I started selling on ebay to pay for dental work, took 3 months to pay the $4500 and since then I have made over 100K in sales in 2 years. Thanks to my teeth I am a full time eBay seller!
Thank you for discussing your dental situation. I actually teared up. I’ve been dealing with dental issues my entire life. My saliva actually eats my tooth enamel away. My mom has the same problem. And on top of that...I am petrified of going to the dentist. I too have have bad dentists who I swear were previous employees at a Chinese torture chamber!! So I am in a similar situation with my mouth. I smile all the time. That’s just who I am. I can’t tell you how many pics I’ve deleted and made sure others have deleted because of looking like I don’t have any teeth due to a receding bone line up top... I’m totally embarrassed about the entire situation with my mouth. So when I saw you talking about your situation it really hit home with me. Sorry about the long comment. I really admire you for being so honest. ❤️ Thank you for that.
Wow!! What a courageous video Karen. This is why you are so successful because you are so down to earth, honest and transparent with us. I wish you all the best in everything you do. And I absolutely love that blouse you're wearing... so pretty! God bless!!
Thanks SO MUCH Karen, for the very informative conversation about TEETH as we get older!!!! NO matter how much we care for our own teeth, things DO HAPPEN that can change our appearance! I'm aware of the changes and if you're a normally happy person who likes to smile or laugh, that, too, changes and can affect our personality! Blessings to you and THANKS AGAIN!!!! 😍🥰😘
I truly admire you for sharing your "behind the scenes" personal life. It's like having a best friend who I've never met! I'm wishing the best for you and I'll be watching!
Thank you for speaking softly. So many youtubers think they have to yell (instead of just talking closer to the mike). You're an inspiration, but no way can i ever dedicate as much time and space as you. Good on you!
I completely agree. Dental care should come with health care, as a serious problem can become a very serious health issue and in rare cases, death. Good luck with your implants.
I adore watching you. I crack up at your sense of humour and comments while appreciating your great eye for things and wonderful explanations. You are not only a great resource for resale but you also provide a sense of calmness and kindness that helps me de-stress after a long day working in a hospital. I thank you (and Mellissa/Bare on Mellissa's channel) for providing such a positive outlet. I believe it is not only your business that attracts people, but the way you share your lovely personality and parts of your life with us. Thoughts and prayers to you during your continued "dental journey". :)
Great video Karen! I'm so excited for you with your upcoming dental implants and Thanks so much for letting us be part of the journey to your new smile!
OMGoodness, besides your fab thrifting videos you have made my day. I too have been contemplating dental implants and truthfully I was a little scared because of some of the horror stories I have heard. I am so glad that you have shared this info & will continue to keep us updated with your experience. I always come away from your videos with a much richer thrifting knowledge base that I have & will continue to put into practice. So thank you thank you thank you. I have watched every one of your videos and jump right on the newly published ones.
First I want to say you look beautiful today!! I love that white blouse...gorgeous, and the necklace with it...very nice. I would love to see the free stuff video. I watch "Paper and Moose" who garbage picks almost exclusively. So yes on the free and curbside picking videos!!
My brother always took care of his teeth, but yet, he was chronically plagued with dental problems. He finally decided enough was enough and got implants. His smile is wonderful and his teeth are trouble free now.
Wishing you the best on your new dental work journey! I have also been through some scary and stressful stuff in that regard. I am glad that you have shared this with us! You are such a lovely person, and I truly hope that this place is kind and gentle, and you come out with the exact results you are hoping for!
Love Your Videos and You! I too have spent thousands of dollars on dental care. I finally went to Mexico and had my teeth extracted and replaced with full implants top and bottom. My cost was $21,000.00. In the states I received Quotes from $65,000.00 to over $100,000.00. My dentist in Mexico did a fantastic job! That was over 3 yrs ago and I wish I had the procedure 30 yrs ago. Oh and that included my hotel. Wonderful care!
