Karen, your organizational skills in your basement are absolutely amazing. Everything is just so easy to find. Every step of your selling process is so " finely "tuned". You are my reselling heroine. Thanks for the great videos. They are always a pleasure to watch!! Thanks again!

Mary Cassatt is the artist you were wondering about. I'd love to see someone interview a GW pricer.

The GW in South Carolina are mainly just empty shelves, but if they do have stuff it’s just thrown on the shelves with no organization at all. Must less by color. You may have coffee mugs on same shelf as adult diapers. You are SO lucky.

[@crankyladyvintage9434]

I love seeing you pull your sales - just the proof of the work done, and now going on to their new homes. Keep up the inspirational work Karen.

18:05 In vintage china and porcelain 2 handles on a cup indicates a cream soup cup. It came with a matching saucer and used a round cream soup spoon for the place setting.

[@maryallen1017]

I have no clue what is happening with Goodwills pricing. They will try to sell a $3 Walmart t-shirt that has been worn, washed and in bad shape for $5.99. It totally blows my mind. 🤯

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I use misc chandelier crystals as ornaments on my Christmas tree. I love how they catch the light, they make my tree so blingy! The Burberry coat is absolutely fabulous! Great find! I also love the woven basket purse. I will be looking for it in your eBay store. I loved the glass lamps, too, but realize you can’t buy everything! xo

[@lanna7917]

It's always good to see Roger and to see his personality coming out he's a keeper Karen. He just brightens up a room with his smile. If you would ship the plant stand I would buy it in a heartbeat.

[@terrysmith2191]

you dont have to scrub knobs! put a crock pot liner in your crock pot and put the knobs in with a little dawn and set it to high - just keep checking them to see if they are clean

The beautiful blue drop crystal in the bag is from Europe and likely is mercury glass. Check it under black light. Left Coast Revival bought similar in a flea market in Europe

The mail sorter would be great for families of school age kids. School forms that need to be signed, PTA or other notices kept in one place.

[@belleplaine6542]

That may have been a Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage platter that you placed the blue/white checkerboard teapot on. These can do well, especially around holidays (depending on how crazy Goodwill's price is, of course!). Thanks for your videos - so enjoyable!

[@paulinewhiteley7908]

I noticed that as well. If they are from Portugal e.g the Bordallo etc they are worth quite a bit. I have been selling several pieces lately and they made a very good profit.

[@frannyjettie]

I noticed the cabbage plate too and my heart skipped a beat.

[@meganpetty223]

I once found a Burberry trench in college down south, still have it in my closet. I hope your find is real! Our GWs here in Madison have been jacking prices up. I asked cashiers at one store about it, the line was that someone (maybe someone in the regional office?) has a list of brands, and they price according to that. It's been more noticeable with clothes than housewares, but every now and then I see something on the shelf that I almost drop due to sticker shock. If they weren't getting pretty much everything in their stores for free, a hike might be justified. But nope. Another quality video, thanks Karen.

[@CollaborativeDog]

I was even willing to give Goodwill the benefit of the doubt and hope they were giving workers a raise or maybe even hire more disabled or other challenged workers...but no. Pure corporate greed.

[@meganpetty223]

@@CollaborativeDog No doubt. Crying inflation, but again, they get stuff for free. Some of the smaller stores here are a little spendy now, but I definitely don't begrudge them an increase. Goodwill is another story, though! Grrr.

[@nadiacazares271]

@@AniniRain ...I know I live in Auburn and shop around the goodwill thrift store but goodwill are by far the worst to find inventory...I rather prefer the small shops or thrift stores garage sales when available or went to goodwill when they have the sunday Monday Tuesday sale tags

our goodwill has double everything in price. Things are higher than brand new at Walmart. I've quit going. if I'm going to pay a brand new price I'll do it someplace else. I'm thankful that we have true thrift stores around our area.

Best set-up for inventory I have ever seen. Looks just like you Dear, neat, tidy and organised. Big congratulations. Be careful with the vintage perfumes. EBay is giving a 3-4 day suspension without any warning. There is many sellers upset and other stations like Mackari,are jumping in the wagon. You are a fabulous inspiration. Cheers.

The process of your business amazes me and is so inspiring. I loved seeing you pull the shipping. You are so organized. I love thrifting, and often avoid picking up things that I love because of not having a need for them, but am now thinking I should try a bit of reselling ( on a much, much smaller scale, of course. 😄)

There's so many thrift stores other than Goodwill. Church thrift stores are my favorites, always great prices. Goodwill is crazy high these days.

[@lauriegani8136]

Not sure about the retail stores but our goodwill bins store hired more people to work in the back specifically to filter out more higher revenue items that come through to sell on goodwill online …. We were all wondering why the bins have been terrible lately. Goodwill is looking to squeeze every cent

[@brianhenry2385]

Pottery Barn “Mail Sorter” would also be good for holding clipboards or even file folders (the type with the metal top tabs that hold the pages in place).

[@teresacarle294]

For a household with kids (or those who like to picnic outdoors), it could also be used for paper goods like plastic cutlery, napkins & plates. You could also use it to store container lids inside a pantry. In a Home Command Center, you could put permission slips, teacher's notes, up-coming event tickets, take-out menus, etc. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@jedaholmberg3211]

Our GWs don't color code the aisles,it's just junk piled in in top of each other.

I’ve sold that Johnny Was Tee two times and sold for over 50 dollars each time . If you look at fabric content you’ll see it’s bamboo which is a pricey and rare material that’s used . So excited you scored that !

[@sonjapasa974]

The wooden couple are folk art. Very popular.

[@Secondliferacquet]

Karen I honestly don’t know why you bother with Goodwill anymore. I put all my heart and soul in sourcing at Savers (Unique) and 2nd Avenue these days. Much easier to flip items with their price points. Thanks for the video.

[@taracat7723]

I am converting to estate sales instead of GWs due to pricing and too many sellers. At the good sales, I pick up many comped items and determine the price point I want to pay..it's pretty good if you buy enough..I try to stay within a $2 to $5 price point and then try to sell the items for at least $35 to $40.. some higher if possible. The GWs by me in S. FL are not that great..not like they used to be..but then again..sometimes you can get lucky.♥️🙀🐱 Loved those glass lamps, and Roger is a sweetheart.

[@dianevanderlinden3480]

Yes Tara, one in particular in Palm Beach Cty is a real disaster now, lol. Their 'designer rack' is hilarious.

My aunt had larger prints similar to the first ones you picked up in the first part of the video in her dining room in the 1960’s.

[@CandyHolladay]

I am so jealous of y'all's Goodwills! When we first moved to Denver in 2020 (yes in Covid) we were fooled as I found so much. Now the shelves racks are half empty - I think with most people out shopping in stores now plus the fact the GW in CO pulls a lot of items to sell online has emptied out the stores a bit. Luckily there are so many great ways to source here other thrifts, sales, etc. that I still find a lot.

[@happylemonheads]

I live in a really small Montana town with a really small Goodwill Store, so we don't have a black isle or any color isle, we have a hard goods isle, wood isle, plastic and coffee mug isle and pots and pans isle then the rest is clothing shoes and linens. Our store is so small that furniture is turned away at the donation drop off. When I make the drive to the city once a month, I do go to every color isle because I am so excited by the choices.

The clear, sharp-edged oval bowl you commented on was an Italian piece. The way you tell the Italian from others is the sharp edges that could cut you.

[@karyllvanness9037]

I worked Goodwill Inland Northwest. Each region has its own CEO and own rules. They track employee quantity but sadly if it doesn't sell, that doesn't effect them. So much gets thrown away when not sold.
