The music in places will make me leave immediately. Don’t need the migraine

[@catilyeverafter316]

I go to Goodwill just for the tunes 🎼😃

[@cindyreinhart9552]

I love that very first pitcher and all of the yellow ware..........oh who I am kidding? I love it all Michael!

[@ncorp2668]

Michael, I can't believe it every time you go to a goodwill you always find different or very cute kitsch or very cool finds!🌞The telaflora yellow dishes were amazing,love the pig and pitcher!!!😁🌺🐈🐕🌹

[@shannon_w.]

I used to be a manager in a smaller nonprofit thrift store and we played music from Pandora radio and we would always pick fun music that made the shopping experience fun but we NEVER put it so loud that it would distract from the shopping experience. It is just about respect for the shoppers and good business practices 😒

[@karenmccurdy4448]

Go speed racer...

[@pammywhammy3521]

😅

[@RubeeMae366]

Michael, didn't you think the head statue looked like Jackie Kennedy? It was dated 1963 which would fit the time of Pres. Kennedy. Just a thought.

[@kclark8281]

The paper thing isn’t a vase it’s a hat!! And it’s worth grabbing 😊

[@lindaebauer5485]

Came here to say that! 10:37

[@quinnmurdock3259]

Yeah antique nomad can tell you about it 😂he had one in video

[@susanalfieri4487]

@@quinnmurdock3259 Right? We've seen George model the hat for us. Very funny!

[@sjorgensen2221]

I absolutely HATE loud music when shopping....WHY???

[@deloreslowndes762]

I've been known to walk out when the music is loud....it feels like a personal assault...impossible to function.

[@caryblack5985]

I agree excessive music volume is distracting and unpleasant.

[@saber5664]

Agree about loud music being distracting-especially if you don't like the music.

[@pamelapeterson1885]

I agree with your statement about the music!!

[@amyroberts7248]

OMG I hate when music is blasting when Im shopping even if it is music I like, Its just annoying. Love the stuff you got tho

[@laneyjames2946]

If music is too loud it definitely detracts from the experience and makes it quite uncomfortable. It’s not like it’s a music store.

[@sharplisa5746]

Loud music in restaurants also irritates me. I love to watch your shopping vids despite the loud music.

[@barbarajeanne8351]

I agree about the music. Its stupid to have it so LOUD!

[@debishaw9355]

That music is way too loud. I’d have to leave quickly

[@ladytron1724]

Agree,turn the music down,or better still turn it off😂🤫

[@barbarareed3661]

I don't understand the logic in buying dishware made in China to look like Talavera. I'd rather have the real thing.

[@shartheheretic]

I agree.

[@tammyshirey3041]

I agree about the music wholeheartedly Michael! When it’s that loud it is very distracting and when I leave the store my ears are ringing! 🤪

[@bethb7965]

OMG, that music is obnoxious!! I would have been out of there in 2 minutes with a stop at customer service to complain!!

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

I don’t like the loud music either! That paper vase was a hat- u expand it!

[@momsemail8141]

I think the paper vase is a hat. George showed one!

[@gigisfinds-gaylene4193]

Oh goodness, the music!! It would give me a migraine! Your cart was filled with so many goodies, too hard to pick one!

[@crystalmessick5680]

I find the loud music very distracting.

[@karimendenhall89]

Also, you were about 1 mile from a MASSIVE antique mall....Ohio Valley antique mall...you can spend hours in there😊

[@suertecitaful]

I always have my AirPods w me. If I’m gonna listen to music it has to be of my choosing. I can’t deal with thrift store music/noise.

[@ednapalmer6914]

The music is so chaotic.

[@lindawollaston5661]

The item i most wish you picked up was whatever was playing that insanely loud music....and thrown it into the parking lot !!!!!! 😐 Sorry ,almost blew a gasket. Love ya ❤❤ .

[@tracybeil4625]

Loud music ugh!! Leaving ASAP! I actually find it rude. Interesting tag along. Thanks Michael❤😊

[@KT-moon-stars]

That was not a paper vase but a hat. George the Nomad showed one on one of his videos.

