OMG I Found A Bitossi at Goodwill! | Thrifting with Me for Resale on Etsy

[@dianadelahaye7660]

Love the wooden fish bowl.

[@kimnelson7068]

I found Bitossi at my Goodwill, too! I didn't know what it was til I got home. 🎉🎉

[@AllPutTogether]

So cool! I still can’t believe I found it. So random!

[@krisphilwade1]

Andi, thank you for the video. I would love to see you do a holiday video on what/when you sell holiday items.

[@AllPutTogether]

You got it!

[@suzymarshall4898]

I’ve never been a brass polisher until I saw this video and how beautiful the lidded pot turned out! And I have to say keep doing what you are doing. A couple of these comments were bizarre, nitpicking things that I can’t imagine being annoyed by. You are awesome!

[@AllPutTogether]

Aww thank you!! Appreciate the encouragement. ❤️

[@marianic194]

Fantastic haul and congrats on selling the Bitossi vase and the lidded brass box so quickly. Amazing!

[@AllPutTogether]

Thanks! I had a feeling they would go fast!

I came across the brass butterflies at a sale this weekend, but they wanted $60. I passed. Great finds. I love your individuality. Don’t change!

[@AllPutTogether]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@PeachandOliveVintage]

That Bamboo table! What a find!🤩

[@kristentinsley9000]

Raymore used “BIT” to indicate Bitossi pieces, which I see on the original sticker! So exciting! Laura Caldwell is absolutely the reason for my Bitossi obsession. Also I almost died when you said to ask her husband about the fish plate because I have that same thought whenever I see one now 😂😂 I’m new to your channel and loving it. Great content!

Love that Bitossi. Great idea using the key design

[@jupitermoon8671]

was it a Bitossi though?

[@lindahensley5711]

I use diatomaceous earth on anything I need polished including silver. It’s all natural and will not scratch. Make sure to get the food grade tho and you can even brush your teeth for a nice smooth polished affect. It’s amazing stuff.

[@kristentinsley9000]

🤯 I’ve never heard of this technique! Definitely checking that out!

[@AllPutTogether]

Great tip!!!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

The 1:25 & 9:00 pieces really caught my eye. The Bitossi vase was like nothing I had ever seen before.

I know, it was so unique I was shocked when I turned it over!! 🤯

[@2002France1]

Another great haul Andi!

[@AllPutTogether]

Thank you! 🤗

[@Summertimevintage]

Fellow Oregon reseller here. I’ve only been doing it for a year and I love watching your videos to what is selling for you and what you find! I would like to know how you are able to ship the bamboo table. I have a smaller one I haven’t even listed yet because I can’t figure out how to reinforce it enough to not break during shipping. Thanks for all the great content 😊

[@AllPutTogether]

I usually bubble the legs and top, and will add cardboard pieces around anything that is fragile, like the thin sides. So it's kinda a box within a box. Then I will build a box around it (unless I happen to have the right size). I usually ship the item UPS and then add private insurance in case it breaks.

[@Summertimevintage]

@@AllPutTogether Thanks for taking the time to answer, much appreciated!

[@citybrocante916]

Yes to a holiday video. Regarding bamboo Pieces, do you clean them or treat them with anything particular?

[@AllPutTogether]

I usually vacuum and wipe them down, but don’t generally put any product on them.

[@WestCoastWrenVintage]

I’ve always avoided butterflies personally. Now I may have to reconsider as those brass ones are pretty cool.

[@AllPutTogether]

They sell everytime! Even the flimsy metal ones that look cheap sell.

[@meebeatie4013]

Omg, i hope you picked up that "scratchy" blanket. It was most likely an antique wool and cotton overshot woven coverlett. They are a piece of history highly collectable and very valuable!!!

[@AllPutTogether]

It had an imperfection and I decided to pass on it. :(

[@claudiamansour7058]

Love your haul...I love the brass pot with lid..But I personally prefer the aged, vintage look of patinated brass ..

