I would think the manager would gladly honor your request, you are an extremely loyal customer and buy cart loads of items consistently. Very short sighted on the manager’s part. I’m thinking the cost of similar buttons and the time to sew them on would have given this beautiful jacket new life. Like you said You can’t Save Everything. Great finds as always! Love your videos! ❤❤

[@bjohnson1149]

Holes or no holes, I'm glad you took that basket home. There's no way I'd sell it. There are so many places that basket could go. It's a work of art. If I didn't do anything but sit it in a corner I'd take it home. The laundry basket is wonderful. The blue and white is an oriental footbath but it isn't flow blue. $19.99 is a steal. I have that same footbath. It's not valuable but it's very pretty for those of us who love blue and white pottery. "Be Still" is from the Scriptures: "Be still and know that I am God..."

[@peppiholliday4525]

Yay, I see that you did buy it by the comments good for you

[@anitahaviland3036]

That basket could hold anything from kindling to toilet paper, guest towels. The planter is incredible!!! I would buy it in a hot second! Good haul!

[@sharonjett449]

I would love to buy this basket! Would you consider shipping. I collect “buttocks” baskets.

[@deanna8217]

@@sharonjett449 Buttocks? Looked like something else to me. 🤣

[@lanna7917]

@@sharonjett449 Me too I had a job for asap! Oh well she made the decision that was best for her though. Probably not shippable anyway 🙁 "butt" it was a pretty epic basket. 🤣😊 Looks like I spoke too soon she did buy it but not shippable boo boo!

[@nanwood59]

Not only would I grab that basket, but I would keep it. Line the bottom with an old burlap sack, quilted piece or wool blanket, & the possibilities are endless! Plants,yarn, books, vintage toys,… On the porch at xmas with tiny lights, greenery, red winter berries & cones… On & On

Yep, Love her organizational skills and unique finds, and big profit items....and new addition etc. Watch every Wednesday and Sunday.

[@leopardspotsmusic]

The basket had such charming characteristics, holes only help tell it's story, I'd buy in a heartbeat! Amazing pieces!

[@TheTuesday11]

💕💕💕💕💕Those are spurs not stirrups. They go on your boots when riding.

[@debbieflansaas5599]

I do believe that the manager of whatever goodwill should be able to discount things.

[@hiyellagal]

I think so too.

[@cosmic_drifter_007]

Definitely think managers should be able to offer discounts on items that requires fixing!!

[@charmonymurray3893]

Absolutely. So much goes into the landfill. They should just get rid of it 🙄.

[@bunchielove6893]

There is a Goodwill I go to and the cashier just make up a price even if it's priced. Some of them think those items are overpriced.

[@joycekoyama7959]

If Goodwill's mission truly is to help the community, I've often thought it would be better to have lower prices to (1) move things out to allow more sold inventory (cha-ching$$$), (2) reduce piles in landfills, and (3) consider the customer service rather than digging their heels in and demanding higher prices! Kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face, Goodwill. But Karen - you're the best and I always enjoy looking forward to and watching your adventures in Goodwill regardless. Blessings!

[@julieann5560]

Went to the comments while still watching the video and saw you bought the basket! I was so glad as I was thinking HOW CAN YOU NOT GET THAT! ❤

[@mariaroldan4200]

Ok, I have not finished the video but I a commenting on 2 things: the basket should have been a yes, the Chico’s jacket: the manager should have given you a discount, that is ridiculous! Buttons are expensive these days!

[@brendaz9222]

GW's pricing has no rhyme or reason! So many things priced crazy and they would rather throw it away than price it to sell.

[@annhinson5670]

Roger is quite the comidian! I got a good chuckle about making the popcorn in the bed warmer and LED toilet paper holder!😅. On the velvet coat you would have gotten your 15% off. Regarding the big basket you bought.... put it on your back patio and fill it with artificial greenery, that was you don't have to fuss with potting soil and watering. There are very pretty and real looking flowers and greenery at the craft stores.