[@rikkemeek1506]

The blue paper vase at 10.33 is actually a hat. George the antique nomade had one🙂

[@desertgalcurios]

I was hoping Michael would try on a new hat style. Lol 😂

[@rikkemeek1506]

@@desertgalcurios I think it might suit him nicely😀

[@kitschyoyo78]

OMG, the first Valley Thrift store's music is so obnoxiously loud. Loud music anywhere is so irritating but especially when you are trying to shop and need to focus. I do wear earbuds so I can choose my own music.

[@bethb7965]

It's better to watch this video with the volume down and the CC turned on. You can read what Michael us saying and don't have to listen to the music

[@sherireynolds1410]

I don't know why, but I've heard alot of rumblings about blue bow geese coming back in style. I can think of many other things I'd rather see come back.

[@amycollins3319]

Loud music imposed on me while trying to focus is the worst. I wear my earbuds and listen to music I enjoy.

[@DeanLeonard1]

Michael, I'm totally in agreement with you about the unpleasant music. I'm also a reseller, and I occasionally shop at the same Valley Thrift in Kettering, Ohio; I too *really* hate the deafening music, which is invariably the kind of twangy Country & Western that makes my ears bleed and promptly puts me in a ragey mood. That's frankly why I don't go there very often. Aggressively annoying music can keep shoppers at bay. Sigh.

[@Deb21nyc]

omg! go back for Jackie Kennedy's head!!!

[@jeannemarie6763]

The pitcher whose open holes make it nonfunctional drives me crazy.

[@sheila8730]

I hate blaring music when I am shopping or in restaurants.

[@shannamiller7435]

You threw the hair ties on the floor for someone else to pick up? “Boughten”? 😟

[@danahaines2778]

Music is major distracting for me as a viewer. I prefer voiceover to that but I get that you cannot do that all the time.

[@lisahebein714]

I just have to say Micheal is the fastest shipper! I payed for an item and received it 2 days later. Awesome!

[@pammywhammy3521]

Agreed!😊

[@desertgalcurios]

Nooo. i agree, Stay away from the blue geese. You did well talking over that music.

[@djmond3497]

I agree that loud and bad music can ruin my shopping experience!

[@jenniemarquardt6005]

Studies show less productivity with the blaring muzak as well!!!! YUK God bless you. I would have left.

[@sallyreames7698]

That is articulately obnoxious music your GW is rockin, mine has been playing ska and reggae

[@lanna7917]

My Goodwill's and Salvation Army's are still old school in merch and prices.

[@michelleokoth6064]

Id go and ask them to turn down the music..its loud and makes the shopping experience undesireable. It needs to be addressed instead of ignored 😉be proactive💪🏾

[@barbarasantay7386]

Paper vase is a hat. I have seen the Antique Nomad plop it on his head!!!!

[@thomasaitken336]

i dislike the music often leave the channel would prefer voice overs

[@janetd4862]

Frustrating day! I swear that I go to Goodwill six times in a row and buy nothing. Then I score something that keeps me going back.

[@christinegreywolf]

Ohmygosh I have super senses so loud music makes me nuts as it actually bothers my ears. I will just leave the store without buying anything. Also everyone is saying the paper vase is a hat, but I have made those folded paper vases out of books for years now that I do sell. I would need to see an official museum person state that it is a hat and not just anitque nomad as he is an online flipper. If anyone has that info let me know.

[@amberhansen3806]

My Great Grandfather is buried in Kettering OH. I've always wanted to visit

[@barbarajeanne8351]

Loved the Sun Bags Beautiful colors!

[@quinnmurdock3259]

The bag of stuff you can use those nightlight chords for vintage blowmolds ❤😮😊

[@vickiromines1552]

Hey Michael 👋 Love Shopping with You!!!

[@bibliomaineiac9236]

Someone else might have said it, but the dove in the baggie is a Home Interior piece. It was part of a pair.

