Thrift Store & Bargain Barn Sale Shopping for Vintage & Antique Deals!

[@judithderington-mcconnell6437]

I allow you to drag me all over North America! I go without complaint, in fact, I learn from virtually every stop you make on your journey to find something antique or vintage everyplace that you find open for business. My 50 plus years in the business gives me a background to usually select the same items for collecting or resale that you purchase. I love listening to your descriptions and the chain of thought that you use to reason out your buys. Keep on keeping on, George! Your longtime viewer, subscriber, supporter, and friend from afar, Judy in Texas. ❤🎉❤

Great time with you , George 🎉 lots to see and learn about 🎉 fun to explore 🎉 thank you

Hey George, I had that same green parrakeet when I was little. Fun to see it all. Thanks so much for always sharing the good stuff w/us. Love & Blessings Always

[@maryd9331]

This was fun! Sometimes it's nice to get away from Fenton et al and see things from a variety of eras and manufacturers. 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@maryd9331 agreed

[@susanhannon7596]

Enjoyed this tour. Am now motivated to hit the road, get out of my area, which is NW NJ , where there might be more variety and better pricing. You are inspiring to those of us who cherish the past and like to collect and preserve items that are no longer being made. Thanks

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad! You might come west in summer when the big antique show is in Portland, Oregon

[@nrivera4380]

The SAVE Thrift Store is my favorite - just 1/2 mile from my house! I wanted to buy the silver leaf glasses, but someone else beat me to them. Fun video, George!

I love wingin' it with you! Every time I watch, I learn something new. Like...I now need an ice bucket for my Libbey Leaves.

[@cecoya]

This was a day filled with fun, shopping, and seeing stuff. Love it. So much to see from different parts of the US for sure. I love the fact that not everyone collects the same things for the same reasons. We all overlap a bit but that is what makes it better. Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing this day. Happy Holidays and safe travels

[@angelsvintagetreasures]

I like stopping at the Centraila goodwill. I've stopped there for years. The last time I did, I picked up at viking pedestal petal bowl, rectangular folded in two, in amber. I also shop for my grand kids. They had some nice clothes there. I got off the freeway because of a huge 20-30 minute back up, so I figured why not shop!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, it's been good ever since it opened! Great place to wait out the traffic if the antique stores downtown are all closed.

[@virginiacaston1456]

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I love the fun 70s coffee pot, the big enameled roasting pan in bright blue from the barn sale. I like the shape and handle on the Franciscan pitcher. Too bad about the crazing. I usually pick up the items that are not for sale. I drove a 1970 Cheville (not SS) 396, bored to a 405. Fun car. Have a very merry Christmas to you and yours. I'll be dog sitting for several families, 3 very large dogs, 3 small dogs, and my two labradoodles. 🎄 🎅 ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Merry Christmas to you and the dog pack! I thought the '70 Chevelle was the best of that model ever

[@beckysvintageandmore6002]

Well 3 is a lucky number if your oriental. They were cute too & the right price. The military book was cool! I want the Chevelle!

Thank you for sharing your adventures. I learn so much from your commentary,. I must say I also appreciate how you respond so positively to all the negativity. Your skin must be thicker than mine. Stay safe in your travels.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you! I figure that negativity may just mean people have questions or doubts, and that leads me to want to amplify.

[@sarahj.5970]

Oh George another wonderful Christmas present....I loved the off the beaten path tour and shop and commentary as always...loved the books and dish and pottery and good thoughts and humor and information...thank you thank you. No on the lamps..lol....and wow on the Baby Jesus,,,what a sad true reality often and I may of already said my mom's mom, my Mimi, was a Librarian...loved the books info and shop.

