Thrift 'Till You Drop!

[@jeanettalpn]

I love it when you “break in” and do a teaching moment, whether it’s on price or what the object is. Knowledge is power when trying to run a business. Thanks Scott!

[@suzanncollins4595]

I really like this format with the inserts and learning moments. Excellent presentation and explanation of why you go thrifting. I have learned so much!

[@TheThrillofTheThrift]

Thank you so much for this video Scott! I’m so glad that you addressed these things with everyone so they will hopefully understand a little better 😁. I received my awesome item today and your wonderful addition to the package! Thank you very much my friend! I will cherish it ♥️

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh I'm so glad. That little extra is actually Art Deco and date to the 1930's made in Germany. I knew you would love him! I'm also sure you understand fully what I'm trying to convey in this video. I love my viewers and their comments but it's important to remember that you and I have a very specific focus when we shop for resale. If I bought every antique and vintage items that I saw every day.....I'd have enough "stuff" to fill the Baltimore Mansion.

[@nevillekarl8657]

I learn a lot from U about the things i like and collect

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Yes...in the little Imperial glass "breakaway" I mention Northwood instead of Imperial. The mouth was running faster than the brain. I'd also like to point out what appear to be a "crack" in the bottom of the Imperial bowl I show in the video. This is NOT a crack. That mark is called a cooling mark which is a string-like inclusion in glass caused as the hot glass cools. It's often erroneously called a “straw mark.” That is a common type of slight imperfection found on older glass. It has no effect on the value. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a crack and a cooling mark unless you have had much experience and years of handling glass up close and in person. I'd like to thank the "old time" collectors who taught me the difference well over 30 years ago when I was a young collector just starting out in the business. Yes....I was age 19 when I sold at my very first antique show and I started going to flea markets and auctions with my great uncle when I was 10. I have so many fond memories of family and friends long gone who taught me so very much.

The Old Curiosity Shop 😂

[@JustAGirl-xz3mt]

I so agree with Sheila ~ Why can't people just watch and enjoy you ~ if they have an issue, stop watching... Ugggg. And when you were at the store explaining to everyone about your sourcing ... I understand some might not understand our business but they can be a bit kinder with the comments. Much love Scott

[@truthneverchangeswakeup2762]

I'm so sorry u have to defend yourself. I asked u a question about my collecting and I so appreciated ur reply. So I get it. I still love ur channel and know what u are looking for when I see something you would buy too SELL. kathleen Pacific Northwest 🕊️

[@natashasemrau3670]

This is your business, Mr Scott! I understand cuz of my past in the LUXURY BUSINESS. Sometimes people don't understand the resale business, and think you are Macy's. I am so jealous of your thrift store content. I never see that much good stuff around here. The better stuff usually gets put into a antiques section for higher prices. Well, good day kind sir and Salem!🐐❄⛄⛄🌫🌫💙🌬🌬🌬💙💙💙🌫🌫⛄⛄❄❄❄🐐🐐🐐❄❄⛄⛄⛄🌫🌫💙💙🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬💜💜💜💜💜🌬🌬🌬💙💙🌫🌫⛄⛄❄❄🐐🐐🐐🐐❄⛄⛄🌫🌫💙💙🌬🌬🌬💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌬🌬💙💙💙🌫🌫⛄⛄❄❄🐐🐐🐐🐐❄⛄⛄🌫💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌬🌬💙💙🌫⛄⛄❄❄🐐🐐💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@laurie4275]

I love the educational information.

[@robincochran6390]

Love it when you break in. Please don’t stop.

[@dloveofgod8269]

Me too.

[@jeanined9060]

Scott, I don’t find the break ins annoying at all. I love them! The more you explain, the better. Really really appreciate your sharing your knowledge with us! I love to learn so thank you so much!

[@lindabullock6159]

Love this format. Love it when you teach us.

