baskets, ohio, longaberger, sales, history

[@nitroraptor2]

My mom carried a longaberger basket as a purse for years

[@dougalonation1570]

mine too, for sure

[@jodavis650]

I didn't even know they closed I have longenberger shelves, baskets, pottery even a foot stool ...i got them from a friend that passed away...so sad..

[@chriscambell7988]

Yep. My mother has many of them. And was on the bus tours.

[@TheBigdog868]

For the suburban housewife of the 90s longaberger was what one did with money.

[@hacatan24]

This looks really good... Whoever build this was on point

[@dougalonation1570]

its really cool in person. i went inside a couple times when i was a kid. sad its closed now

[@cliffordmattern2454]

It ain't rocket science people. What happened to longaberger was Tammy. She destroyed that company. The old man's body wasn't even covered with dirt and off she went spending money on useless things. Destroyed her dad's dream. Sorry Dave your daughter just couldn't handle it.

[@dougalonation1570]

ouch! but mad respect on keeping it real

Thank you for your time you took , I never liked the baskets but was into the pottery I never did get the largest bowl from the bowl set . I started going to a new church and was invited to a party so I went to meet people never thinking I would find something I wanted. I was sure I didn’t want a basket but when I saw the pottery I was hooked , I still have all my pieces except one broken coffee mug ! But I am on the hunt for the largest bowl in green . Again thank you for your video and your time

[@dougalonation1570]

ill be on the lookout for that bowl. i bet my mom has it. i never use my little tea cups but they look good as decorations in my kitchen with their little holder plates they come with. thanks for stopping by the video!

The fact you say "moms" like me... earned an automatic sub from me

[@jo8726t]

Thank you

I have a pie basket and at one time it was worth $800. I’m in the process of painting the dozen or so I own. I like them but I don’t like the orangey color of them. Thanks for the interesting video.

[@dougalonation1570]

what is it worth now? sad how they lost their fame. i miss the longaburger days

[@laurae8324]

@@dougalonation1570 probably $25! It’s not in the best condition.

[@cherylmaddy6142]

[@dougalonation1570]

[@seanthompson9914]

No I wasn't there when that happened and idk about jobs there cause I live in Las Vegas

[@markphillips1911]

Took too long to get to the subject and didn’t really provide any real explanation

[@douglascrabtree8889]

It's a video that I shot and presented in the exact format and pacing that I felt like. It didn't take too long to make a point because there was Zero time frame that I was limited to. But thanks for stopping by anyways.