Thanks Patricia! I did consider that option, but seeing Im on my own, I deliberated whether it was wise for me to go that route seeing I will be traveling on my own. ( No pun intended lol)
Lavender Clothesline I agree, I did travel alone but at that time the boarder was safe. Can’t tell you how grateful I am to have my wonderful implants! My Implants were done 9 months apart due to bone grafts. During that 9 months I wore an upper plate...worst part of the whole procedure!, I am so looking forward to each and every one of your videos! You are such a beautiful, graceful and very generous woman!
Wow!! Got hooked on your vids watching when Mellisa interviewed you on how you got started. I always thought, "she's cute, and skinny, and such a go-getter You know, pretty much perfect! !I don't know if I can do what she's done." But now what I appreciate is your willingness to share such a personal journey and to be real! Looking forward to every video you do!
Totally get it! You are lovely! Thank you so much for sharing! I have had mega dental work, and my last experience left me scared to go back! Keep us posted! I appreciate it so much!
Good luck with your dental implants! I called New Teeth Now, and they wanted me to send them xrays and bone scans before giving me a quote. I ended up scheduling with a dentist in Costa Rica, which is where I'm going next week for my procedure!
Hi Karen, thanks for another great video! Always look forward to your hauls, your tips and tricks. what a lovely blouse, you look beautiful in it. My Dad had many successful implants and was thrilled he went through with it. Good for you, and to share with the hope of helping! Have a super night!
You are such a beautiful lady even with your dental issues🤗❤️.. you are right, there isn’t enough coverage for major dental work in healthcare and that needs to change!.. good for you to want to fix your already beautiful smile, you deserve it🤗❤️
Karen, you are so sweet and genuine! Thanks for another great vide! I'm a new reseller and also an expat, so I don't know a lot of the brands that are popular in my new home country, but your videos have inspired me to follow my instincts and look for novelty and quality. So far it has served me well, and makes sourcing a lot more fun, because I feel more like a curator or a treasure hunter. All the best to you on your dental journey!
Karen, thank you for sharing the dental information. I've had a similar experience. I've spent a fortune on gum and teeth treatment over the years and still have lost many teeth. I also have some horror stories. I have an upper partial and would love to get implants too. Thank you for being honest and kind enough to bring this out in the open. I know, like you said, that these problems are not caused by how we care for our teeth because I'm sure we brush/floss our teeth twice as often as other people trying to prevent problems, but it doesn't help. Very frustrating. I'll be looking forward to more news about your plans and progress. Also, I love your instagram and you tube channel. I've just started reselling a few months ago and I've learned so much from you! Love your positive attitude and seeing your sweet girls too.
First white is your color! Thanks for talking about teeth! I'm around your age. I have alway taken care of my teeth. I get discouraged at times what's happening to them. So thanks for that talk! U helped me!
Oh Karen, I absolutely love watching your vlogs, I love that your voice is so calming and Mellissa has inherited your calmness. Whenever I watch you, I always think how beautiful you are. Not once have I noticed crooked teeth. They are lovely and white, but we female humans are the harshest judges of ourselves. I look forward to watching your journey and all the best for your upcoming journey. Have a great week.
Great video! Thank you for addressing dental health. Glad you found a wonderful dental care. Can't wait to see your new smile! Best wishes on your dental journey! There are REALLY gentle compassionate dentists and staff...so those of you out there find a great dentist and start your journey to a new smile today! HaPpY Smiles!
If it solves your dental problem, it'll be the best money you ever spent! I needed surgery to lift two collapsed sinuses in my gums and a bone graft to replace fairly extensive bone loss, then a few months of healing time before they could do the dental work. I was lucky to live in a city with a tertiary teaching hospital, so I had a top-notch surgeon and prosthodontist. I ended up with a combination of crowns and implants, and it was worth every penny and more. I don't think people realize how important teeth are to health. Good luck with your procedure! I hope you'll be as happy with the results as I am, and that your dental problems will be nothing more than a dim memory!