[@joannnelson9847]

My husband and I think managers should lower prices if the piece is damaged!!! PS: you totally Rock!!!!

[@katherinefuechsel8747]

Absolutely - they should always consider discounting - look at how they’ve grown over the last 10/20 years

[@kellyd8776]

I am jealous of her Goodwill. Ours are lousy here where I live. I may need to venture out further.

[@afolsom685]

Hi Karen. Glad you saved the basket! It deserves better than a landfill. I'm not particularly 'into' baskets but that's a piece of art. Bedwarmers usually did have long handles. Frequently beds were pushed up against the wall due to small rooms. That necessitated long handled for the reach. And in some eras, beds were built high which also made the reach a challenge. Very practical. I know...nerd alert.🤓🤗

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

Thank you so much for showing yourself going through items and explaining why you did or didn’t pick them up. So very helpful!!!

[@brianhenry2385]

Long pole bed warmers are a real (and common) thing. The upstairs maid, in the big house, had to be able to reach to the center of the bed, in the Master's Bedroom. 🙂

[@stanmiller9117]

That basket would be beautiful in a bathroom with towels rolled in it. Those little holes are inconsequential and do not take away from its beauty. Hope you got it!

[@pford0701]

Hi Karen, the Stirrups are actually Spurs. Stirrups are part of the saddle that you put your foot into.

[@nrivera4380]

I'd buy the velvety Chico's jacket, bc to me replacing buttons is an easy fix. Love the hitched card display, Karen! It is so sweet. Re: the basket, I sold a large basket on FBMP and shipped it across country. It arrived just fine as well. Love the jardiniere too.

[@ale7564]

I’m with Roger and his popcorn scheme! If R gets you the TP color changing holder, you should get him the shower beer holder.

[@payattention31]

😂😂😂😂 I don’t think Roger drinks that much! He seems to be slim and fit!

[@ale7564]

@@payattention31 I’m sure you’re correct, but a shower beer holder falls under ridiculous bathroom accessories.

[@Deana9528]

The thing about goodwill is they have become so greedy. The prices are insane for all the DONATED items they receive. I can tell you that jacket will sit in the store until they have to pitch it to the bins. why not take a few bucks for it and make room for something new.

[@createyourbestlife]

I love how you preserved all the beautiful cards under the glass on the table! They carry beautiful energy ❤❤❤

[@sharonbruno7873]

Roger, is starting to come around. Not as shy.

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

I had to jump down to comments to see if u bought the basket! Just remember, if you super love it, the rarity of it and signed, the small imperfections usually don't matter. I found the first goodwill to be high!

[@kimpm2117]

I would keep the basket for yourself. It would look cute in your new bathroom with towels or in your new bedroom with a pretty throw in it.

[@tiffanyrussell6858]

Goodwill employees always have the authority to change a price. When they say they can't, they're lying. I know this from experience and Goodwill employees. It's rude that she wouldn't lower the price for you.😠

[@kimmounce2240]

HI, If you can't find a tag on a piece of clothes, I would check on the side seam towards the bottom. Just a thought! Love your channel.

[@spiritedsoulcollection]

Great finds. Loved the owl wall hanging, Victoria stoneware and basket. That basket is true vintage and quality. My late uncle was blind and he was the best basket weaver artisan/artist. We still have trays, baskets, prams and other items he made. Fond memories indeed. Greetings from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@MARYJ17222]

Unfortunately, I don’t shop in Goodwill or donate to them any longer for years and years. I’m huge for Salvation Army Here in Florida Goodwill prices are like shopping at Nordstrom.

Your pair of lamps are Art Glass lamps from Lowe's at around 42.00 each. I own some and I love them.

Basket for the bathroom with towels or ferns in it.

[@paulinewhiteley7908]

Hi Karen. The flow blue foot bath that you found could be a reproduction. About 25 years ago one of our local charity shops bought in a quantity of these to sell along with other flow blue items. They were made abroad somewhere and had a very similar stamp. They were brand new at the time. The clue to me was the pale blue background. Usually old ceramics have a white background with a few exceptions. There are now so many 'fakes' in antique ceramics.

