Thrift Buying and Selling on FB Marketplace || week 3 || Working it!

[@PASwiftUTube]

You are amazing. Glad you are doing well with the street finds. Prayed for you and Scott at church today. I’m happy your crystal is still with you, it means so much to you, you should keep it. You will make the money you need with other things. Anne😄

[@joycemarsh2743]

Sofia you got so many nice things . you are so busy , you are an inspiration, xx

[@bubblesleef4415]

You should take the camera with you next time you’re driving around looking for stuff. Would love to see the stuff you didn’t take with you.

[@nancypeteja6560]

Sophia, you are so talented! Please keep YOUR crystal and sell the other!! It was meant to be! You are doing a great job! You will be Blessed.💖 👍 😉 🙏 I love your smile!! See you next time!

[@cinderellafan362436]

Really great finds, Sophia! These items will go quickly I am sure. Really like the crystal and bachelor’s dresser. You could turn this project into a profitable side business. GOD bless y’all. 😊

[@DreamMom90]

Lots of great stuff! That bathroom vanity was gorgeous! So happy for you. Sadly, crystal and china don't sell on any forum. (I love both and love to tablescape. ) No one wants them today. So you might as well keep your Waterford. Ironically, I have the water goblets called Lenox Monroe which is similar to what you showed except mine have a gold rim. They were my wedding crystal back in 1986. In your Home Goods box for $9.99, I think someone just put the glass or crystal candleholders in that box so you may want to look for a label on the candleholders. The description on the Home Goods box seemed like it was for decorative balls for a dough bowl or bowl of some sort. Good luck. You are doing great!

[@MsMopar69]

The Henkel Harris furniture is actually made in Winchester, Virginia, close to where I live. One of my good friends was a master carver for them. They are a high end furniture manufacturer and their pieces are highly sought after, especially in my area. Great find!!!

[@tomcat662]

Is it considered higher end than Suter furniture? Do you know if Suter is still sought after?

[@MsMopar69]

Suter is also high quality. I think it is better known in the Harrisonburg, VA or Richmond, VA where it is manufactured. Both Henkel Harris and Suter are great finds.

[@tomcat662]

@@MsMopar69 Thanks for your reply. My parents have lots of Suter. I no longer live in the region, so I don't know what is popular. The antique dealer was only interested in some pembroke tables.

[@mariejeanne9461]

Sophia I would keep your Family crystal and sell your street finds. It hurt to sell the crystal so keep it and sell your finds!! I think it does not sell because people do not want to hand wash, they just want to put it in the dishwasher and go. I, like you, love to to hand wash my things/my ancestors things. I think about them drinking and eating from these items that have been left to me and I feel it brings me closer to them. You are doing well Sophia. Good Luck!!

[@DreamMom90]

I agree! I have a cast iron pot that my mother in law used to make all of our family meals and holiday meals for some thirty plus years. She asked me what I wanted before she died. I have such fond memories of the food and good times. I cook with it a lot and always feel like she is with me in spirit. Peace to you my friend.

[@duncandy]

Wow, it's amazing what people put to the curb without donating it! Great finds! I hate that my local marketplace is just many folks overcharging for crap. The entire point is to get a bargain!

[@joh205]

I can't believe what people throw out. You are doing amazing Sophia, making money and saving items from landfill.

[@debideanna7808]

Think I counted about $680.!! Woo-hoo! You're not working it Sophia. You're KILLING IT!

[@Jo_WillowingSpirit]

Awesome job! You are one hard working woman who really take “My Great challenge “ to task! 👍🏻

[@YayaTo2]

Good call on not picking up anything upholstered/mattresses....simply because of bed bugs! You have great luck in your city! Keeping your whole family in my prayers!

[@mommargie2679]

"Wow" Sophia you are so blessed to have found all those beautiful item to sale; The Most High is so good, he is always there on time whenever We need Him!

[@Patricia.R.]