Karen, Thank you much for the enjoyable haul video. I was thrilled to "bump into" your UA-cam channel when you first began making videos and subscribed immediately. Through you I found my way to Mellissa's channel. So, now I am doublely blessed. 😀💞 I greatly look forward to joining you on your dental adventure. Thank you for your willingness to share the experience with your viewers. I am also a very private person, so ofcourse, I encourage you to share only what makes you absolutely comfortable. I, among others, will be one person who will be assisted by your candid documentation. Many Blessings, Cheryl from the Mississippi Gulf Coast.🌈🐱
Wow what a deal on the camper how fun - I’m sure she loved it!! I live your station I’m originally from Massachusetts but now in Arizona I live your accent - reminds me of home!!!
You are just an amazing woman; this video blew me away. If you could bottle the way you approach life and sell it, you could forget about reselling and any money issues forever. I first met you on your daughter's channel. From there, I went to being hooked on your instagram account. (Yes, I went all the way back) and of course am part of your youtube family. I just found your attitude to life so wonderful and wished that if I kept watching you it would somehow rub off a bit on me. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way and, to be honest (please don't take what I am about to say the wrong way; we all have unique challenges in life and unique inborn traits that make us who we are), I got to the point that while I was still following you, I realized I was starting to feel a bit bad afterwards, rather than uplifted. It wasn't jealously because I wish you all the best always; you sooo deserve it. It was that I was feeling really bad that I couldn't somehow lift myself up out of where I am and how I feel when you seemed so able to move onward and upward with a smile all the time (no pun intended, honestly). I keep watching, although I am not feeling that hopeful for myself anymore, just because I have come to love you and want to see you succeed.
Sounds like you have depression, I've battled it off n on for a long time. If you can't go to the doctor, research for yourself. Baby steps. Keeping positive thoughts n positive reading, watching can help some but it runs in cycles. You can't snap out of it. Get help n learn skills to deal thru dark times.
WOW! I came across your channel last week and subscribed and have watched several of your videos as I sell on Etsy but I am going back to Ebay. I have been thinking about dental implants too as I have always had teeth and gum issues. I had to get an upper partial last year and I hate it! I've made the decision to do them but need the money as they are expensive. I'm hoping to make the money doing Ebay. Thank you for the inspiration!! I believe God brought me to your videos just so I would hear this! Lakeland New Teeth Now is the company I have been looking at as well since I live just north of Orlando.
I think you are lovely for sharing your dental experiences. You will, I am sure, help many people to make informed decisions! My husband grew up in a Family where they worked very hard to provide, but the income was low and the kids had dental issues. He saw the then "school dentists". No room in the budget for care or braces. He has tooth breakage and problems to this day. Perhaps he can look into this procedure some time.Thanks for being so frank and kind!
I started out reselling plush animals, but somewhere along the way I started finding it harder to let them go. Now I have a tall shelf of cute plush animals I love to look at when I walk into my eBay office. My grown kids think I'm crazy! Lol! (So yes I agree we do find ourselves collecting certain things as we get older).
I can not even begin to tell you how your "teeth talk journey" has effected me. My teeth journey has been a tortuous one. I will be calling your number you provided and watching the lady's video you provided. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this journey with us.
Bounce Back im so sorry that you too have had a bad experience with your teeth! Hoping that you are able to find help, none of us should have to suffer in this day and age!
I'm a newbee and thought I would tell you about what I'm going through with my implants. I am very happy so far. It is a long process because I needed bone graphs along with a sinus procedure (I can't remember the name of that procedure ) because of the closeness of the implants to my sinuses. Right now I have had that procedure (it took about 3 hours) and have a flipper to cover the open space. I go back the end of September. (BTW I had four teeth remove for the procedure upper left). From start to finish (I had 4 implants on the bottom ) but didn't have to have the sinus done that time, no sinuses on bottom lol I've been in this process for almost a year and should be finished in Feb. It is very expensive (mine is costing me about almost 30,,000) BUT I have my priorities and thats my teeth!! I have a lot of money in my mouth too and it;s not my first time with implants. I got my FIRST 4 when I was in my 30's (I'M 74 NOW). It's been worth every penny!!! Oh, my problem was a medication and I had to be weened off but the damage was already done. like you I went to the dentist 2 times a year. So thats my story and I thought I would share it. It's been fairly painless, just uncomfortable a little. If you have any questions just ask. Great video. I subscribed and look forward to your videos. Joan in Florida.
