people who question how much you charge for items should try following you guys around for a day. You definitely earn every dollar ❤

[@debsmith2269]

And I think there are a lot of people who don't realise that there are fees taken off every sale on eBay. Not to mention the cost of buying packing materials, shelving, racks, and/or bins for storage, camera equipment (for those resellers who do KZbin too), taxes etc, etc. The list of expenses is very long, plus you have to have enough money left over to live off of. It's also a very time-consuming job. Definitely not 9 to 5. People do this because they love it, but they need to earn good money from it too. Otherwise, what's the point.

[@Angel-vf1gf]

@@debsmith2269Absolutely… it’s crazy and I think why a lot of sellers don’t do “best offers.” Some people essentially want the items gifted to them 😂

[@TravisInDallas]

It's just like any other business. Can you imagine if people knew how much Walmart pays for an item. They don't think about all the cost on top of that. I think when there were more independent farmers and small businesses more people understood this. Now everyone works for someone else and have no idea what goes into getting them their check.

[@ebayshopgirl]

Maybe people who commented about your videos last week meant that they were glad to see you back from vacation and back to regular thrifting.

[@debbiekennedy6030]

Maybe they just had the impression that she didn't do as many videos since she was on vacation. Our perception can change our reality.

The egg piece.. that is used for when you pull eggs to use (cook) that this is like a spoon rest but for eggs to dispose the shell or for the egg to sit in until cooked. I have several.. they do come in handy especially around the holidays.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Congratulations on your first Van Briggle & the Roseville & other pieces, too! WOW! That was so exciting! 15:07- I think you can get more for the cranberry glass pitcher. Cranberry glass is usually more valuable because the cranberry color is made by adding gold. It’s usually made in smaller batches because of this very reason. My former husband is a stained glass artist & has taught me a lot about glass over the years. I am fortunate to have some beautiful stained glass pieces in my home! 😊

[@lc8117]

That's a Kong Wobbler. You put about a quarter cup of kibble in it and dog will figure out if they roll it and bop it with paw or snout kibble falls out of the hole. Our Aussie figured it out right away and we give her one sometimes when we want to make a stealth departure without her. Just be sure to adjust meals so they don't put on weight. That looks like the same size we have for our 45# girl.

hI Karen! I saw your videos last Wednesday and last Sunday. My question - what happens to items at an Estate Sale that don't get sold. Does the family have to decide what to do with it. Sometimes I see things at Goodwill and think that they came from an estate sale. What do you think?

[@LindaKayHolevas]

In my experience, the items that were left over from my mom’s estate sale were donated to different local thrift stores (I am not a fan of Goodwill, so I do not donate to them). It was up to us, the family, to decide what to do with everything. This was how the 4 different estate companies I interviewed handled the left-overs, but I don’t know if every company handles it the same way. I would assume though, after my experience, that a lot of unsold estate sale items get donated all at once to Goodwill. I am sure Karen will know more than I do! Great question, Diane! 😊

I watched a video from Goodwill recently, showing us their warehouse and business systems to sell high quality items, that have been donated, on their own Website. They showed their computer system, inventory system, identification and authenticity system etc. etc. They mentioned in that video that they are not in business to cater to the re-seller, but rather want to sell to the end user and that is the basis for their pricing policies. They prefer to part things out and make maximum profit on those items, rather than sell cheaply in lots and have the re-sellers then part them out and sell. It was an interesting video.

Hi Karen! Glad you liked Jake’s…that is a pretty good one and can be a bit overwhelming! The 25 cent sale I go to is right down the road from there. Literally about one mile south! I think the beautiful basket was a gathering basket for herbs or a market basket. Definitely would have been a stretch getting more than $170 for that on eBay I think. But as a long tail seller you may have been able to set your price at $250 and wait. That guy with the $500 painting was CRAZY!
