Your voice is so sweet and soothing. You must calm everyone you meet!

[@pastichehaus]

😂😂😂 I was going to type the exact same thing.

[@lorrainechavez654]

I like the recycled boot leg turned into a vase. How much?

[@SickmanOfVietnam]

Your voice is so calm; feels like I’m in heaven.

[@julsknapp7192]

"I could be wrong about that" is my absolute favorite thing about you and why I keep coming back to watch every single video. 🌷😊🌻

[@yahyahsnani7544]

I love the simplicity of ur uploads some resellers are getring too technical.. Some people jist love the shopping and duscovery

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

You're so pretty and well spoken. So nice to listen to and learn from. Inspirational too! Thank you for sharing and brightening the day.

[@LisaGWoods]

I agree! She speaks so precisely and her voice is soothing. I like watching the young resellers to but there squeals of excitement is sometimes to much. But then I'm older so there's that.

[@cynthialenz]

You and The Crazy Lamp Lady shop the same goodwill. It's like deja vu seeing you both touch and pass by the same items. I really like the voice over on your shopping videos!

[@michelewarnecke4535]

I saw that as well and mentioned it. How ironic huh!

[@merceperez7381]

Me too! Great fun.

[@cynthialenz]

It's kind of like when you used to see characters from one tv show on another.

[@christinetrewin9717]

Make that me three

[@AussieHeyJude]

I loved this shopping trip with you. So many tips, suggestions and ideas given, thank you 😊 and you got some really nice things for resale too.

[@donnanaples9945]

I really enjoyed watching this and gaining useful knowledge on reselling! Also, there is just something special about how you’re intentional with your choices, the voice over and again giving tips that made viewing this relaxing!

[@Kambennett3]

Thank you for sharing these videos with us...I've learned so much from you! I'm especially thankful that you video these shopping trips and the actual video is SO smooth!!! I get carsick easily and can't usually watch these type of videos...but yours are excellent! Thank you!!!!! ❤️

[@Thankful_.]

I love the story you shared from your childhood about “Beth”! How sweet! I enjoyed your thrift haul! I, too, enjoy sharing what I find. I love getting a good deal and finding “new” treasures.

[@mandyraley1450]

Karen I have not been watching your videos in the order that you videotaped so I binge watch … and I just love to watch … but I saw the one where you talked about being bullied and I’m so sorry … KAREN KNOW YOUR WORTH!!! And I’m gonna just leave that right there … we love you and we THANK YOU for ALL your hard work you put into your job daily especially taking US with you 💜♥️💜

[@seaside2001]

It was very funny watching this video. The Crazy Lamp Lady on You Tube was in the same store and released a video a day or so ago, picking up and looking at many of the same items you were considering. She obviously left them behind as well. Loved the bag of poodles. Who doesn't need a big sack full of poodles! lol

[@Mich4513]

Hi ! Karen, just love these videos when you shop at Goodwill, like to see what you pick up---its also very relaxing!!

[@JuliaSophia52]

Nothing better than going thrifting with you on a crazy stormy Saturday morning. I love these videos, thank you.

[@CPcomments]

The frog glasses were a nice find. Couroc glassware is harder to find than the trays and usually sells well for me.

[@KimRobinson1214]

I loved the needlepoint that starts out something like the sun rise up to meet you. My dear dear mother in law used to say that all the time. She was Irish/Scottish and I think that is an Irish prayer. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@keylimekisses]

It's always fun going shopping with you! I saw some things I would have picked up but you didn't and things you picked up that I would not have. I guess if you take 20 different resellers shopping we would all find something different and that's why this job rocks there is enough to go around and enough difference in each others tastes and opinions that someone in the ebay world will find something they like....Thanks for sharing Karen! You rock!

[@tinaandre9905]

Karen, just excellent. I learn so much from you. I am also getting away from small profit items, trying for better quality finds! Thanks so much for your videos

[@DearASMRAbby]

These videos are wonderful. Not only is your voice relaxing but I love hearing all of your knowledge about these fun items! Thanks for taking the time to record and voice over. Keep it coming!