[@AllPutTogether]

Luckily patina always comes back. And this time it should age evenly.

[@sharoncherry]

Next to the brass angel wreath holder was a Jim Shore figurine that sells for $$$'s. I wish I was there to buy it.

[@AllPutTogether]

Thank you for identifying it! Next time I will keep an eye out!

[@lynnraynor2043]

Love the Bitossi!

[@maryarigho5868]

Fabulous haul.

[@AllPutTogether]

Thanks for watching!

[@cathydavis8564]

I have sold several of those brass butterflies. But I always sold them as a set. Never pieced them out.

[@AllPutTogether]

I’ve done both, but in a booth setting I find I make more piecing them out.

[@Mo.Vintage15]

Please do the holiday special 🎄

[@DanSmith-v4l]

Great video.

Thanks!

[@denisef3228]

A Bitossi??? Oh my gosh, i would probably pass out!

[@AllPutTogether]

I still can’t believe it!! 🤯🥳

[@nathanortiz3671]

Around the 10:15 time mark where you were looking at the big brass & black vase, there were a pair of fairly large matching red hobnail looking glass vases or maybe hurricanes- I would have at least investigated them a little because 1) Christmas and 2) matching pair...

[@AllPutTogether]

I’ll have to go back at the footage and look! Thanks for identifying them!

[@terrivalente]

Glad to see that you recognize Jesse as the "Fish Platter " expert 😂

[@donnadevries-hestand1659]

Did you secretly try rubbing the lamp? lol

[@skylaroshea6625]

you missed JIM SHORE right beside the angel Xmas brass stocking holder :0(

[@AllPutTogether]

Thanks for identifying it! Next time I will keep my eyes peeled!

[@IamSnowbird]

I'm curious how you knew the pumpkin candle holders were vintage. I would have thought Homegoods or Hobby Lobby.

[@AllPutTogether]

I did a google search while I was at the store and the style came back as vintage.

[@mysterygurl6665]

Curious what part of the country you are shopping? My local thrift stores in the Midwest do not have much! Thank you.

[@AllPutTogether]

Portland, Oregon

[@Mo.Vintage15]

Question ~ how would you package the butterflies for shipping with the antennas? I am always scared they will break which has prevented me from picking them up.

[@AllPutTogether]

For think metal items, I usually will fold carboard around them and tape it shut. That way it would need to bend the entire card vs. the object in order to do damage. I tend to do this method on really anything that is sticking out and could feel stressed during shipping.

[@maryjoymath3545]

Ok. The ceramic vase, brown, with key decorative design, just saw a short and the gal had the same one and stated it was mid century italian batosi!!! Had same markings on the bottom as yours. Or perhaps that was, in fact, your short??? If so sorry, and silly me!!!💞💞🙃💞💞

[@agomodern]

Many times, finding cracks in something you don't need or that is overpriced is a good thing. 10:13 To the left it looks like you missed a piece of Empoli that had a very long stem, but it wasn't a very exciting color. I saw that before you showed the Bitossi (I love that piece, and brown is my favorite color!) on the same shelf, so my hunch is probably right.

[@AllPutTogether]

I'll have to go back to the footage and look! Ive gotten so many comments on all sorts of things I missed so Ive learned a lot from this video. lol

[@agomodern]

@@AllPutTogether I was thinking about it and I retract my comment about it probably being Empoli. lol I have a similar one, but it looks quite different proportionately.

[@minie4887]

I would love to see that video

[@adrienneduff7337]

I found that brass India vase today in my local GW, same size, more black, $14.99. Definitely paid more than I wanted to but I missed another medium sized black one this year at an annual senior center giant summer sale where the organization rents 4 empty mall storefronts for one weekend. The second day is half off. The third day is stuff a container for $10. I missed it on the second day and was two people behind the woman who grabbed it! But I did get a fabulous vintage oil painting for half off instead. I try to focus on the scores…and overpaid today as a result of missing the black vase. Ugh.

