calling out the ridiculous commenters.

[@billypalmer9352]

Karen and Roger equals a class act!!!!

[@mining4goldmeister420]

I watch Salvage Hunters with Drew Pritchard(?) and a large % of his goods come from other dealers, and they know he is buying for resale!! Flea markets work on the same principle as indoor antique malls - the difference is the booths are outdoors. You are buying from other dealers for resale. American Pickers TV Series - same. Just the nature of the beast. It is how the resale business works and anybody that does it for a living knows that. I had a massive garage sale when I moved from Long Island to Pennsylvania. Stuff I had been buying at garage sales all my life - vintage, antiques. I knew there were going to be lots of dealers there so I marked thing high enough where I made a profit and low enough that they could make money, too. Truthfully, don't even respond to comments that are a bit snarky or too "in your face". If you want to drive with no seatbelt, blindfolded, going the wrong way down a one way street - that is your choice and your business. Your content is great, you and Roger are decent, honorable people - enough said.

[@maryoconnell3857]

I have never had a coffee in 64 years!! Just hot and cold tea! Roger, you are a brave man!!

[@rockymountainreseller3858]

Always amazing to me what people think is their business. If you want to go without a seat belt, wear underwear on your head, use a paper sack as a purse or whatever, it isn't anyone's business. I have several friends that have you tube channels and I'm shocked at the things that people say! One of my reseller friends buys all his inventory from Walmart and Target, Dollar Tree and Costco. He's doing quite well, but occasionally someone comes out of the woodwork and tells him how awful he is for taking things away from those who need the discounted items.

[@cyndiparker4064]

Can't believe people complain. I'm like Roger, I am 68 and have had only a sip of coffee. Tea for me. Love you guys. Happy Valentine's to you and Roger.

[@Grace2010H]

The split oak basket you found is lovely! 🥰

[@tlane8618]

Don't do it Roger! I'm 59, didn't drink a coffee til five years ago, and now I can't go without one a day. It's sneaky!

[@chitracoulton7926]

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY Karen and Roger, I love you both guys, I am in Toronto, before Covid 19 we used to drive to Pennsylvania every summer, that time I did; not know you, God willing if We drive this summer I will definitely visit your booth ,

[@adrianasims6818]

Remember, when people talk about you; is because you are doing wonderful!!! And they can’t handle feel envy greeeeeeen 😊🥰

[@laurabarker2233]

My mom always said when someone talks about you, they're leaving someone else alone.

[@realestateispersonal]

Karen you have been such an inspiration to me! I watch every single one of your videos from beginning to end. You inspired me to start selling on eBay and I even started renting a shelving unit at an antique mall so I could sell there as well. You are so knowledgeable and I have learned so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and reselling wisdom with us on KZbin! Don’t change a thing! It works! Alison from Ohio!

[@user-eh7qm1lh4w]

You are VERY knowledgeable and I enjoy your “speaking about things when you don’t know what you’re talking about.” 😊 I chuckle out loud sometimes. Your shopping videos are my favorite. You make my heart happy! Thank you.

[@AlcalaFarms]

Happy Valentine's Day to Karen and Roger! Thank you for another great video😘❤🥗🥗

[@lindamaclellan4899]

Some people need to learn the adage: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." But some people never learn! That antique basket from the first stop is a terrific find! You have a great eye Karen! I believe that item will bring you a huge and well-deserved profit. Happy Valentine's Day to you and your sweet guy!

[@Joni-ux5rf]

My husband is 56 and I’m 59 neither one of us have ever drank coffee 🤢 we tell everyone we are to young to drink coffee 😂😂😂

[@alfa5243]

I can’t believe you found that oak basket. Someone didn’t realize what they had when cleaning out grandma’s house. Sue Winget is also is a fabric designer. It certainly is a basket kind of day. Do we love a good basket? Yes we do.

[@cassandramoore9556]

I think you are the best ❤ Keep on keeping on!!