You are absolutely correct about dental issues. I tried for years to save my teeth. I went to upper denture. Years later a lower denture. Hate my lower denture. It moves. Would love implants but money is an issue. Best of luck!
I LOVE your videos! Thank you! You're inspiring me to keep going with my online sales. :) I'm watching all your videos right now while sharing my Poshmark closet. I just wanted to let you know that's a 1953 Chevrolet Corvette bank. (FYI -Corvette people are nuts - they always pay up for stuff, so it really is money in the bank)
Great haul! Now on to the implant subject! I'm around your age. I've always had good, healthy teeth, but am plagued with hereditary gum disease! I had a tooth that was really bothering me because food would get under it. This wasn't a crowned tooth either. My gums had just deteriorated so much that the tooth was loose. It took about 6 months of wiggling it every now when it was bothering me. Then one night with one little wiggle I was holding my tooth in my hand! Cheaper than having a dentist pull it! Point being, I will be watching the videos you do on your dental work. I have been for an implant consultation twice. As it goes when one is working in the Corp world, who has time to use the insurance we pay for? The space next to the one I wiggled out was one that I never followed up to get the implant. Not only are implants EXPENSIVE, they are time consuming! Anyway. I'm looking forward to watching your vids on the subject!!
Great haul video and those shoes came from Sarasota is where St. Armands Circle is. My brother lives there in Lakewood Ranches and his Brother and Sister Inlaws have a tattoo shop there called Oddity Tattoos and I believe its also an art gallery as well. Love the shops there and the sidewalk art shows they have down there are also quite amazing. Best of luck on the new teeth. I can't wait to see you go through it and how it turns out for you. I had seen Bethany's video before myself. I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but could never quite afford to have anything done with my teeth. I may be looking into it also though depending on your outcome.
You can ship FedEx Smartpost. USPS picks it up. They transfer it to FedEx for most of its journey, then it oes back to USPS for delivery. It can take a little longer, but that is an option for shipping through FedEx and being able to hand the packages to USPS.
Hi Karen just watched this video. I've been enjoying all of your video's lately as a little part of me has a yearning to make $ reselling therefore you have given me great incentive and ideas in case I do try it. As for the discussion of your dental implants............................you go girl!!! I like hearing all about that as well as I enjoy when u-tubers share even personal life stuff it keeps the interest going in some way...lol. So best wishes with your implants...............you will be so happy when its done! And I hope you give yourself a nice reward for the "getting thru it" part. Till next time...Victoria
I'm 27 and I have so many dental issues throughout my life. I'm actually getting my front teeth pulled so I can get implants. So I empathize with your situation.
I'm so excited for you! I think you're one of the most beautiful, intelligent, honest and gracious women on You Tube. If dental problems are making you feel less than that, by all means do what will make you feel best. I'm also excited because I live in Sebring, about an hour southeast of Lakeland. I'm looking forward to your videos and to seeing how you like the implants.
Karen...I recently discovered your channel and have made two purchases. I’m very interested in your upcoming dental experience with implants. I too have significant issues....with loss of bone and some teeth and I’m facing expensive and extensive work. Thank you for sharing your journey...I will be watching! Good luck!
Great Video once again Karen. I have a front tooth implant which I got over 15 years ago, best thing I ever spent my money on. Good Luck with your journey on this. Cant wait to see your million dollar smile at the end of it. :-)
I understand only too well dear Karen! I have had some terrible dental experiences! I only wish I could afford dental implants! But realisticly there is no way! If only 😞 I like you, have had some terrible dental experiences! I only have a few left to be removed and the then it is full dentures for me! Something I have been trying to avoidi but alas it is inevitable. I like you again, have spent a small fortune trying to save them. But alas I can no more. It's dentures for me! Thank you for your honesty and beautiful spirit dear Karen. Sending love and light from Melbourne, Australia love Diannexxxxx 🙃🌎🌹 P.S. you brighten my day 👠 P.S.S. I am so happy for you! You have worked hard for this and there is nobody more deserving! 🥂
Thanks for sharing your dental story. I have bad receeding gums and my dentists so far have told me there's nothing they can do about it. I'm wondering if you have the same issue. Please keep us updated in your dental journey.