[@THEWIELDBOYS8700]

I like this as soon as we were referred to as, loved ones! I'm down with that

[@mollyk.4031]

Scott, I vote for you to continue to break in and do your little "sidebars". I think they're very informative about the decision you're making right in the moment. I don't just watch your videos for the fun factor (although you are hilarious) but because I learn so much. Sincerely, "A loved one"

[@debrahowsden1217]

Hey Scott! I personally enjoyed this “something different” shopping trip, and all the information shared. As a life-long learner, I know that the teacher makes a difference. That’s why you’re at the top of my list!

[@blackberrythistletea1534]

I just appreciate you taking me shopping with you‼️

[@judibess6173]

Like this format, Scott, very informative. I always enjoy your comments as I learn so much. Loved the purple candlesticks, three oddballs is a collection! I often picked up singles to mix and match for an eclectic look and examples of same. The varying heights of 3s, such as brass or glass, look really nice in an asymetrical setup on the mantel. But I'd leave that tree for Halloween, LOL! TFS.....😄

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Awesome Judi and I totally agree with you about mixing oddballs like lone candlesticks. A small grouping really looks nice together.

[@Annie36526]

Like the side bars! Like the being selective

[@evamarie6090]

Yes I like the info break ins, it's like what I do when I shop and look up items. Totally agree in being more selective I've picked up some real duds and had to re donate after these poops sat in my store for months. Thanks for all the valuable tips.

[@kristinacragerud4477]

Thank you Scott! I love shopping with you!

[@babydoe42]

I love the side bars, course I am a reseller. Great video.

[@crickettmoon7082]

Hello Dahhhlink, I applaud your realism and love the opportunity to learn from you. I am not a resale person or a youtuber, as both seem saturated. I just watch to learn. We share the same tastes,. 1850-1950 historically beats my drum. Fantastic job. I love everything about this channel. Ginger snaps to Vaseline Glass. Cheers!

[@lpeterson4287]

Great video. And I enjoy the side bars..educational. 😁

[@Laura-vv6cf]

Great info from a great businessman. I enjoyed the video cutaways. That tree at the end was as bad as the mermaid you bought for your Mom! You have a great sense of humor!!! Would love to hear about the business you had with your Dad some time.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Thanks Laura I'd love to tell you.

[@carolm3468]

Thank you for your comments that educate and your photo inserts that help us understand the value or lack of value of these items.

[@Patricia.R.]

I thoroughly enjoyed this style of shopping video! I gain so much insight from watching and...listening! Can’t wait to get to the end and see what you ended up purchasing...😉

[@victoriacaddy1287]

This is my first time watching your channel and I'll definitely be a regular. I love how you break in with specific information. You're a great teacher! Thanks.

[@NewChapterVintage]

Teacher insomnia has begun. 😑 “I’ll watch “The Old Curiosity Shop!” Relaxing, entertaining, informative-allows me to turn off September teacher thoughts and concerns! Happy to hear the information about your thought process when shopping.

[@maryferrell4360]

I love your videos so much and how that u share your knowledge. I thought what the sun did to the candlesticks made them even more lovely. Looks like you work hard and it seems to me that it would be hard just to film and try to look at the shelves. Thank you for sharing. Really makes my day. 😊

[@badbag9625]

You are a wise man. Thanks for the lessons. Enjoy your finds as well . Be safe my friend ...

[@mikki3961]

Scott, you are too kind. It's your channel and what you purchase to sell in your shop is no ones business. Thank you as always for providing knowledge! Much love to you and Salem.

[@cherylstokes8324]

Scott you are a wonderful teacher , love going with you on your adventure , learning from you is a plus. Thank you . God Bless You .

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Thanks so much

[@joycemccrory1392]

You are showing and explaining the mechanics of what a dealer does. Thank you! This is very helpful to many people who are not in the business.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

Greetings! I really enjoyed this shopping trip Scott. I found it very informative and helpful as well as entertaining, as always. You are a joy to watch!

[@katherinehunter5789]

I like it when you break in. It’s very informative.