[@shannon_w.]

My Mom had that set ☺️

[@janiebrossmann1178]

We only have a few thrift shops within a 20 minute radius and usually have a lot of broken or chipped decor so I’ll stick with antique malls

[@annemalone8292]

Loud music is the worst. I want to hum along, if its too loud i cant think and get soooo annoyed - one store the speakers get all crackly if they go too loud.

[@tuesdaychild4483]

Did you check out the Habitat prices when you were there? Also a good reason to never shop there! 😂

[@Virginia-1216]

Was the bust Jackie Kennedy Onassis

[@2002France1]

I think it was Jackie.

[@CarmenMD1]

That blue vase thing was a hat. I will buy from you if it's still there next time.

[@Lynn-ql9bg]

Love the way you tossed the hair elastic. Nice bag.

[@jenniferstout468]

Was thinking the same, right on the floor!

[@lizshea67]

Your hair band comment cracked me up, the loud music is so distracting!

[@loyalistrose5727]

Music and other voices so distracting. Maybe a voice-over next time?

[@barbarawhite3217]

I am glad you found the pitcher. It is coming to my house.😊

[@brendabatt6874]

My local Habitat for Humanity store has a tiny section of hard goods and tons of furniture from a local auction house, that is priced super high. I thought it was funny. The auction house couldnt sell it, donated it, then habitat goes crazy with the prices.

[@shannon_w.]

That is EXACTLY how the Habitat in my area is! Well except there are ZERO hard goods there. About a half an hour from me there is another Habitat that has a lot of great vintage hard goods and furniture but their prices are literally higher then EBay!

[@luvnalaska44]

I SO agree. Shopping with music blaring is so unappealing. If anything you would think calm, soothing music would keep people in the shopping coma longer. Haha (I believe they once used pleasant smells and calm music back in the day to keep folks in the store longer. As a child in the 60/70s all the malls played “elevator” music and it was fun to spend the day at the mall. I get in the zone whilst shopping but loud or obnoxious music drives me right out of the store. Their music was ridiculously loud. Love how you can always find a little treasure wherever you find yourself shopping. Loved the camera! So fun to us in a display. So happy you took us along.

[@allisonpayne3311]

Fairfield also has the Ohio Valley Antique Mall.

[@beckyc.5743]

Holes in the pitcher design could make pouring something a little messy… I do like the look of it!

[@dianehermann3342]

Oh my goodness that was fun today maybe you should drove that 30 minutes 😂 there was nothing in them last 2 stores for sure🦋loved the Pig and the kate Spade bag 🦋🌼🦋🌻

Omg that temptations set is my pattern and I don't have those wahh.

[@CarolynHenderson-og7kf]

That lattice piece next to the green warren piece was cool looking.

[@carriejones1433]

I don’t get the loud music in these places. Gives me a headache.

[@None-685]

Tossing on the floor?? Michael really?

[@carolyntoftey7198]

I would have picked up the covered blue dish.

I’ve never seen you fill a cart that full! Lol😂

[@belindagibson455]

That music even makes it hard to watch the video

[@PhancyPants99]

That Jackie Kennedy bust by Linn products looks very rare and possibly valuable. You dismissed it very quickly.

[@DeanLeonard1]

Michael may be too young to have recognized the face as Jackie Kennedy's.

[@peggypeter8070]

I don’t think it would be valuable, it wasn’t very flattering!

[@PhancyPants99]

@@peggypeter8070 I cant speak for its value but it seems to be a very rare piece and I bet a lot of Kennedy collectors would love to have it.

[@BayouBelleVintiques]

Michael, I have been a subscriber of yours for about a year. Love every single one of your videos:)) Super excited to see you exploring the Cincinnati area. You are in my neck of the woods and going to places I haven't been to yet! Hope to see you on one of my trips to the many Valley Thrifts! The Evendale location may be worth the trip as there is a wonderful antique store very close by and a St.Vincent De Paul, as well. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos and the knowledge you share. 🥰🥰