[@octobird1]

Please tell me how you shipped the side table? Freight?

[@AllPutTogether]

I haven’t listed it yet, but I usually use UPS for larger pieces like that.

[@redhatnancy4694]

Have you listed the brass pot yet? I didn’t see it on Etsy.

[@AllPutTogether]

It sold right away - Sorry! Thanks for watching. ❤️

What is your brass cleaning method, please?

[@AllPutTogether]

Here's a video on my process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en_Qd4KLrKyYl7c

[@kellycharif1526]

My husband calls you the crow because you pick up all the shiny brass…… 😜 no offense! Lol ETA- and yes, would love a holiday video!

[@AllPutTogether]

Haha that’s definitely me! 🤭

[@patricelagos897]

Hi. I just found you and going to subscribe! Fun to watch! I want to ask what your brass cleaning technique is. I never have good luck cleaning brass or copper. Thanx! 🎉

[@Foxlairmktg]

If you really want vintage glass, you zoomed right past the two groups of vintage Tiffin Franciscan stemmed glasses (clear optic body, detailed gold border and rim) right next to the French glasses you picked up at about minute 10:30. Just sayin'...

[@AllPutTogether]

I think when I turned the price over on those they were really expensive. The dollar/glass I paid for the French ones was so cheap it was crazy. Goodwill isn't usually that generous ;)

[@bubbie23jw]

Does Etsy have a selling secret? Trying to get more sales

[@AllPutTogether]

Post new items often. I list throughout the week and it helps stimulate everything to come up higher in search.

[@ab.5650]

How do you clean your brass, pls?

[@AllPutTogether]

Here's a tutorial I did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en_Qd4KLrKyYl7c

[@miekeeerkens1001]

Did I miss the part where it was confirmed to be a Bitossi? Did Laura confirm that? Nice!

[@AllPutTogether]

Someone else helped me in the comments!

[@haileysunset]

It would be nice if you would say the name of the stores your at. Goodwill locations

[@austenpoet]

I can NOT sell art pottery or Mexican/Italian pieces to save my life on Etsy!! How do you and Laura do it??😮

[@AllPutTogether]

Wild! You'll have to send me your shop name so I can see what items you have. I find anything Italian metal sells, however pottery and Mexican pottery are more selective.

[@kenarobinson5166]

It seems like everybody is shopping at goodwill and reselling, now these days people are being aware of what they get rid of and selling their own things on eBay and Etsy and other places. And before you know it u can't get anything at these thrift stores

[@jackieblodgett2799]

Yes you can. You just have to search. Go to thrift and vintage store and look for those sellers who have nice sales! No one is going to just give it to you - gotta look for it!!!

[@AllPutTogether]

I just did a dump run recently and was shocked by how much people throw away in the actual trash. Like perfectly good stuff. I think we are poised to see MORE items at the thrift stores as more people realize that used things have value.

[@RomysRetro]

People have been reselling since literally the beginning of time . . . retail stores buy and markup when they sell. Its a thing. I mean. Everyone has their own thing they resell and it gives others the opportunity to find things they can't source in their own areas. . . reselling is not new is my point.

[@Pampnaylor]

Those boobs! Oh my goodness😮😂🤦‍♀️🤣

[@Pampnaylor]

Love the tray and the fishbowl! I would buy both! Great finds. Both such great pieces for designing.

[@SeaweavesTLC]

Wait. So do you know it’s a Bitossi for sure?

[@AllPutTogether]

Yup! It’s authentic!

[@carolynquffa6]

I know you don't want to get too personal but the things you see at Goodwill make me think the stores you thrift in are getting donations from pretty wealthy people. All the best to you.

[@AllPutTogether]

Yes, this area has a good mix of people so we get a nice mix of items.

[@danashaw2578]

Why is a crack the deal breaker? Makes no sense