[@dianajemison105]

Sleestaks!!! Land of The Lost was one of my favorites! Those kids on that tree may be creepier than the sleestaks. Yikes! It is amazing to me how much vintage and antique are in that thrift store. I'm in Houston, the fourth largest city in the US. I can barely find a piece of Pyrex much less in good condition or with its lid. There's just nothing really. I recently discovered Erwin Knowles on someone's video and fell in love. It was shaped the same as the dinnerware you found but a different pattern. I don't know what it's called but has a red rim. I just loved it. I'm going to find it someday, I hope. Wish me luck. Stay warm up there.

[@LindaFoyle]

I watch you for all your knowledge, enjoy you! I realize it takes time to explain things to us, and I thank you!

[@bettybaca6782]

I have part of my mom’s purple glass collection. I love it and still buy when I can. Love your videos.

[@tonyfurtado5595]

Another great video! I love hearing all of the information and learning new things.

[@mjmj2860]

I like how you do that pricing thing thanks for taking us along! 🐱😍🐺

[@bohemiannana]

Love your explanations. They were very helpful.

[@lindahusson4206]

Love Love when the glass turned purple. You have great thrift stores. Here in Florida hard to find good stuff!

[@helenm8976]

I think this is lots of fun. Thank you

[@kringles65]

I understand. Have been in 3 brick and mortar locations. When you buy, it's for resale and usually era related. It's different from what you buy for yourself. Love your channel.

[@craftyjacki5046]

Scott, I loved your video. I just started reselling again. I had an EBay store many years ago. My parents had an antique store in the early 70s. I'm trying to educate myself. Buying trends have changed. So far I'm having trouble finding those items that sell for more. So, I buy the smaller items. But I hate taking photos and listing. So I am going to me more mindful in My shopping. Thank you, you're a great person to shop with.

[@thomasallmond9744]

Wanda Allmond. This video was lots of fun and a good teaching video. I liked the way you looked up the different pieces on eBay. Made a lot of sense!!

[@a.curiouscat7729]

Well, I absolutely love the purple crystal glass. It’s my favorite color and I think it’s prettier than the plain clear!!! 💜

[@evelynrudd818]

I like the cut aways, you might not be buying a lot but you are talking about the difference in value, just do your thing that's why we watch your videos. Thank you Scott.

[@readingwithintent]

I love your videos so informative, and I'm a reseller so I know exactly what you mean about being selective. I never buy pyrex unless it's a very rare piece or saught after colour. I'm trying to buy smart as well. Keep the great videos coming!

[@kayceehawkins246]

That was so entertaining! And that last ceramic piece, yikes!🤪

[@lorialderman4518]

Thanks for the video...really enjoyed it. I appreciate you taking me thrifting with you.

[@neldagay4613]

Another great video! You have a wonderful business and I love seeing all of your finds! Stay awesome and fun 😊❤️

[@rubialonso7929]

I loved all the information you gave us. Great video.

[@laurensouthgate2458]

I enjoy the sidebars and education on things please dont stop and i really like your stores.

[@shawnblevins2138]

Scott, I have no clue why I'm seeing this so late, 12/26, but I absolutely LUV this video. For all of us newbie's out there, (to me) this is the best way to learn!! Please continue this style, much 💞.

[@FindsByPirjo]

I love the presentation of your videos so much. You can tell me anything and I listen and I learn quite a bit from your videos. Thank you Scott, keep of hunting and selling! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@annmariemarin5513]

These thrifting videos are my favorite. Thanks!

[@leirobinson3103]

I always just watch for “curiosity”as to what you buy! You give great explanations and I always learn! I totally understand what you are doing! Appreciate what you do!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Thank you so much!!!

[@marilynschroeppel2196]

Thanks for the lecture I mean video. Lol. Enjoy thrifting with you.

[@triciawasko7496]

Enjoyed this format for a change. Thanks!

