Thrifting for Vintage Goodwill Bargains & Treasures | Buying & Reselling

[@trinadennewitz7892]

My favorite part...Sue throwing all the lamp shades in her cart and the guy behind her laughing @ 5:07. Too funny!!

[@lorali9669]

Mine too! Love shopping with these girls!

[@CircusMaximusFamily]

I love Sue!! The kitten plate rant ... YES!!! You guys rule.

[@PossumWrangler]

I know this is an older video but I just want to tell you how much you and Sue remind me of my father and I. I spent most of my growing up years visiting Yard and Estate sales with my Daddy, absorbing his knowledge as we found stuff and while he talked to others. In fact it wasn’t just my Dad but everyone I came across who had knowledge about various antiques and collectibles, as well as researching the things I loved. As an adult I started thrifting, yard saling on my own and with kids in tow as I started a family, my kids also enjoy accompanying Papa on his weekend yard sale trips. Recently I was kind of amazed to realize how much my kiddos are learning and absorbing while “picking”. My youngest is 7 and the oldest 17(both girls) with two boys stuck in the middle lol......last year my oldest came to me and asked me if she could start selling items online that she picked while out with whoever would take her. She has been phenomenally successful at it, she puts 80% of the money in savings and the rest back into picking....she wanted to save enough to insure she wouldn’t have to work her first year in college and could focus on her classes(college, books and dorm are already covered for her). She’s been so successful that she won’t have to work her entire four years in college......however she now has the bug and plans to continue her online business while in college to have “fun” money. Since noticing their sister and her venture, my other three have started to pick for resale and although they depend on Momma for listing, they all clean up and photo their own items and pack(with a little help) themselves. They are not quite so good at saving for extended time periods yet, but they are great at saving with a goal in mind(like the newest American Girl Doll or Game System) and that alone makes me so proud. It’s a great way to bond with your kiddos and for them to learn without realizing, and we have a great time comparing what we found, what it’s worth, etc.

I love to watch you two. I've learned to see Lamps in a whole different "Light". :P

I'm addicted to your "Tube," it's like my shopping guilty pleasure without the shopping or the guilt - Bonus - girl's day out being goofy. Keep shoppin' and shootin' I'm hooked.

Love watching you two shop together. Wouldn't miss it for the world . So much fun . Peace & love 👍☺✌💜💚💛💙

"stick some flowers in his but" 😂 That orange, green, blue vase is amazing! Apparently you can't have too many lamp shades. Sues Laws of Thrifting 👏

[@laurahopwood3332]

Thanks for showing us your great finds. You and Sue make such a fun pair! And thanks so much for the inspiring talk on ‘what not to buy’. Hopefully people will hear and take note!

[@TheVelvetKitten]

I feel better now. :) The doll clothes were so so cute! And the owls! And I loved the lamps that are pretenders and those that are not talk ...

[@cosyreadingsocks6590]

Love Sue and her traveling measuring tape 😂

[@jenizzy82]

You’re one of my favorite youtubers now. I love you and Sue’s friendship

[@kathrynlay7428]

Love the banter about the collectors plates. A friend went to a local thrift store, hurried home and called me about 9 Gone with the Wind collector plates with boxes for $9 each. Said they looked up on phone and saw they were valued at $400 for 10 and I should hurry and buy them. I carefully explained their no-value value. Lol

[@tamaranichols6821]

I just found you about three weeks ago. I have caught up with your videos since then and am going backwards. Between you and Sue, so many tips are shared to help your viewers.

[@carolthomas8743]

I love my Vera Bradley purses too. I get mine at Goodwill most of the times. I am so glad I decided to sell the sunflower measuring spoons. I just love watching u and Sue shop. She is so knowledgeable. Love her.

[@claudiabudavich3436]

I wash my Vera Bradley in the washer and then air dry , they come out beautiful

[@carlenestreasuretrove6931]

Yay - Sue is back. Glad your scheduled worked out to be able to create a video with her.

[@Ihavethreeaxolotls]

“Girl you got everybody’s mileage” Oh my goodness I got the biggest smile from that. 🤣❤️

[@reginakeen9606]

You two complement each other oh so well. Glad to see you Sue:)

[@ruraledition]

If you throw those grotty Vera May bags in the wash, they scrub up fabulously clean and fresh smelling.

[@rhondamiller548]

Nice to see Sue. Awsome video! Beutiful kitty Sue. We have 3 fur babies. You guy's would have a blast up here in ND. Some of our stores price things so nice.

[@gothempress]

I like Mr. Dude at 5:06 having a wee chuckle about the Sue Decision Making Process. He's my spirit animal.

[@SellingMyCraft]

I love sue's enthusiasm. Great partner for thrifting!