[@sixblessingspickinflippin3183]

Karen, you’re voice is so sweet & soothing! You are so knowledgeable, and you’re my fav to watch! 😉💗

[@monaf.6263]

Omg , I love this goodwill store. You sure did hit the jackpot today 👍🏼👍🏼 . Good for you. 👍🏼 I need to start going to the goodwill stores. 😍 beautiful stuff.😍

[@terratwotwo]

I could spend 8 hours in a Goodwill with this much stuff 😍 Tha is for taking us along!

[@lesliehanson998]

First time watching one of your videos - truly enjoyed the experience and plan on checking out more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@sharonhammon5457]

Just found your channel today!! I am enjoying watching you and I could relate to your thinking when shopping and looking for items. I, too, straighten shelves when shopping. You passed on a lot of great information and you took your time going through the store. I subscribed and will be following you-you really have a nice channel and you are so very pleasant to listen to!!

[@karmaleenash2841]

My theme for the year is “use what you have” or let it find another home. I have a huge collection of vintage everything that is about to find new homes and keeping or acquiring only what I use or absolutely love. Your wonderful video finally encouraged me to get started and set up my ebay/etsy/poshmark sites. Can’t seem to find your ebay store? Will search again. Maybe before I go looking for new I should use your great advice about what I already have lol! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@pifcalata8234]

So many great finds! Love your channel. 👍

[@reneebrown4169]

Thanks for taking us along! Great video,as always!

[@passjs]

Karen.... I loved Dolly Darlings! I've just started selling on ebay and just sold the one Dolly Darling I had as a child. Time to downsize! Love your videos, learning lots....thanks!

[@juanitaservin6246]

That orange with daisy mesh is a food tent to protect food from insects. Generally used at picnics. It's quite contemporary.

[@VeeAmericanEagle]

You always find the good stuff! I’m going thrifting today! Wish my luck, ladies!!!!!

[@christybruntz3807]

your voice is so soothing. I'm glad this was recommended to me while i'm at work. it's fun to just listen and watch & feel like im there with you! you are lovely :)

[@patriciarobinson5909]

The English teapot was beautiful. Four or five cups would be just fine!

[@Snookums1950]

I loved the needlepoint “ May the road rise up to meet you “. !

[@saywink]

I’m watching all your old videos while I ship and it’s crazy I found that same brass celestial sand hourglass thing at the bins here in Denver. You are right it did have the glass piece inside.

[@denisebaker346]

Amazing...I remember those dolls, I played with them but I had long forgot the name of them....Im thrilled you showed the doll and now I know the name again....they were such cute dolls. Love your shopping videos

[@RavenMaddPromo]

Seeing that doll again made me remember that I used to have one as well… which makes sense since my name is Beth too! ☺️

[@kathycoorens9472]

I love hearing your thought processes on what you are and are not picking up. Thank you oh and love the nice background music of your video

[@jamiekonz9151]

Crazy Lamp Lady was there this week too. I love when you guys show some of the same stuff :) As I am watching I think you went there before her. It is interesting seeing you both pickup some of the same items and put them back or seeing you put something back that she decided to pick. Thanks for your channel. I enjoy watching and learning as I am starting to resell. I am a 50+ year old massage therapist of 25 years and my hands hurt. I chose to resell because like you I love the hunt for treasures. Thanks again.

[@kimarellano3791]

I noticed the exact same thing .

[@Treasured_finds]

@@kimarellano3791 I noticed the same thing and was going to comment and see some of you already commented. I believe Karen was there before Jocelyn and Andrew as they picked up some things Karen didn't. Karen picks up some of the more modern pieces that Crazy lamp lady team doesn't. I think it's awesome to see how different people that go to the same shop pick up different things.