[@MW-ov5zo]

I love the educational PSAs. Very helpful. It's definitely a different mindset when shopping for resale vs shopping for personal use.

[@amandakestenbaum9720]

Like the way you did this video. I live in England and don’t resell but could see the sense in the way you pick things. Some more like this please

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@dloveofgod8269]

Thank you Scott! Yes, I'm the casual shopper & I truly appreciate what you do as also wonderful entertainment along with chatting. 💝

[@dloveofgod8269]

And I enjoy learning!

[@dloveofgod8269]

I keep losing bids in your shop but glad the items are getting a home where they'll hopefully be cherished. I'm getting to love depression glass & the red am looking for special tea set.

[@cherylmellblom9736]

I like the break ins as I learn from them. If I collected crystal candle sticks, I would want the purple glassware that purpled in the sun over time. I can understand why you want pairs of candlesticks, but I often take my candle sticks of all sizes and shapes and sitting on a sideboard they look wonderful.

[@annettebauerle5276]

Lots of good information. Thanks.

[@jayneneewing2369]

Loved the deco dishes for me, that is. Rambling, side bars, go right ahead, Scott. Feels like I’m talking with a friend.

[@maggiecousineau1877]

I loved the crystal that turned a purple hue.

[@becca66087]

I like these informative videos. And I love the glass when it turns purple!!

[@WeezyWeez1984]

Very informative video and alot of pretty things. Love the sleestak at the end 😁💚

[@jackiehines3349]

People gotta complain, don’t they? Do you and forget them!!! We love you just as you are!!

[@bevsprague1731]

My beautiful yellow Vaseline cake plate came in the mail today right on time. I love it.☺

[@elderlypoodle9181]

A wonderful course ! I don’t buy and resell but I want to gain knowledge in anything I’m interested in. I’m riveted. Your a trustworthy teacher. And yes I do love the patterned glass. I have a collection of Art Deco fruit cups. All different patterns yet gorgeous. They seem to all group together. I’m looking forward to my walnut clock shelf I just ordered. Thank you for finding that. And thank you for the glimpse of the hideous Christmas tree figurine with horrible figures clinging on to it !! 😂

[@ilovevintagestuff8817]

I liked how you teach us about the pricing and stuff. Thank u.

[@kimmathews2957]

Love your new format....love the break in's with all the information you tell us

[@thymenabottle2515]

Please keep doing the teaching moments. Thank you so much!!

[@catewallwork3653]

I'm really enjoying your format and restraint

[@susanneflaherty8681]

I love your rambling. Feel like I’m with you shopping.

[@Dakotawinks]

Love, love the candlesticks. I actually liked them in the purple from the sunlight. I couldn't have passed them by. Great video!!

[@dloveofgod8269]

I think the crystal is nice even with the purplish color ; I love having something that's lived through the ages. Very nice candlesticks. Thank you for taking us shopping with you. 🤩

[@tmarie317]

I like seeing the eBay listings for the items you pass on. Very helpful for small-time resellers like me. Your videos are great because you teach as well as show. Thanks!

[@Gdalman]

Thank you Scott. I always learn something from your videos. This time it was the purple glass candle holders and the cooling mark. I will admit I thought you missed the crack in the bottom of that piece. I was so glad to read your explanation in the comment section. Enjoy everything about your videos. They always make me smile. Love to Salem.

[@hollynelson543]

We tune in for that smile.yes the antiques are good too.lol

[@itsacinemalife5460]

Your narration is what makes your video's, don't stop doing it! If I dug the pattern of the egg cups I would use them as candle holders.

[@sevenbells96]

You're so hilarious!!!!!!!!!! Love everthing about your channel. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!! THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@helenbailey8419]

I must have woken my neighbour laughing so much at the end clip with the Christmas tree and the musical ad ons.Oh Scott,you should be in show biz.From hilarious to the lovely organ recital(how ever brief)plus your info on items..brilliant.It tickled me

[@wendypagot3956]

New watcher, loving your channel!!!! I live in southeast Ohio, in a triangle between where Fiesta, Fostoria, Imperial and Hazel Atlas glass were all once produced. I don’t know much about glass other than I love it so I’m very much enjoying your information!!!!