Excellent finds! Can’t believe what people are tossing out these days. We don’t have anything that good around here. Most of it is junk. We are in a similar situation and so I’ve begun cleaning out the barn and listing things on 5 Miles. Problem is we live so far out - I have to compromise and meet people that want to purchase. You really have found some good pieces. I am super proud of your focus and strength to be able to resist temptation to keep an item. I am afraid I won’t be that strong. Keep it up Sophia... y’all are going to do great.

[@CRebecca1944]

I can’t believe the people in your neighbor hood . They obviously have more money than sense. Lucky for you and your family.👍💁

[@amyhowell4000]

I can NOT believe the stuff people leave on the side of the road. As you said its crazy! and good on you for giving it a second life and making some money on the side. It is such a throw a way world theses days. Hope Scott is coping ok? big hugs to you all xxx

[@BonnieLeah]

you see miss Sophia, God is taking care of you and your sweet family.. I been prayin for you guys that God would make a way for you and your family.. And he is doing just that. Praise God and Thank you Sweet Jesus... This is awesome.. Keep the faith Miss Sophia.. May God continue to bless you and your sweet family...

[@reedreflection]

Making sure to watch all the adds without skipping. Every little bit helps. I like this new marketplace challenge.

[@karynb7781]

I watched twice, and I may watch it AGAIN! Seriously, I have a problem. I enjoy the flipping so much! I wish I heard the people picking up the pieces and enjoying their finds too!

[@lizy4898]

When I was just out of college I found a H&H coffee table at the thrift store for $40, solid cherry Shaker style that I love. It was so expensive for me but I bought that without hesitation. Still have it ten years later! Love the piece you found. 😍

[@kellyallin3007]

Wow. God was giving you Manna from heaven!!🙌🙌

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

I think the desk, Is really a sewing table it's lovely. The pair of classes did not come in the home goods box. I would take the glasses out and have a look at them

[@bluejay5531]

yes! I thought the same for the desk ? sewing table

[@JB-mv5tq]

There is an issue with cystal because it contains lead, a known carcinogen, which can leach into the drink over time, particularly wine and liquor, which are acidic. Children are particularly vulnerable. Also, the lead count varies and can be very high. I have a collection, too, and it sits in boxes because of my current health condition.

[@n2wabbit]

So fun! If I did not live several states away I would have wanted the green chest. Keep the mahogany chest for yourself Sophia, it is beautiful and is your style of nicer things.

[@jeannebowes2898]

We sell vintage four times a year. ALan once had a full time store. I love the Bachelor’s chest.

[@Terry8885]

I'm one of those people who would rather just put stuff on the curb than to mess with trying to sell it. Everything I put on the curb is gone the next day...no joke! I've put desks, tables, chairs, a bedroom set and more and the next day they are all gone! Where we live, we have to pay for bulk pickup....so...it's cheaper just to set it on the curb. Great finds Sophia.

[@cfinn9652]

Did you know that you can schedule your USPS packages for pickup during your regular mail delivery? It's free. Go online and schedule pick up the evening before and specify how many packages and where they will be located, such as front porch, back porch, ect. This saves so much time when you are selling on eBay! Great finds this week.

[@lindathorpe4387]

Wish I lived close to you, I would buy the mahogany piece! Beautiful!!

[@judyland-obrien4259]

You are showing all of us how to "hustle" with grace and elegance, Sophia! Your work ethic is commendable... we all need to be reminded that "crisis" is just a part of life. Wonderful rewards await you and your family. Blessings.

[@chubberb8676]

Wow, such lovely finds in your neighborhood! Great job Sophia! Good luck, I hope you make lots of dough!

[@carrierothamel6805]

You have such a good eye for your curb finds.....I wish I lived in a city that had bulk pick-up....it is so hard to declutter the big stuff without having a vehicle.....

[@serenitynoworganisingvanco370]

I'm loving this - the crystal flutes are a sign to drink more champers!