[@christinetrewin9717]

Treasured_finds1365 yes that way everyone gets a bite at the cherry 😁

[@christinabeil8780]

I saw the onion and said wait , Crazy lamp lady was just there, so funny

[@diggityd5856]

Lol!! I was thinking the same thing!!!

[@fimoize]

I could watch you go through those aisles for hours, so interesting. We don't have anything like those kinds of shops in Ireland. Charity shops here tend to be fairly small & no where near the variety of stock. Looking forward to your next "shop with me" video☘️

[@Quiltycrazy]

Love your videos! You are so funny! Love it when you, “I don’t know what this is, maybe it’s a.....”. So honest and tell it like it is.

[@wanderwoman5558]

Thank you for being such a thorough and discriminating shopper. You are teaching me to be on the lookout for those things to say YES to and the borderlines to so NOOOOO! to. Your vids are excellent, my favorite thrift shopping trips I take with you. Blessings.

[@FUNNYBUNNI1]

love it! Continue doing these videos ! And please do explain why you left behind and what caught your attention !

[@Laura-vv6cf]

What a sweet gift from your girls. I still have my teaparty kiddle doll. It came with a cup and saucer, but I only have the saucer.

[@nancytracy9499]

The chickens and quilts handwork was done in counted cross stitch on aida fabric. And THANK YOU for doing this kind of video. I'm learning a lot!

[@carolewhite4659]

Thanks for taking us along!! I gravitate to wood, orange and brown😁

[@glendablackburn2828]

I remember them. I had one when little, and ended finding the same one years later, too. Still have that one 💕

[@cindyvilla]

You are my thrifting idol! Always excited when you have a new video! Love your calm voice and your giggle. Makes me smile, like a best friend. Don’t ever stop! I can’t believe the cool things you find there. Central IL does not compare!

[@cynthialenz]

I always think that too. There seems to be such great stuff in Pennsylvania and so reasonably priced. Where I am from, they are often priced high and you have to ask for a discount.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Cindy Villa thanks so much!💜💜 yes to best friends! 😁

[@housespdrs]

I enjoyed your video very much. You allowed me to shop with you. There was a few items I would’ve got that you didn’t and a few items you picked up that I wouldn’t have. Otherwise our carts would’ve been identical! Love the information you gave me on brands and such. You panned the area slowly and not a dizzying speed which is the norm in some videos. I loved your peaceful voice throughout. Such a relaxing 45 minutes. Well worth the time spent!

[@amyhartman8068]

The Pentax K1000 is the first camera most students start with when film cameras were in. They still are great for those who want to learn.

[@Mixmastermonk80]

I’m so insanely jealous of how packed the shelves are at your Goodwill. I’ve been begging my buddy Matt to take me to his hometown in PA & go on a weekend thrifting adventure.

[@annieday77]

Karen your amazing! Love your videos thank you so much for making them 💕

[@patriciabird8858]

Your shopping videos are the absolute best! I love your calm, professional over voice! I did see a few things another seller picked up, I think you probably left them due to the low selling point and they were fragile. ❤️.

[@michelewarnecke4535]

Love this video! I think you may be in the same thrift store as another reseller I watch because things were looking similar and then I saw several items on the shelves that they picked up!! It's a small world after all :) I have always thrifted but since I found your videos, they inspired me to start reselling. Thank you!

[@bluewillowvintage3421]

I’m really enjoying your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😄😄😄

[@romonathornhill4634]

LOVE LOVE your vlogs. I always watch looking to see if anything is missed that I would have picked up and this was the 1st one I’ve watched that I saw something. I keep telling you to go back, go back but you continued on....lol 😂😂

[@sharongillis4531]

Karen l absolutely love going shopping with you,thrifting, garage sales,etc,etc & the info given. The music is so relaxing... I can guarantee you will entice more subscribers with this format.👏👏👏 Can’t wait for the next vid.😊

[@janeroark9078]

I too like the relaxing music.