[@biancagoodnight1750]

Going out and picking can be overwhelming. But I am with you "find something that has more value".Less work for the seller. I sold a entire rot iron fence. $1500 before 6am 💥💥💥 boom.My work was done ✔weight on truck 🚚 but worth it. It's a education watching ur videos. I've learned alot on glass. Ty for the work & effort enjoy all of the content.

[@loisfolk5492]

Love the old purple glass.

[@janicewalker9719]

Oh Scott! I really think you should have got the flip flop candle holders. They were lovely. Hahahaha! I completely understand why you do what you do. Not that it matters, you have my approval. 👍

[@laurasimpson2870]

I loved this video. I watched it three times while I was cleaning the kitchen( it was messy) and then I sat down with a coffee and a notebook and watched again. Thanks for all the info and wise words. I resell in a booth and I’m prone to buying to much stuff for me.

[@paulagill555]

Thanks for all the info great to know I would come home with boxes of stuff be selective but occasionally buy something you love . 👍

[@jofayewalkerwalker2332]

I find your comments to be extremely interesting and I loved your off sides information. Your explanation of the noise made perfect sense. Your nemesis must be overcome. Good work. I love it.

[@nancyevans7095]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Love the purple candlestick holders. Love to Salem.

[@kathyprusak2762]

Educate me love having my brain fed . Ramble on , interested in the older stuff. Some people just gotta find something. Makes them feel superior. Keep on keeping on . TFS 🤗

[@Lizg1128]

Scott I appreciate you taking the time to explain “the method to your madness” so to speak but honestly I just love coming along for the thrift haul 1. because I have learned so much from you and 2 you just crack me up lol. Truth is keep doing what you do no explanations needed for those of us that love your thrifting style and enjoy your hunt of 30s-60s era treasures. I enjoy watching and enjoy my own treasure hunting but purchase from your shop as a show of support for what you do and will continue to support you.

[@christhompson9486]

A dual purpose egg cup/sherbet bowl. Like the purple color on the candle sticks. Personally I think the clear glass ones are drab.

[@mamiebobb4173]

For my own personal NON-BUSINESS tastes, I would have purchased all of those 'purpled' candlesticks and kept them together like that. Imagine a center piece on your table at Easter!

[@cynthiaericsson]

I learn a little more with each of your videos. Thank you!

[@SuperiorGirlVintage]

Loved everything you said! I just love listening to you. Enjoyed everything about this video! 🤗

[@JacksonvilleTammy]

Scott, I learn a lot from your ramblings. Don't change a thing.

[@JCcreates927]

We love the sidebars, please keep them up. I am learning a ton watching your videos. I live in an area that has very little of any vintage dish ware that is in good shape.

[@deborahmerriman2314]

i love the shop with you vids i get to look at thing i would love to buy but i do not spend any money lol when you asked What did you see first the spangler or the other thing i had to laugh because i saw the popcorn bucket first ha ha

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Ha ha ha ha!!!!!

[@user-Annie65]

I like when you break in the video. I appreciate learning bits of information. I think the purple color in the candlesticks is beautiful and unique. Enjoyed the video.

[@pamelap.123]

I learned today that the many thrifted crystal candlesticks I have up in the window will get purple! They throw rainbows all over the room on a sunny day- love them.

[@tennesseegrannydebbie3384]

Very good video!!!! It's been a lot of years since I had a booth in an Antique Mall and things have sure changed. Sometimes I think I would like to get back in....AND THEN I WATCH SOME OF Y'ALL ON KZbin and I talk myself right out of it!!!😁. But I still love to "aquire" andenjoy👵💖🦋. And it was so nice to hear you refer to all of us as "loved ones"...That's almost like being family😁⚘👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👵👴