[@AlannaZackrison]

I LOVE YOU SUE!!! you are just so precious and love your sassy personality. seeing you in the videos always makes my day!

[@janiesmithling4518]

Fun to see both of you having fun. Love thrifting. Bought a bridge lamp yesterday and it's going to need rewiring- I do not trust the cord hanging from it!!! So when ya all get that rewiring video up and running I'll be ready! PS I agree with Sue about the boxes. It makes you want to keep good stuff.💓

[@DJoy222]

So weird I LITERALLY was just thinking- I need a little Lamp Lady right now, wonder when she posts?! And boom the notification pops up that second! 😁

The ‘$2.50 worth of cute’ dresser scarf looked like it has a tatted edging. Beautiful. I love tatted items and the skill to do that is lost today. Great find.

[@thriftypickins9990]

ROFL I just got to the part about the plates. Sue reminds me of my friend Marie, if she says something bad about someone, she always come back with something positive LOL.. I love Sue

[@millana6292]

You don’t know how much I wish you were here with me. My eye for things is also fantastic, and I have so much stuff, but I scared to open up an Etsy shop. I wish I had someone to do the listing and delivering for me.

[@saragreges774]

I found you on Facebook and now I’m obsessed with your channel! You are my spirit animal! I love thrifting!!!! Keep making these videos! ❤️

[@carolemorgan6285]

Hi Sue! I have been watching you and Jocelyn on this channel for a long time. However, when I was watching on my TV I could not leave any comments. Now that I have been binge watching episodes on my laptop. I am watching this one for the 2nd time. I LOVED playiing Barbies with my best friend and neighbour, Linda. (She is still one of my best friends today, so that is around 50 yrs) Back in the 60s and early 70s our Moms got together and made us a bunch of Barbie clothes. My Mom knitted and crocheted, and Linda's Mom sewed, between them they made us a ton of beautiful clothes and accessories. I realize that as a serious collector you want specific clothes for different dolls. I am the 9th of 10 children and my Mom always made occasions so special (no matter how scarce money was at the time). Now that you know all that, hopefully you will understand where this is coming from. As I watched this video and saw you rummaging through that bag of Barbie clothes and heard you say you were going to throw away the crocheted items, I held back a little gasp that had formed in my throat. I understand the homemade items are of no value to you, but what about washing them up and re-donating them. Better yet, Juliette was thrilled to sell that fish for sick kids, how about helping her and Jocelyn start a new charity. Juliette can search the thrift stores (Mom is always there anyways...LOL) she could ask Mommy to buy her Barbie knock offs etc. and they could be washed and cleaned up. It would be another way for the 3 of you to bond even more. When they are all cleaned up, and you dress them in clean clothes put them in a zippy bag and add another outfit or two for the girls to change the Barbies into. You may also find little accessories or furniture etc. along the way you could add as well. I know you and Jocelyn are both crazy busy so why not ask Jocelyns Dad, the baptist minister to announce it at his church I am sure there must be at least a couple of people who are bored (or disabled etc., like me) and would love to get involved in a project like this. If they do not sew or knit or crochet etc. maybe they could handwash Barbies and clothes, iron clothes etc. Maybe there might even be some woodworkers who could make some furniture and more. Maybe Jocelyn could even go with Juliette to the toy section and buy them some lamps....LOL or little plastic kittens, puppies and more..... Now that you have maybe 12 to 20 zippy bags of Barbies and accessories ready, drop them off at your local children's hospital for them to give out to the patients. The girls can play with them in the hospital to keep their spirits up and when they take them home it will be a GOOD memory from their hospital stay. New motto for you......Buy- Wash-Give Away- Repeat! Note: If your local hospitals will not take them because they are used, there are many other children's charities (Like Christmas gifts for underprivileged kids, children in shelters, children in care who are waiting for foster familes etc .)

[@jessicacolvin6360]

I love watching Sue examine and explain things. Happy to see her back. Watching you guys together is so much fun

[@lizjones9195]

Jessica Colvin I don't. She hasn't got a clue what she's talking about. She ruins the videos

[@tigermoon44]

Nice to see Sue again. Loved the owls and the little white kitty. Thanks for sharing!

Look, squirrel! I get distracted by everything too! Especially when they are loaded with good stuff!😉😂

The owls @15:38 are the see no evil trio... though there is a fourth little known member ... do no evil (covers groin area) 🤪

Love your vids. Always entertaining. But, especially love your friendship with Sue. Different ages, but you two mesh wonderfully together. Adore watching you two interact.

Those "collector plates" I use to create ornate, Outdoor bird feeders... some, I lay flat, others, I use as a "back drop" to a birdbath... add a mirror her or there.

I just found your channel recently and made a $185 profit from my first time reselling a $15 thrift store treasure hunt score, by following your advice. I've had some health issues the last few years so anyway to make some extra cash is always awesome. You rock girl!