[@andicastro1203]

Karen, you did a great job here. Camera shots were good and you moved at just the right speed. Also by always learn so much from you.

[@northtexas4110]

Enjoyed your awesome shopping video! Was going to go to our goodwill in Gainsville today but we got snow over night and icing on roadways. So I decided to stay in. Its to hard for me to walk on ice and drive on it for sure. Texas our yearly snow! Maybe an inch!! lol and will prob be melted by end of day!! I thought about freezing my yearly snowball to throw at my husband lol but didn't this time!! lol thanks for the video! I am very particular about the condition of what I buy too.

[@ArlenesCreations]

Jey Karen, Joslyn from the Crazy Lamp Lady purchased that bowl you passed on. She has like 12 bids already and its up tp 39.00 with 2 days to go. When you passed on it I said to myself, Oh Joslyn would have picked that up, and low and behold shes already selling it in her ebay store. Love your Channel. If im ever in PA I would love to thrift with you.

[@ArlenesCreations]

Sorry...its up to 29.00..lol typo

[@danw3817]

I've never seen a haul video done like this.... very nice. Thank you!

[@jedaholmberg3211]

Watching you shop is my Fave!!

[@cathw61]

I am the same way with spiral notebooks! I do architectural research for a living and I do all my research on line by hand, millions of notes, thousands of architects and buildings. Those back to school sales are great for cheap supplies!

[@omapanther222]

Thank you,Karen,for continuing to teach us in 2022.I really enjoy watching.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks Oma!!💜💜

[@wastenotwantnot6754]

Karen, I believe that the photograph of the soldiers and young people with flowers is from the time of the fall of the Berlin wall. I remember watching it on TV. Fun shopping video. I think we can all agree that "the hunt" is the best part of reselling. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

I had to laugh when you straightened those votives. I do that all the time as well as put things together that I think should be. The other day I ran into my good resale buddy and instead of quickly going through the store and home we were very naughty and ran out to another resale store where I found some awesome vintage curtains to sell which one lot sold within two hours for very good money!! Woohoo. It was meant to be. Some nice finds here!! The frog glasses would have go in my cart! Couroc makes some cute whimsical things, mostly bar ware trays.there is a matching companion frog Couroc tray listed on eBay for $95 now 😉

[@GrandmaSandy]

So much for sharing so many awesome things when you were out shopping today thank you again

[@bonitaharrison1037]

I'm overwhelmed just looking at your haul. It must take you forever to check out and unpack everything. Please do a video on what you do when you get home with all that stuff. Thanks, Karen.

[@cathyhelmuth823]

The recycled boot is amazingly unique!

[@nancylourose]

I really liked that as well. The leather was beautiful

[@christinaedwards3841]

It's funny to see the same things that Crazy Lamp Lady looked at this week too. She picked up alot of what you did too.

[@christinetrewin9717]

christina edwards and bought them 😁

[@karenzaretski2344]

Hi, Karen. I really enjoy your show. Your goods are well-chosen; you're decisive; honest; and a pleasure to listen to. FYI...The wooden cat you picked up is hand-made in Indonesia. The wooden aboriginal man you didn't pick up, is made there, as well. They are fairly popular items in import stores and do not cost much to buy. 😀

[@carolgleeson8743]

I am so amazed because I had that same little dolly darling doll and I am about the same age as you, born in ‘61 AND also a full time reseller! I am a new subscriber, just found your videos and am enjoying your content. I sell both clothing and collectibles, and started in ‘03.

[@thriftyhokie4029]

Roanoke Va! That is where I am from...lol so appropriate that it's "Bar Ware" lol....love your videos! I'm learning so much...thank you for being so generous with your knowledge...

[@maureenlehman139]

Great video... loved the wall pocket

[@wendymontgomery3937]

Love your shop along videos!

[@BronsteinEmily]

I love your little doll! Compliments to you or your daughter for adding music without it being too loud or drowning out when you are talking. It was a nice touch.