[@doremifasowhat858]

Maybe this is a selfish thought, but I think you should continue to do this even when you're past this hurdle. It's giving you great content for your channel, making you good money, AND keeping things out of a landfill at least for a little while longer. People don't put out such nice finds here but if they did I'd save them all and at LEAST donate them to a thrift shop where they can find homes again. 😅

[@dori1425]

God is blessings u with treasures to sell. Your enthusiasm is infectious and sweet. Sophia, you going to be all right! Mr. Husband don’t you worry God has bigger plans for you. ✨

[@saraludwick3097]

Doris Cruz that’s what I was thinking too!

[@juliedavis4542]

Wow! Unbelievable what some people just throw out but I'm very happy for you and happy you've been able to sell so many things already!

[@reneep9968]

OMGOODNESS! Unbelievable finds! You should contact local catering companies about purchasing your crystal. Blessings...

[@Tinamar65]

The mid-century desk is gorgeous!🤗💕

[@vanessaholland4574]

I'm so glad that you guys are doing good, God is good.

[@denisecarter5117]

Wowi wish our town did curbside pickup.

[@deborahbenjamin4490]

Wow you are doing so great! Your finds are just amazing! My husband and I used to sell many years ago just to supplement our grocery $. Back then we used to buy from flea markets and actions & sell at flea markets and antique stores. Now that my husband is wanting to retire, we have to find ways to supplement again, and was considering starting to sell again. I like how you are doing it, not having to deal with packing or shipping! & hopefully start developing my KZbin channel more. Also you are looking super! Blessings! ; ) ~ 💗~💕

[@judyo925]

Hi Sophia, I watched the ads. Hang in there girl, we love ya. Your channel is great.

[@scrapper900]

I would definitely start at $300 for the wood chest. It’s beautiful! Great finds !

[@eavening4149]

Quality content as always, Sophia! You are a phenom! So inspiring!

[@judithtitterington3126]

Hello from UK, the mahogany cabinet is lovely. What did your coffee taste like??? Quite a bit of lemon oil landed in your mug. Oops.goid luck with your sales.

[@jodit192]

Wow, those are very nice pieces. I can't believe people get rid of nice things like that. I guess One man's junk, is another man's treasure You are doing great!

[@donnawiseman9311]

Amazing! Those pieces you found are beautiful!

[@pearl811210]

You rock Sophia!!! Keep going girl. You are inspiring me to do something.:)

[@jillgrant7448]

That bathroom vanity is gorgeous. I would keep it and put it in your bathroom.

[@judyo925]

That's a great idea, it looks like it has more storage.

[@sallymay3228]

I’m so glad these items will never see a landfill. It is practically criminal to see things like that just trashed with no thought to their value. Sophia to the rescue👍

[@Storm2aRainbow]

wow girl you are finding some very cool stuff

[@gillianmuspic2337]

I cannot understand how people just throw these things away! Good for you to grab them and sell them. They get a second home and you get financial benefits. Great

[@b.wooten4505]

Does the first wood dresser have a Lammert’s furniture Co. brass tag?? If so it’s my family’s piece they sold and it’s a beautiful piece!!

[@ACGNikki]

Wow almost $700! Nice work!! :D You have a good eye for sell-able items.

[@bluejay5531]

Sophia that is amazing!!! and you are right, they are nuts, ha ha! What if you did keep your crystals, it may well be a sign? you can always decide later on to sell them if you really need to. A big huge hug, you are always my wonder woman grit super role model! Je te souhaite de tout vendre au max!! baci baci

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

Outstanding Sophia! You did fantastic. I like so many of the things you found and it is amazing what people throw away. I know it is extra work for you so I do hope you enjoy it some. Have a great week. This is alot of fun to see and also learn. Thank you!----Tressa Daigle

[@maryleeprince6158]

Wow!! So happy for you! 🎉🎉God provides!! Be sure to check the manufacturer date on the crib! It’s a felony to sell cribs made before 2011😉😉

[@mygreatchallenge]

Wow really? Thanks for that info.