My generation has the pleasure of family books from 1800's. My own parents reserved the past generations & their books, treating them all w respect & tenderness. It was interesting to see them handled a volume & hear the sound made when replaced on the shelf.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. That old washboard is neat. I have my grandmother's washboard here, and it has glass in it, instead of the tin. Was the Eskimo Pie sign an old one? It caught my attention. That dresser...or was it a sideboard...was fantastic. I really liked it. The deep red candleholder and footed bowl, at 4:56, caught my eye. I've seen decanters done like that, but I've no idea who made them, or where they're from. Loved the Daguerreotype. I really like the ones in the gutta percha cases, with the velvet. Mom used to have some of those, but she sold them when we combined houses. There was a Time-Life book titled _The Age of the God-Kings_ that caught my eye. I wondered if it was about the pharaohs. If so, it would've had to come home with me. I have several books on heraldry, but all of mine are focused on coats of arms. I liked the green Czech decanter set. Too bad it was missing the stopper. Those figural lamps...Uh-Uh 😂 If that _Shadow in the Pines_ book was a teen mystery book, it would've likely come with me. Those were actually really good thrift stores. Thanks for taking us along to shop!

[@MyKingdomForAK9]

Good evening, @ConstellationPegasus. ☃️ Always enjoy reading your detailed thoughts. 🎄 The two items, at 4:56 , are retired Morrocan Spice Candle Holders, from PartyLite. 🇺🇲 As an aside, I once met a sales rep., for Eskimo Pie; he gifted me many certs., for free boxes of them. 😅 (I placed them in Christmas cards.☺️)

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@MyKingdomForAK9 Thank you! Thanks, also, for the info on the candleholders! I've seen decanters like that, but never any cordials to match. I'd have never guessed they were from PartyLite. From the look of them, I'd have guessed they were made in India. I should've been on the receiving end of your Christmas cards, after you met the Eskimo Pie salesman 😂

[@MyKingdomForAK9]

@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS LOL ☺️... Yes; that was fun giving them away❣️ 🎄 Have a Merry Christmastime! ☃️

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@MyKingdomForAK9 Thank you, and a Very Merry Christmas to you, too! 🎄

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi there! The old washboard already sold, I just found out today. I like the glass ones very much! The Eskimo Pie was a repro, I'd have highlighted it otherwise. The dresser was really pretty, wish I could've seen up close! I'm a big fan of early photography, it shows so much the styles of what was a very difficult era in American history. I think you're right about that Time-Life book, I really could use more info about ancient Egypt! Those figural lamps were great for target practice in my estimation. For once, the thrifting actually turned up some interesting older pieces!

[@katbunniekat1962]

I found Richard Nixon's Memoir at the thrift store, & it was signed! The value is all over the place on it. So idk what's worth. We do live the area where he grew up. I still feel like it was a good find. The book jacket was in pretty good condition too. Looking at them for autographs is a Great idea! Thank you George!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Same to you! We'll have fun in 2025

[@dawn.cheripaul3168]

I would look so cool in that Edsel Ranger

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You would! I'd ride with you in that

[@OriginalNethead]

03:50 The bracelet was (sigh) Avon. The library sale: if it's anything like here, barcode scanners got in there when it first opened and bought all sorts of stuff. I looked for things too old to have bar codes, before my weight limit ruled selling books out.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, I wish it was real but some Avon (including that piece) sells if you get it cheaply. I prefer pre-barcode anyhow!

[@galerae947]

That animal you were not sure of the purpose is a sponge holder for the kitchen sink.

How do you ship eBay orders when you are on the road seemingly all the time? I'm very curious into how you schedule your time and if you have a home base, and how many booths you have!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I usually do a flight of eBay items towards month-end or beginning of the month when I know I'll be around long enough to ship, or I take them with me on my travels and ship from the road. I do have a friend who helps me a lot with eBay, and he handles some of it too.

Hello, I wish to start investing, but I don't know where to begin. Is there any advice or contact for help?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

If you mean in antiques and vintage items, my advice is to find something you like and will hold for a period of time, perhaps something made with precious stones or metals that would have some intrinsic value as well. If you mean finance, that will be some other channel.