I can totally relate about loving cute things, see I would have to keep the adorable pig. So cute. I also love little things. Like small miniature items. It’s a curse now. I have so many things, I wish I had it in me to get rid of things. I am going to start listing after August is done with. #goals. #homereno.
I just wish ebay would give us a bigger keyword character count like etsys amount😍i ger frustrated when i research forever and just cant find a comp. i know that might be good that its rare but obviously the internet doesnt have everything especially about antiques/vintage😏so sad too to think how my grandma used to consign antiques that would sell for so much and now like a germany plate from 1910 goes for $5. Sad that things dont mean as much anymore to the younger generations :( Yes! Get a cute old radio flyer wagon to always take with ya!💟
The dots on china is moriage. Villeroy and Boch is a great manufacturer and should do well. Oh and on Asian pieces there are a couple of websites that have makers marks for Asian China. Gotheborg.com is the one I use the most. Great pieces you picked up! Oh, and I just had an implant done. It’s expensive but totally worth it.
Wish I could! I also follow the Crazy Lamp Lady (am an Admin on her Facebook page, too) and she lives in the Carlisle PA area. I could hang out with both of you.
I have had as much dental work as you and have 3 implants with more on horizon. I feel for you .if you can handle it I would stay awake for the pulling because in my case the dentist pulled in such a way to cause terrible whiplash that I had to do pt for . My neck is not better . I feel if not sedated I would not have been injured
I am with you 100% on the dental care....dentist should be major medical insurance. I am so excited for you. This will be great! Can’t wait for the adventure.. so happy for you, you rock! Great video by the way!
I started selling to pay for dentists/ doctors. I have a type of Lupus that affects your teeth. Medical insurance should pay for it. But I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear your experience. I may follow your lead!! : )
@@lavenderclotheslineone of my best friend lives in Florida..she had this done as well. I'm seriously considering having it done when i get enough money together. Thanks again for being brave and inspiring us who follow you. It means the world to me💌
Oral health is everything! I have no dental insurance, however, I pay every 3 months to get my teeth cleaned. It is the best money I can spend. About 63/each visit. Less than $1 per day! Good luck with your dental visits.
I thought I detected a NY accent. I have also had a lot of dental problems and a lot of bad dentists, I finally found a good one and had 1 implant done, not so painful, but process took a year. A lot of wait time between different stages. But I ended up with a really good new tooth. Are you having yours done more quickly??
I love your top !! just beautiful. My business motto is the same as yours, I don't have to flip asap, when I do is great, but I can wait. It always makes me laugh when a buyer contacts me with an offer of 50-60% less, stating that they are watching it for a month and it did not sell.:)
I highly recommend GeminiThrifts.. she does a lot of thrifting at local garage sales and churches, as well as goodwills.. she is also a reseller on multiple platforms and she does pick up vintage items as well.. she’s fun to watch🤗
That’s true about the profit it is hard because if something doesn’t sell a Ebay always has that message to lure you to drop the price. End up dropping the price and then losing money most of the time or at times.
I’m terrified of the dentist. Horrible experiences. I can’t even be awake any more for any procedure. So I hardly ever go. Hope all has gone well for you.
So now I'm in the rabbit hole watching implant videos. I think we're the same age, sounds like very similar dental issues. I've been doing this since I'm 5, I'll be 61 this year.
I love you TREMENDOUSLY. I am MIDWEST (TOLEDO close to Detroit) reseller and I find that your business moto works well. If you can sit on an item a bit longer and especially if you do not need the revenue ASAP it works out to my advantage. You have alot of GREAT advice. So again I LOVE YOU.