[@DannyoffireAwaken]

I saw someone talk about your channel on one of Crazy Lamp Lady's videos and decided to check you out. I'm so glad I did! Your voice is so soothing and your content is great. You're now one of my favorite KZbinrs!

[@COPPERSTATETREASURES]

Hi.. I found you through another channel!!! I love thrifting for Ebay!!! I am happy to meet you!!! I totally remember those dolls!! That is so cute!!!

[@MsFlame2000]

I really enjoy your videos and learned a lot from them. I wish you would do a video on alternative storage methods ideas for inventory and small spaces.

[@bluewillowvintage3421]

Nice find on the Garnet Hill. I have two family members who work in their corporate offices. I’m a fan.

[@peggymohr7899]

I always enjoy your videos on thrifting. You have great taste for quality items not junk like so many thrifters.

[@pamrowland6233]

Really enjoy your videos. You make make laugh!!

[@SweetKarasKollectibles]

What a sweet story about your childhood doll! 💕

[@redriverscout4404]

Cameras are my specialty. The camera looks like a Pentax K1000. A great mechanical and reliable camera. If you turn the crank and press the shutter button and it fires chances are it is working fine. The only electronics are the meter and if the lens cap is missing the battery is probably dead since it is "always on." The lenses if they are Pentax too are very good quality and sought after. You could definitely make good money off of that. The K1000 was the student camera if probably every photography school from the 70s till they were discontinued in the late 90s. Funny enough for such a simple and common camera the prices are only going up. 10 years ago they were going for 40 now many are north of 100.

[@karenwright2704]

ALOHA 🌺Karen from MAUI…..I also LOVE SHOPPING GOODWILL AND YARD SALES!!!! Thanks for all the tips

[@nancyloomis3046]

The needlework you picked up is counted cross stitch. Nice! I know what you mean with shipping the breakables. “I yie yie.” I too am trying to get away from too many breakables.

[@whatsoldonebay6783]

I liked that seashell! Different!

[@tambij]

Myself, my Mother, and Grandmother all collect antiques. Mostly large furniture, flow blue china, and I love milk glass 🌺

[@southernmermaid2526]

How sweet. I’ve never seen Garnet Hill children’s sheets but I have done well with their linen pillow cases and fabric shower curtains. 💚🦋

[@moonie7155]

3 seconds in and I already subscribed! Can't wait to watch all your videos

[@jackiepreston3146]

You were right about the fedora, it was very cheaply made. My father wore one all the time and his were beautiful. Love watching you!

[@suesousa8116]

Looks like the same place the crazy lamp lady stoped ..lol what you left behide she took !😉 alot of nice stuff

[@margomeadors1453]

First time watching enjoyed your style of shopping, informative, no music, soft voice! 😊

[@qtpieb2588]

Uggs have the clear label on the bottom. Just got a high end pair for Christmas and had that sticker!

[@thriftflipfire3501]

I want those duck bookends !!! Gorgeous

[@alfa5243]

I am from Michigan and your selection in the East is so much better then at our goodwills. WOW! It would be so fun to pick at your stores.

[@ellenl5626]

Your videos are so informative and helpful! Could you explain for us how you decide where to sell specific items such as eBay, Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp, and do you ever sell on Craigslist? Thanks in advance for your valuable experience!

[@lindabullock6159]

That definately was a paperweight. I collect all kinds. Enjoyed this video so much. The mind of Karen Ebay seller.💗

[@carolp8243]

I enjoyed shopping with you 😊 😊😊😊

[@pickermom384]

I'm amazed that your Goodwill allows returns!!

[@audm.5946]

Many do.

[@jackiewallum8999]

[@sueojeda5712]

On the frog glasses I saw the word curoc saw a glass piece at my local thrift store yesterday didn't buy it but wondered about the name did not look it up. Enjoy your videos 🙂

[@memagranola]

Love going shopping. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🇨🇦

[@alice_rabbit8345]
