    Thank you for sharing this beautiful store with us Karen . This is totally my style and although I am not Amish or Menonite I do cover my head for biblical and modesty purposes and thought that head covering cabinet was extra special . Thanks for sharing your time and reselling knowledge with us . Your doing an excellent job and I'm enjoying your videos .

    @jdpurplecat5726 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for sharing, it's always very helpful. I'm like you, if I see a piece of clothing that is in great/ like new condition I'll pick it up no matter the brand, I know I'm gonna make a profit anyways and I'm only paying $1 a piece (on certain color store tag) at my GW sale day. I also go to another thrift store they run 25%-75% off sales every wk, I always find great items; reg. & high end brand name clothing, shoes & misc. goods, I pay between $0.25-$9 a piece. Vacation? What is that? lol, it's been 4yrs since I had one😂 (too busy w/eBay & family). Have fun!

  • @marybethg5505
    @marybethg5505 5 років тому +1

    what a beautiful store and tour by you, in one previous video with your daughter you said "I have no original thoughts of my own" when Mellisa was talking about what to do with the wooden drapery rings and i thought "that's not true" because you come up with all kinds of things that people would have never thought of and how you do this review of this store is so thorough and nice for people to get ideas -- great job again!

    Ooohhh that store! Simply heavenly...we have a little lakeside cottage in southern Michigan...I’m actually there right now on a little summer vacation...we are near one of the Michigan Amish communities here and the first thing we do after flying in from Los Angeles is to go to the Amish farm where they have a bakery! Fresh made cream, butter, cookies, cakes, pies, bread and all manner of veggies grown on the farm...so much good food and also a glimpse into a simpler way of life...such a soul soothing experience. Have a wonderful vacation in FL! 🥰

    Thank you Karen for sharing that beautiful store. It looked huge inside. So many beautiful items.
    I Love the calming colors of the furniture and accessories, the browns, creams, tans, grays and black. The great thing about that is everything goes with everything. If you really want color in your home you can add a little bit of color by decorating with different accessories. I change the colors in my home when the seasons change. I add Flowers in vases, seasonal wreaths, change out pillows, pictures and a few different nick-kacks here and there. It just brings a home to life.

    I just don’t understand how you can get as much money for your items. Unbelieveable really. Even a high end consignment in my area can’t get these prices, when you said you were going to sell those plaid Bermuda for 30 8 nearly well off my chair

  • @liverhater88
    @liverhater88 5 років тому

    YoU said that you go back and check the listing after weighing and measuring the package. Does that mean you can change it (in the listing)?

    I have given up shopping thrift stores because resellers have kind of ruined thrift stores for me. Gone are the days when the average person can just shop thrift stores for a bargain on their clothing and home decor or things for their kids. The resellers line up before the doors open, they rush the household and shoe departments, it’s the most vulgar display of greed I’ve ever seen. I have seen grown people fight over a pair of shoes. Once while looking for children’s books for my grandchildren a reseller walked over and arm swept three entire shelves of children’s books into his cart then walked over to the furniture, sat down and started to scan the books. It is repulsive to see this behavior.

    Habutai or habotai [ HAH-buh-tahy ] (from the Japanese habutae (literally "feather-two-layer") is one of the most basic plain weaves of silk fabric.
    Habutai is a lightweight, shimmering material once used mainly for making silk kimonos. It is sheer and often has an ivory color.[1] Traditionally woven in Japan, most habutai is now woven in China. It is normally a lining silk but can also be used for T-shirts, summer blouses, lampshades, or very light lingerie. It is easy to dye.
    Like other silks, habutai comes in a variety of weights/ thicknesses which is measured in mommes (abbreviated mm). A lightweight and sheer habutai silk might be 8 mommes ("8mm"); a 16mm habutai is considered quite thick.

    Thank you for starting this channel. I wish you great success. I've learned a lot from you, so thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and expert advice. Your packaging is superb, but I would like to say that when I open a package and see loose packing peanuts, I dread opening it the rest of the way. I know what I'm in for... A mess. They go everywhere; all over the room in which I open the box. I find that they are easy to control if they are inside the plastic bags you use for packing. I tie them closed and as I use them, they become "molded" to the item being shipped. I can vary the amount in each bag as needed to get the right fit. There's no need for loose peanuts. A more eco -friendly alternative is balled up newspaper, newsprint (my go-to choice), or cornstarch peanuts inside the bags. No mess for the buyer and you still get that molded-to-the-item effect. :) Keep the videos coming. You have a pleasant voice and demeanor, which is a refreshing for UA-cam, and I love your humor. :)

Why don’t you sell on Poshmark as well? Maybe you are selling there already. What is the advantage sell clothes or vintage items on EBay comparing to Poshmark?

    I'm super impressed with your you tube videos and your hauls are amazing. As someone a wee bit closer to "senior citizen" than you are, I also have started reselling to supplement my retirement funds. (I did retire a bit early). I have one teensy little bit of feedback. Your voice is soft and beautiful but I have to turn my volume up a bit to hear it. That's fine except when the music comes on, it blares. Is there a way you can get the sounds to be the same? Thanks! Again, I really love watching your videos.

About how many items did you list per week from start to finish before you hired your daughter? I know it may take me a decade to reach, but I would love a goal to aim for. Thanks again! Nancy❤️❤️❤️

    hmm you must live in a depressed area..19.99 to 29.99 is our price guide here in Marysville WA. BUT you lost me, the first video was of a double hands belt that you cancelled the sale..and then sold it for 399 to someone else. That's just not done in my books. Good luck, you lost me..
