    At 4:52 that glass bulb is an oil lamp, might be from Czechoslovakia. There is a glass piece that holds the long wick. You can still buy the wick holder. It's a glass tube the flares out a bit to hold it from falling in the container. The reason is suggest this country because I have a couple of these types and there was a sticker on the bottom so this one could have lost it sticker.

    I was in Mount Joy for Christmas and shopped in Mount Joy Thrift and Gift. Nice store. They had a number of things that were silent auction. I’ve never seen that in a store before. While I was not there the day Karen was, I did meet her in Goodwill, (I think I was in Lancaster). It was so nice to meet you Karen! Cathy

    I sold on eBay for years from day one . I came so obsessed with going to thrift stores I spent money on a lot of junk that never sold . If a day went by I didn’t go I would actually have a panic attack. It almost ruined my life and my family hardly spoke to me . Make sure you don’t get hung up in things to much 😮

      I've been watching Karen for a while and don't think she's going to get hung up- she has no "death pile", everything is cleaned, listed and organized. I'd like to be her when I grow up except that I'm already older than she.

      Hippie Girl, I am the same way. If I don't make a sale each day I panic. I also get really anxious if I can't get out to source frequently. I hope you made more money than you spent and didn't get burned overall.

    • @lynn8524
      @lynn8524 Рік тому +16

      I can relate Hippie Girl. When I first started reselling ten years ago I became too consumed with it. I even gave up my three mile a day walk because I was too busy. I’m no longer like that even though I still enjoy it very much, I’ve learned to keep it in balance. Fortunately my husband and I aren’t dependent on my income even though it can be profitable.

    • @i.m.7710
      @i.m.7710 Рік тому +23

      Take what you like and leave, heave, toss the rest:
      A competitive, go-getter, type A personality would do well in reselling and enjoy the chase. Over time, as habits form, thrifting can become therapy. My late dear friend used thrift shopping (not a reseller) as affordable therapy. She was a therapist and was well aware of her choice and actions.
      The “Ka-ching” cash register sound is highly addictive! I read an article about it last year. Probably releases endorphins. I noticed the thrill of that sound and the slight let-down when it didn’t happen. Noticing how it made me feel was important. I’m a laid back person and enjoying the process of whatever I do is a requirement.
      I do love leisurely hours of enjoyable thrifting. Especially without the pressure of needing rent money.
      Not everyone needs to be warned off a pastime or career they enjoy - if they are healthy in body, mind and spirit (it’s pretty obvious Karen is in that category).

    I am glad you mentioned the fact how Goodwill is separating matching items and selling them separately. I noticed that as well. Their prices are also slowly rising higher and higher. I am rather disappointed in that fact. I often wonder if their profits really go to the good causes they claim to support or rather to the executes themselves?

    Boot wear: Sometimes you can “read” the wearer’s activity when you look at a boot, like the wear from saddle stirrups. When I was a teen, back in the 70s, I used to get a wear spot to the top of my left boot, back a bit from the toe because the shifter on my dirt bike motorcycle was on that side and it shifted both up and down. To shift up, you put your toe under the lever and pivoted it up. Over time it left it’s mark.

    That round fish plate was carved from soapstone and made in Africa. I bought a similar one years ago at a church fundraiser. They were working with a particular village, I think probably in Kenya but I could be wrong. It’s kisii soapstone. I think you did good to leave it for 12 bucks but if I had seen it for under five or six I probably would’ve bought it. I paid $20 retail for mine probably 10 years ago.

    I was in my local Goodwill the other day. A man and a woman were hovering near the door to the back. A woman wheels a cart out and says "here you are" to the female customer who proceeds to grab, grab, grab every new in bubble package toy on the cart. The man, who had done his own grabbing and who she didn't appear to be with, then started giving her advice on what the selling price for these items would be. It was a real turnoff to see the Goodwill employee obviously working with a reseller like that. This was in Hazlet NJ.

    What we call cloisonné is found all around the world, in many cultures. Back when I traveled to the Middle East, Europe and Asia, I saw some beautiful pieces in galleries and museums. Now much of it is for the tourist trade. The word Cloisonné, does come from the French word cloison, which means little compartments (which refers to the divided areas that are filled with the enamel), but the that style of metalwork art goes back to a time before Christ and has been found in places like Mesopotamia.

    Happy New Year, Karen. Interesting comment about Goodwill separating items and giving individual pricing. I went to Unique Thrift in Fairfax, VA, yesterday and they had separated pajama tops and bottoms into two separate racks and priced them individually. To me that was crazy. I couldn't find sets without trying to make matches. Also everything was so overpriced -- men's button down shirts were $10. It's gotten crazy.

      @@lavenderclothesline I know - it's so hard for me to pay anything other than thrift prices for things, but this time of year, I can't help but peek at the after holiday sales! They are so good sometimes even good enough for reselling ; ) xo