Sue is vicious with that tape measure! She had that lamp shade measured before I even saw what she had in her hand. Lol. 😁

[@rosemariehomeyerbente1832]

The Bradford Exchange will buy back any plate for the original price. It’s in their purchase pitch. I haven’t tried it but it was the only way I could put art on my wall when I first got married in 1976.

[@joniferris8869]

I love your videos but I also like collectors plates, in fact I have a huge room with a very very high ceiling in the kitchen and will be decorating it with the plates and it will look beautiful, because I like them and that is all that matters to me!

[@rosemariehomeyerbente1832]

I purchased my first two items for resale from Savers. Holy moly are they NUTS! The prices are above retailers. I got one item @ 50% off and another for 30% of or else I would have left empty handed. I’m going back on Sunday for a bit of a sale to see if I have enough to put on my ETSY shop. Wish me luck. Thanks for the wonderful education. You have opened my eyes to different things. Welcome back Sue.

[@moeman2213]

I really enjoy all of your videos. Very entertaining. Sue is great in your videos but so are your kids and drew. Keep the videos coming and can't wait for the ground to thaw to get some digging in.

Have a hoard of Vera Bradley from local auction. You can put them in washer. Great to see Sue...love her even more cause she has a cat!

[@Laurieb2851]

I never thought for a minute you guys had a problem with your friendship. Obviously, we've missed you and Sue as a team - but here you are! I need to start taking some pictures of some of the items I have considering selling on-line. I've found some great lamps. Not long ago, I came across some lamps which are likely bed-side size lamps. They looked to be brass, but when I got them home and got ready to polish them - I never got to the unblemished brass of the lamp because someone apparently covered the whole lamp base with a varnish of sorts, and so I'm kind of stuck with them for now. Maybe I will rewire them, maybe I'll end up kicking them to the curb and not do a thing with them - take them back to where I got them (Goodwill). I don't want them for anything at our house. I do love lamps and have some great ones - not necessarily of great value, but there's some value to them. I bought two Gone with the Wind style lamps in Fenton Hobnail. I would be great at fixing some of the dings on the chalk-base lamps if the damage isn't too bad. I haven't seen anything in the way of a chalk lamp yet - but I don't get out to look as often as you guys do. I have found that some of the "antique" stores don't always know what they have. On another note, how did your first quilt end up working out for you (the one that looked like a body had been wrapped up in it). I would love to see you post that on the FB group of yours some time. Sometimes you can get stuff cleaned up pretty good.

[@2ndChanceCrafting]

Enjoying your video's. I did this in the 1990's with estate sales when Ebay was new. So much fun. I like the prices you have at your Goodwills. I live outside of DC and it is bit more around here. I really want to get into this again. Love you guys--you compliment each other and enable each other! Love it! Everyone needs friends like that.

[@rebeccal2771]

I love boxes too, Sue. Kitties and owls also.

Hey ladies love your channel.I wanted to mention to Sue that the hooks right under the handle of the shopping cart can hold your purse so your hands free when cart is full! A hack that I recently discovered.

[@lesahanners5057]

This just made my day! What a lovely haul by the, "Dynamic Duo!" Such fun! It's always nice to see you come out with cart fulls of goodies at decent prices. I could swear I saw the match to that crazy eyed owl at our GW out here. I thought of you when I saw him, and said to myself, "I'll bet Jocelyn would grab you off the shelf!" The other day when I went, there wasn't a single thing to be had at either GW or ST. Vinnies, which was very unusual. However, I went in the next day and found a number of things, so you just never know what kind of day you will have?! One thing I wish they had out here that you seem to have a plethora of, is lampshades. Our 2nd hand stores just don't get much of anything in, in the way of lampshades, that or finials. There must be a lampshade and finial thief and hoarder out here somewhere. I don't know how else to explain it?! ha ha ha Glad you had such a good time with Sue, it's always nice to see you two out having fun. Can hardly wait for your haul video, see you then.

[@pamelarising8808]

My grandparent's had an antique store for over 40 yrs. When, they were no longer able to pick, they started carrying new collectibles. When, they closed, we were left with over 2000 collectible plates. We couldn't get $5 ea at garage sales. So much inventory that was just trash. Additionally, we had hummels and precious moments for miles. lol I learned the lesson they left behind for sure!

[@Sky2theRim]

I love watching you two look at an item and judge its age and its worth.

[@victoriapalmer5146]

I agree with you the collector's plates aren't worth what you paid for them originally. But I could see it being fun searching for more plates for someone who enjoys thrift store shopping as long as the plates were more reasonably priced.

[@leeosech9539]

You ladies crack me up and made my day with your video! Love & light Joselyn and Sue ❤