[@rosygreen7]

Scanpan is a premium brand of cookware made in Denmark. My brother bought me a large frypan for a wedding gift 35 years ago and it is still my favourite pan. Hubby has been bringing me a morning coffee in bed since forever. I can’t start the day without it. Nothing better than a decent quality brewed coffee. Gosh think of all the $ Roger has saved over the years on coffee. It’s very popular here in Australia where we are renowned for some of the best coffee cafes. Love your videos. I have watched every episode of yours and also your daughter Mellissa. She is a credit to you.❤❤❤

[@goodwillbunny5773]

I so look forward to your videos! They are informative and your voice is relaxing. Thank you so much.

[@susanwelch2237]

Happy Valentine’s Day you too!!!!! Love you guys!

[@mottemerch]

Thanks again for a great video. I look forward to them each week!

[@AClark-bq6oc]

Yay Roger; great to have coffee!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁😁😁😁

[@Rebecca-ie8xy]

Thank you again for such great content, love to see a couple thrifting together. Wonderful.

[@Paulsofsteel]

Karen, I 've learned so much from you. Keep on shining!

[@user-jb1qw7im5w]

Karen... you are the best! My favorite youtube reseller. Never change. ❤

[@lvallese3967]

lol, I grew up being a tea drinker. My neighbour became my "other mother" got me drinking coffee in my teens. Then I went back to tea until I purchased a coffee kiosk in 1999. I am now a total coffee drinker in my 60's. Starbucks is fun but I a so cheap I won't spend 7 for a fancy coffee now. lol. Can I just say again that you and Roger are my favourite people to listen to. I love your channel and think what you do is so much work. Shop on!!!

[@stj971]

Doesn't anyone make their own coffee anymore? I make my own and it's the best. Starbucks is an expensive hype and a rip off.

[@carolyn8033]

Love that small dark basket as well as that medium sized one with handle. Such beautiful workmanship.

[@catherinewhitman8333]

I had an orange vw beetle with floor mats like that in the late 70's.....LOVED THAT LITTLE BUG!!!!❤ 🐞

[@victoriajohnson5304]

YOU BOTH INSPIRE MY SOUL!❤ 🌻🌻💖🌞💖🌻🌻

[@rachelsaelid6081]

The gathering basket is so good!

[@DotRobdau]

Happy Valentines Day, Karen and Roger ❤ so cute that Roger had his first coffee ever ! He would do anything for his love. I like the baskets, and it's almost Easter again. Karen, you found another old New England basket, looks very well made. I so enjoy your videos every Sunday and Wednesday . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-km8px9qk9t]

Wishing you both a very Happy first Valentines Day ❤Enjoy

[@kellytew107]

Happy Valentine’s Day to you, Karen and Roger!!❤ I got to go thrifting today and I was channeling Karen and lo and behold they brought out a ceramic Christmas tree, I’ve been looking for one for a long time! I got it, it’s a medium sized one but that’s ok, I love it!! ❤❤❤

[@bonnierobbins3572]

Karen you're the best! I just love you and Roger. You're very professional, smart, funny, and so organized. I love how you just get to the point and nip it in the bud and back to business. I also have a booth, and other vendors buy from me all the time and resale the items. Sometimes, I see those things in their booth. I don't ever get upset. I'm happy for them. We buy from each other. It's the name of the game. It is theirs to do whatever they want. I got my money and they got theirs so everybody is happy.

[@nellstreasurebox]

Your videos always make my day better! Thank you!

[@lovinglifefreely]

I hadn't had coffee for over 48 years, got a really early morning job about 5 years ago & started to drink it to wake up. My husband has always drank coffee, now I make it for my husband & I every morning. We cook popcorn in a pot too😀

[@barbaraschultz9586]

Wow his first coffee! ☕️ He is so handsome!

[@user-km8px9qk9t]

Wishing you both a very Happy Valentines ❤Day Enjoy

[@karenbomar5074]

From one Karen to another just wamt to say Thanks for sharing all your adventures. You make thrifting and reselling fun and interesting. The stock you have in your home is so great and organized. Keep up the great work Karen. Your good will has lots of valuable and cool stuff Karen.