I started selling on ebay to pay for dental work, took 3 months to pay the $4500 and since then I have made over 100K in sales in 2 years. Thanks to my teeth I am a full time eBay seller!
YAY!! I love this! Congratulations!
What's your store name dear
Wow. That's impressive. Congrats.

I've just started reselling a few months ago and I've learned so much from you! Love your positive attitude and seeing your sweet girls too.
First white is your color! Thanks for talking about teeth! I'm around your age. I have alway taken care of my teeth. I get discouraged at times what's happening to them. So thanks for that talk! U helped me!
Loved your video and you have great finds. Such a variety. Thanks so much.
Oh Karen, I absolutely love watching your vlogs, I love that your voice is so calming and Mellissa has inherited your calmness. Whenever I watch you, I always think how beautiful you are. Not once have I noticed crooked teeth. They are lovely and white, but we female humans are the harshest judges of ourselves. I look forward to watching your journey and all the best for your upcoming journey. Have a great week.
@Lisa Kreiser Thank you, I really am sincere, I think your mom is beautiful. By the way.....so are you.
Oh..my..gosh Lynette! I love you!!! lol thanks SO much!!
Great video! Thank you for addressing dental health. Glad you found a wonderful dental care. Can't wait to see your new smile! Best wishes on your dental journey! There are REALLY gentle compassionate dentists and staff...so those of you out there find a great dentist and start your journey to a new smile today! HaPpY Smiles!
If it solves your dental problem, it'll be the best money you ever spent! I needed surgery to lift two collapsed sinuses in my gums and a bone graft to replace fairly extensive bone loss, then a few months of healing time before they could do the dental work. I was lucky to live in a city with a tertiary teaching hospital, so I had a top-notch surgeon and prosthodontist. I ended up with a combination of crowns and implants, and it was worth every penny and more. I don't think people realize how important teeth are to health. Good luck with your procedure! I hope you'll be as happy with the results as I am, and that your dental problems will be nothing more than a dim memory!
Karen, Thank you much for the enjoyable haul video. I was thrilled to "bump into" your UA-cam channel when you first began making videos and subscribed immediately. Through you I found my way to Mellissa's channel. So, now I am doublely blessed. 😀💞 I greatly look forward to joining you on your dental adventure. Thank you for your willingness to share the experience with your viewers. I am also a very private person, so ofcourse, I encourage you to share only what makes you absolutely comfortable. I, among others, will be one person who will be assisted by your candid documentation. Many Blessings, Cheryl from the Mississippi Gulf Coast.🌈🐱
Thanks so Much Cheryl! I appreciate your kindness!
Wow what a deal on the camper how fun - I’m sure she loved it!! I live your station I’m originally from Massachusetts but now in Arizona I live your accent - reminds me of home!!!
You are just an amazing woman; this video blew me away. If you could bottle the way you approach life and sell it, you could forget about reselling and any money issues forever. I first met you on your daughter's channel. From there, I went to being hooked on your instagram account. (Yes, I went all the way back) and of course am part of your youtube family. I just found your attitude to life so wonderful and wished that if I kept watching you it would somehow rub off a bit on me. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way and, to be honest (please don't take what I am about to say the wrong way; we all have unique challenges in life and unique inborn traits that make us who we are), I got to the point that while I was still following you, I realized I was starting to feel a bit bad afterwards, rather than uplifted. It wasn't jealously because I wish you all the best always; you sooo deserve it. It was that I was feeling really bad that I couldn't somehow lift myself up out of where I am and how I feel when you seemed so able to move onward and upward with a smile all the time (no pun intended, honestly). I keep watching, although I am not feeling that hopeful for myself anymore, just because I have come to love you and want to see you succeed.
Sounds like you have depression, I've battled it off n on for a long time. If you can't go to the doctor, research for yourself. Baby steps. Keeping positive thoughts n positive reading, watching can help some but it runs in cycles. You can't snap out of it. Get help n learn skills to deal thru dark times.