[@JacquelineLP]

People don’t value old things anymore. WOW! Vanity sink is nice! We just picked up 3 dining room chairs for our recently acquired dining room table(we needed new chairs) I’m going to paint and reupholster them. I will be sharing that project on my channel soon! It’s always amazing what people throw out! Hay that’s fine with me I’ll take it and sell it! I agree! Oh those butterflies are cute! The glass tables are very cute! Your going great Sophia keep on keeping on! The purse is very cute! Your on a roll! 👍🏾💐💜(I could go on and on with the treasures you scored!) I’ll end it here. 😁

[@cellison9414]

Sofia, the mahogany chest is a outstanding find!

[@dorisw5558]

well, I got rid of my lead crystal too since I’m not using anything containing lead to actually touch food and I don’t want things that are just sitting in my cabinets collecting dust. maybe that is the reason why you’re having a hard time selling yours.

[@marisawatson6464]

I do believe that lead crystal is not dangerous.

[@dorisw5558]

Marisa Watson it depends. you shouldn’t use pitchers etc that has alcohol sitting in it for a long time. Decades ago they had studies that showed that lead leeches into the liquid. it probably doesn’t do that with short term use. also, the crystal was a gift to me at 14 for confirmation. It was never something I would have bought for myself and I never liked it

[@orsie200]

OMG! That dresser is amazing! I believe you should keep your crystal. I think it is a sign.

[@silviadiaz1248]

I wish i had a big house instead of a tiny nyc apt & could drive to buy that dresser! Its gorgeous!!

[@mygreatchallenge]

It s not that huge of a dresser. It s more like a bedside table.

[@luella2897]

Fantastic street finds! I wish I lived close to you, I love the "blanket chest" with metal panels!! I'm so very glad that you are doing well at selling your "finds" !! YAY !! Getting those mortgage payments saved up !!

[@Scifi-eh8fw]

Wow one persons trash really is another persons treasure. That’s awesome Sophia good for you 🤗😘

[@debsdotsdashesdoodlesdreams]

i wish i lived near you as I would have bought loads of stuff off you ... i love those plates/bowls with the bees on them! xx

[@clarencealexander4954]

Wished we lived closer love that mahogany chest would look great in my living room. We live in S.E. Indiana and you don't find that nice of stuff in the antique markets here. Good luck!

[@LeanneDickeyThibodeau]

I am so amazed at all the stuff y’all found streetside!!! Good job keeping an eye out for things. I’m loving these videos lol

[@grny28]

It's amazing the things people just throw away. Spring time is the perfect time for curb side collections. It seems to dwindle considerably as the hot days approach so grab all you can while the pickings are hot. You are doing a fantastic job.

[@tracegates8841]

truly. people live with these things all through the dark winter months and start to itch and want to purge as the weather gets warm and the light returns.

[@susanmunford821]

Holy mackerel, that stuff is amazing . Good finds and good profits to you and Scott. I continue to remember you in my prayers. Hugs and love.

[@Linda_68]

Would be really cool if you filmed when you going looking for the trash

[@annl4329]

Wow, great work Sophia.

[@emmacosgrove_]

These people are indeed crazy! Imagine throwing away that mahogany piece. You are doing great!

[@theresa6552]

This is such fun to watch! It's unbelievable what you find on the street in your area!

[@MemeS-sb2cq]

You are doing great!! Awesome finds!

[@grandmaofthree897]

You are giving me the bug! We live in such a small area but have always loved doing exactly what you are doing! Great finds! I would want to keep them!

[@Moonlight-co4hs]

Your finding great items Sophia. Put a little extra on the selling price. Good luck with what you are doing.

[@RebelAlliance42]

You inspire, Sophia! ❤ hope you guys are doing well xx

[@kandycebeeks7056]

Wow! I can’t believe what people are putting out on curbside! Those crystal glasses? Amazing

[@Edu_Kate]

Yes, those were so beautiful. I like simple patterns.