[@marthajenkins46]

Thanks for the “rant & rave!”Time to set ‘um straight! In my antique/vintage mall we can’t buy in one booth & sell in ours, but certainly sell elsewhere. Have learned so much from you & Roger! 😊

[@nedracrouse8125]

Happy Valentine's Day to you both. Always enjoy your videos.

[@heatherhoffman9719]

Woop Woop Roger had his first coffee!!! No turning back now!

[@carollee6963]

That basket was a great find! I think the car mats are too!

[@bjohnson1149]

Those little boiled wool mice are adorable! And that basket is everything!!!

[@cindytalwar8438]

Congratulations on your first coffee, Roger! The egg gathering basket is just gorgeous Karen! A real work of art 🥰

[@terryshaw3493]

Love you Karen and Roger. No need for silly pettiness. Good for you for addressing it. You go girl!

[@roadtripperthrifter]

Your videos are very informative and I’ve learned so much from you. I’ve learned how to leave stuff on the shelf and be more selective. You Rock! Say hello to Roger-he’s cool! Happy Valentines Day to both of you ❤

[@aemlife7516]

You know your baskets,wow!

[@annedublin3225]

[@karenkelly961]

Great video. I am an antique dealer with a booth and I LOVE it when other dealers buy from me!

[@debbiestott3651]

Great basket Karen, what a find, and the car mays are fab. X

[@peacenow4456]

Love your hair and you! Lovely, fresh, I so love the pride you take in your appearance. That caffeine hadn't hit Rog yet...

[@sentimentsbysue8438]

I had a booth years ago, and we all bought from each other to sell at a profit! eBay was new, but several of the booth renters were starting to sell on it also. They could buy merchandise at a booth and resell for more money on eBay. We were both making a profit as the items in my booth were garage sale and estate sale items, and I was thrilled that they sold!

[@joanna9242]

I love Roger, he can't be bothered with any of the gossip. You lucky lady. 😀

[@vlrissolo]

Also, our hair color fades and as we age it looks lighter (usually in the front first) because most of us are Grey in our 60s. My auburn hair color is naturally highlighted around my face after about 2 weeks from the application or sometimes immediately after a retouch if I'm in a hurry.. Personally, I stopped highlighting it because it so quickly does this itself!... I am a hairstylist btw....

[@HollyGeee]

Fun day Karen, love watching you and Roger while I have my morning coffee. ☕🩷

[@user-ny3hq9bn1i]

Roger's first coffee? How adorable!

[@janetjackson9549]

Loved that egg basket!!

[@lindaroseboro2343]

People today are just so rude and have nothing else to do but critize others because they aren't happy and or just plain envious of your life. I'm just keeping it real. Love following you!!😊❤

[@sharongates6142]

Congratulations Roger on your 1st cup of coffee

[@bonzojenks303]

Love the belt buckle

[@Kentuckygardengal]

Hey, you are the reason I started selling on EBay and I love it. Thank you for ALL you have taught me, your willingness to share your business practices is much appreciated. I’m on social media and this is my view on “naysayers”. People have a tendency to look at things only from their perspective. Sometimes it’s extremely narrow and often times they may be projecting. Wish them well and move on.

[@brendawhitt1964]

Enjoyed ❤

[@barbmullane-ou6vx]

Roger is adorable😊. The coffee😂😂😂

[@eliciaburton4862]

Hey Karen, I've been watching you for years now. I just love your station, information and you and Roger together. I buy from you sometimes too. I'm just saying, sending you lots of love on Valentine's day! Seatbelts, lol...let's have fun!😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@dpaulson512]

Oh I would have LOVED that Rhythm clock!!!!

[@DontWorryBHappy1988]

Caramel ribbon crunch from Starbucks. My favorite!!

[@joansheppard6576]

I make baskets and that was a really good find.