Im so sorry! I hope it gets easier for you xoxoxox
@@kathleenobrien8502 depressed maybe. down for sure....with cause
WOW! I came across your channel last week and subscribed and have watched several of your videos as I sell on Etsy but I am going back to Ebay. I have been thinking about dental implants too as I have always had teeth and gum issues. I had to get an upper partial last year and I hate it! I've made the decision to do them but need the money as they are expensive. I'm hoping to make the money doing Ebay. Thank you for the inspiration!! I believe God brought me to your videos just so I would hear this! Lakeland New Teeth Now is the company I have been looking at as well since I live just north of Orlando.
I think you are lovely for sharing your dental experiences. You will, I am sure, help many people to make informed
decisions! My husband grew up in a
Family where they worked very hard to provide, but the income was low and the kids had dental issues. He saw the then "school dentists". No room in the budget for care or braces. He has tooth breakage and problems to this day. Perhaps he can look into this procedure some time.Thanks for being so frank and kind!
I started out reselling plush animals, but somewhere along the way I started finding it harder to let them go. Now I have a tall shelf of cute plush animals I love to look at when I walk into my eBay office. My grown kids think I'm crazy! Lol! (So yes I agree we do find ourselves collecting certain things as we get older).
I can not even begin to tell you how your "teeth talk journey" has effected me. My teeth journey has been a tortuous one. I will be calling your number you provided and watching the lady's video you provided. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this journey with us.
Bounce Back im so sorry that you too have had a bad experience with your teeth! Hoping that you are able to find help, none of us should have to suffer in this day and age!
I'm a newbee and thought I would tell you about what I'm going through with my implants. I am very happy so far. It is a long process because I needed bone graphs along with a sinus procedure (I can't remember the name of that procedure ) because of the closeness of the implants to my sinuses. Right now I have had that procedure (it took about 3 hours) and have a flipper to cover the open space. I go back the end of September. (BTW I had four teeth remove for the procedure upper left). From start to finish (I had 4 implants on the bottom ) but didn't have to have the sinus done that time, no sinuses on bottom lol I've been in this process for almost a year and should be finished in Feb. It is very expensive (mine is costing me about almost 30,,000) BUT I have my priorities and thats my teeth!! I have a lot of money in my mouth too and it;s not my first time with implants. I got my FIRST 4 when I was in my 30's (I'M 74 NOW). It's been worth every penny!!! Oh, my problem was a medication and I had to be weened off but the damage was already done. like you I went to the dentist 2 times a year. So thats my story and I thought I would share it. It's been fairly painless, just uncomfortable a little. If you have any questions just ask. Great video. I subscribed and look forward to your videos. Joan in Florida.
Joan Hackney bless you Joan! You are so sweet!! 💜
You are absolutely correct about dental issues. I tried for years to save my teeth. I went to upper denture. Years later a lower denture. Hate my lower denture. It moves. Would love implants but money is an issue. Best of luck!
Thanks for sharing that Debbie, I know a lower denture can be such a challenge : (
Yes, Sarasota! Used to love shopping n lunching there.
I dont even spend a lot of money there, I just think its such a fun place!
I LOVE your videos! Thank you! You're inspiring me to keep going with my online sales. :) I'm watching all your videos right now while sharing my Poshmark closet. I just wanted to let you know that's a 1953 Chevrolet Corvette bank. (FYI -Corvette people are nuts - they always pay up for stuff, so it really is money in the bank)
Great haul! Now on to the implant subject! I'm around your age. I've always had good, healthy teeth, but am plagued with hereditary gum disease! I had a tooth that was really bothering me because food would get under it. This wasn't a crowned tooth either. My gums had just deteriorated so much that the tooth was loose. It took about 6 months of wiggling it every now when it was bothering me. Then one night with one little wiggle I was holding my tooth in my hand! Cheaper than having a dentist pull it! Point being, I will be watching the videos you do on your dental work. I have been for an implant consultation twice. As it goes when one is working in the Corp world, who has time to use the insurance we pay for? The space next to the one I wiggled out was one that I never followed up to get the implant. Not only are implants EXPENSIVE, they are time consuming! Anyway. I'm looking forward to watching your vids on the subject!!