[@doremifasowhat858]

I don't think those two glasses were 9.99 I don't think they came in that package. Bowl filler is stuff like pine cones or cinnamon sticks that you put in a bowl as decor. 😅

[@lizy4898]

doremifasowhat omg I was wondering what "bowl filler" is, tho I knew it wasn't glasses! 😅

[@rivermist80]

Good to see this. The way things are going at my job I think the potential is there for layoff in a few months so always good to be aware of what to do till another job can be found.

[@christyroberts9181]

Love this, Sophia! Such beautiful items that were headed for the trash. Thanks for sharing.

[@simonaw.1215]

For the Rossignol Ski's, Marker is just the brand of the binding

[@mygreatchallenge]

Do you have a value for those. I don t know anything about skis.

[@tracegates8841]

​@@mygreatchallengeOlder straight skis such as those probably wont go for much to someone who loves to ski as the engineering styles have changed much to shorter, wider curved skis with safer bindings. These you have would be marketed toward the pal of the skier who has no equipment (ie cheap pickings) because they would then have to buy boots which are always more expensive. You MIGHT get $20. I Hope for your sake more, but if you don't sell them, don't feel bad about donating them. Please prove me wrong & get more. :)

[@simonaw.1215]

The value depends on the model number. The binding can also be used at modern carving skies

[@dee4174]

What a throw away world. Great for you, but a bit shocking all the same. You are doing great, God is with you in this. Sending love from UK. X

[@marilyncasas6679]

Wow Sofia you did great on all those finds. And best of all you were able to sell them at the price you wanted. Great job!👍

[@wayriknik]

Great finds. Really love the mahogany. So glad it's going well.

[@yazzislife]

I’m so jealous of all the great furniture you find in your area. Loving these videos and good luck with everything

[@lindacruikshank2656]

So cool Sophia, the crib is worrisome though. They usually are not able to be resold

[@mygreatchallenge]

Yeah. I get the feeling but there are a lot on the marketplace.

[@patriciadudzik6440]

Prayers for you all w great respect and love for you and your family

[@tomcat662]

I LOVED the antique cast iron plant stand. Don't sell it too cheap!

[@christineandreason6347]

Sophia! Please keep the Men's Mahogany dresser. It was made for you and you will regret not keeping it. You can always sell it later if you change your mind.

[@doremifasowhat858]

Christine Andreason Her family needs the money now. I'm sure she's already torn up about it. She needs encouragement to sell, not keep. 😅

[@tonithorson3399]

People get lazy easy to set it out to get picked up we don't have that option to do that here in Washington state I take my unwanted stuff to the Seattle children's hospital thrift store were the proceeds go to uncompensated care

[@karynb7781]

OK, I'd seriously be giddy finding these treasures and bringing back the luster. They are so Beautiful.

[@MilenaDr]

Some people took 27 flying boogie too much seriously 😂😂

[@kellyschutte2252]

Use USPS click and ship from home

[@cgd1125]

I never see those kind of finds in our area. That's crazy people are throwing them out! I really want to play all the commercials to help you. I don't know if you know one of them was 48 minutes long. I had to skip it because we're going out.

[@brendahanks7265]

ive been watching all the commercials to help you out Sophia but I have to agree 49 minutes is too long. I just don't have the time. great finds too!

[@viviancunssuarez]

Here in South America comercials are 2 or 3 minutes long. I'm not skipping them, hope it helps

[@cgd1125]

That's what ours usually are too. This was about knowing what vegetables have in them that's not good for you and it was 48 minutes! Never saw any like that and I want to let them run too. @@viviancunssuarez

[@jeannebowes2898]

Henkle Harris is def high end! Virginian style. I woul def buy from you if I was close!

[@shellyleach3377]

Great finds Sophia!!!! Your doing great selling these items!!!!

[@lilred9483]

It's amazing what people throw away! Mom the Ebayer dumpster dives and she has found Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, Money etc. I think she pretty much decorated her house from her finds.

[@kayepperson189]

I never see good stuff on curbs. Ur so lucky!

[@kimmcneely2097]

You should totally keep the vanity for your bathroom