[@gailc.marshall9168]

I was surprised she didn't know that was a reproduction!

[@pamelabates3356]

In Houston, Goodwill wants to charge 14.99 for a pair of heels where the inside is peeling. But then they don't recognize Italian shoes and price those much lower. 🤔

[@hannahchante]

I’ve pointed out damage to an item at the other thrift store (Salvation Army) and they agreed and gave me 50% off which I really appreciated! I think you experienced really poor customer service from Goodwill’s manager. It will probably wind up at the outlet and hopefully not the landfill.

[@ronnie4796]

Shoulda bought the basket! Many basket lovers would love as is!

[@thomascabral8443]

that is a great Hawiian shirt the disappearing pocket,, faked shirts just sew any part of fabric on front,, the best match the fabric perfectly

[@kimkirksey562]

The pink and black dress barn shirt was so cute

[@301hogan301]

The stirrups you found are actually spurs used for western style riding, I believe.

[@annettejefferson5435]

Great basket and since you love it put it in your closet for your scarves or flipflops😅

[@cyndimanka]

A couple years ago actually during Covid I was obsessed with the sheer look. I bought so many sheer tops, and I have a show or a Cami to go under every one of them that I bought. I have cream I have white I have black I have blue I have white. Do not hesitate when it comes to sheer people who wear that kind of stuff are already going to have something to wear under it. But that’s just me.

The basket is everything!!!

I'm liking it too!!! Upbeat!! N showing the prices quickly ...is cool. I used to love our SAVE8R Store, it was making great money I think not sure why it was closed, it was Big n always had great' things❗❗❗The basket likely would sell quickly wouldnt it? SOMETIMES THE LABELS of dresses are inside on the skirt part.

[@LindaFoyle]

I like to wear “slips” under dresses, or half slips for blouses…all different colors, silk, and so on, for see-through clothing, works well for beautiful clothes, or even a beautiful bra. Modern, todays style.

[@LindaFoyle]

Can the “ basket” be repaired? Or maybe the buyer can, these days, anything can be fixed, yay.

[@pamelacampen4615]

I just found your channel and I’m really enjoying it. Those two stirrups as you called them are actually spurs and they are not cheap. Hopefully you got them and can resell them because $10 is a great deal for those!

[@lh5677]

People love to display them. Was hoping someone told her they were spurs

[@jellen7332]

Omg that dress barn jacket that would of been hard and that beige green anthropologist shirt would look good on you!! I think if you did another channel on dressing to the nines (rich) with thrift clothes and find a whole outsider for less than $10 You don’t go threw every shirt/top maybe cause you have been doing it so long the high quality jumps out

[@Ireneginori]

That basket would look amazing with a beautiful cream fluffy throw coming out of it. I don’t care about the holes. ❤

[@bettiegross1767]

Yes, they should come down on their prices.

[@VivianMolinares-cq6li]

Next time you have a GOOD basket, that needs repairs, it’s usually easy-if not you can also weave some fabric strips through the holes

[@marciacarr3643]

You need to buy that stuff for your antique Booth the bed warmer and the butt basket

[@gaylemorganson2697]

You make a really good living!! It is a thrift store-- and the GOODWILL- so NO- I do NOT think you should have asked for a further discount!!

[@brendabunnell6759]

I definitely think prices should be lowered on items with damage.

[@nancystoltzfus9225]

Goodwill should do WAY better than they do. Yes I’m talking about you Lancaster. You have so many loyal customers and it doesn’t seem to matter sometimes. One time I wanted to buy two books I had in my hand and at check out we realized it didn’t have prices, they would NOT give me a price . I had to let it there , they said come back tomorrow and see if it’s on the shelf. I came back the next day and dont you think I see a lady walking around the store with my exact same books and I stalked her throughout the store hoping she changes her mind. Nope , she bought them right in front of me and walked out. I realize Some employees can’t do anything but it would be nice if they would care about their customers more. Corporate really should do better.
