      An item like a charm bracelet is usually very sentimental to the owner and I doubt they knew it was in that bag. I am probably overly sentimental after losing the bracelet my Dad gave me in a flood a few years ago, but I would hope that if it was ever found someone would make the effort to get it back to me instead of thinking they were fortunate for having found it. I have found a couple of really nice jewelry items in my life and worked hard to reunite them with their owners.

    Thank you Margaret for another great video. :) I have been selling very on and off for the last 20 or so years on eBay. I started out selling collectibles that I purchased wholesale. Back then the market was saturated. I did sell some but my sales were low dollar. A few years later I tried selling clothing. It was fun shopping for nice things. However, it was a lot of work laundering the clothing, steaming, photographing, listing, etc. I did not really enjoy selling clothing. I have sold jewelry from my personal collection. Then about 1 year ago I found your channel. That is when I started thrifting and reselling all kinds of jewelry. I just recently started trying to dip into thrifting other items. Because I am just getting my feet wet I am pretty slow. As with most things that I think might sell I have to look them up. Back in April of this year, I was looking at a signed Easter decoration. I picked it up and placed it back on the shelf. I was standing in front of it at my face height. A guy walked up and grabbed it from right in front of my face. He was talking about "here is $40.00 right here". At the time I was a bit miffed. But I learned a big lesson that day, always use a cart. I let it go, he probably needed that Easter decor more than I. 😊

Glad I was not suspended on my first sale. Since then I sold multiple high end designer items and never had an issue. They were all authentic but never bothered to authenticate them, they simply got sold.

    I made a thrifting attempt yesterday and the Karm thrift stores in Tennessee are also charging high for stuff. We're talking 7.99 for a mass produced glass vase that lists for $10-15 on Etsy type pricing. It's insane. Surely they don't think the collectors who buy online are going to travel the country to find what they are looking for at these thrift stores?! I could only get three items that might be worth the risk. I don't have capital yet. My BF helped me out.

    I did eBay for 10 years, me and my mom would go to Goodwill auctions were they auction big boxes of miscellaneous items. We never left without at least one or two good items sometimes still in the box. I even started ordering items wholesale from China I would always put of course that items weren't original. I understand now that it's not a good idea because China can use toxic materials to make knock-off goods. So I stopped doing that. I also stopped going to Goodwill auctions because the prices were so ridiculously high for one box. Goodwill also started their own online auction site so you're not going to find good things in the store or in the auction boxes anymore plus you count gas, shipping materials, shipping prices for some people, it's not worth it anymore. But I'm extremely grateful for the skills eBay has taught me. We were able to pay off her house just from selling off of eBay

    Hi, I have some shoes that I got at a thrift store. How about I list them last "Gucci style " and indicate that they haven't been authenticated? Is that still a no no?

      Exactly - good question! Who knows the answer?

      That is a no- no. I sell jewelry and we can get “ dinged” for saying in the style of … Varsano. Or with paintings if you say ala Van Gogh, or Picasso style.

    People charge too much money on eBay for shipping. That’s why nobody likes to shop on there. The shipping is way too high.

    The thrift stores here in Perth Australia have gotten ridiculous with there pricing to , no joke 70% of the stuff they sell is at full retail prices and at least 10% are over retail . People donate stuff thinking it’s to raise money for needy families but most of it goes to pay workers , even though 95% of workers are volunteers . There a a couple of stores that are good .

    Love your videos. I’m a reseller in the Dallas area. Thrift stores are challenging here. I find good pieces but not in the bulk like those on the east coast or in Colorado. You’re a Houston area reseller so I’m wondering if you have the same issues? Garage sales sometimes yield some good stuff or church community yard sales.😊