Great haul video and those shoes came from Sarasota is where St. Armands Circle is. My brother lives there in Lakewood Ranches and his Brother and Sister Inlaws have a tattoo shop there called Oddity Tattoos and I believe its also an art gallery as well. Love the shops there and the sidewalk art shows they have down there are also quite amazing. Best of luck on the new teeth. I can't wait to see you go through it and how it turns out for you. I had seen Bethany's video before myself. I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but could never quite afford to have anything done with my teeth. I may be looking into it also though depending on your outcome.
I am excited for you! I cannot wait too see your videos with your journey on your new smile. :)
CAROLYN!!!! Thanks so much!! xoxoxox
I am learning so much from you. I would like to start a small ebay shop. Thank you for your upbeat personality
You can ship FedEx Smartpost. USPS picks it up. They transfer it to FedEx for most of its journey, then it oes back to USPS for delivery. It can take a little longer, but that is an option for shipping through FedEx and being able to hand the packages to USPS.
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your dental experience!😍😍
Hi Karen just watched this video. I've been enjoying all of your video's lately as a little part of me has a yearning to make $ reselling therefore you have given me great incentive and ideas in case I do try it. As for the discussion of your dental implants............................you go girl!!! I like hearing all about that as well as I enjoy when u-tubers share even personal life stuff it keeps the interest going in some way...lol. So best wishes with your implants...............you will be so happy when its done! And I hope you give yourself a nice reward for the "getting thru it" part. Till next time...Victoria
Your comment about gravitating to certain things when we’re older. Truth. 😂
I absolutely love and adore that blue monster!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Great video, Karen. Will be watching your tooth journey with interest. Bless you!
Thanks Laura!
I love your explanation sound like my daily life watch u often mostly at home of not on cell.
Thanks so much!
Prayers for dental work looking forward to seeing you get them 🙏❤️
I'm 27 and I have so many dental issues throughout my life. I'm actually getting my front teeth pulled so I can get implants. So I empathize with your situation.
I’ve sold those same Disney mugs before - depending on the movie/character, I sold them for as much as $30 each!
Thanks girlfriend!! im just throwing stuff on lol.. and yup I bundled hahah
Very happy you are discussing dental!
Kathleen!!! please know that You have blessed me greatly!!
I'm so excited for you! I think you're one of the most beautiful, intelligent, honest and gracious women on You Tube. If dental problems are making you feel less than that, by all means do what will make you feel best. I'm also excited because I live in Sebring, about an hour southeast of Lakeland. I'm looking forward to your videos and to seeing how you like the implants.
FlaKNMB thanks so much!!💜
Is there a specific ROI you are looking for when you are thrifting? thanks for all the information that you give to us.
Karen...I recently discovered your channel and have made two purchases. I’m very interested in your upcoming dental experience with implants. I too have significant issues....with loss of bone and some teeth and I’m facing expensive and extensive work. Thank you for sharing your journey...I will be watching! Good luck!
Great Video once again Karen. I have a front tooth implant which I got over 15 years ago, best thing I ever spent my money on. Good Luck with your journey on this. Cant wait to see your million dollar smile at the end of it. :-)
Aussie Bowerbird 💜😘💜😘
Great finds. Thanks for sharing
I understand only too well dear Karen! I have had some terrible dental experiences! I only wish I could afford dental implants! But realisticly there is no way! If only 😞 I like you, have had some terrible dental experiences! I only have a few left to be removed and the then it is full dentures for me! Something I have been trying to avoidi but alas it is inevitable. I like you again, have spent a small fortune trying to save them. But alas I can no more. It's dentures for me! Thank you for your honesty and beautiful spirit dear Karen. Sending love and light from Melbourne, Australia love Diannexxxxx 🙃🌎🌹 P.S. you brighten my day 👠 P.S.S. I am so happy for you! You have worked hard for this and there is nobody more deserving! 🥂
Great video. I always enjoy your channel. I too have dental issues and really appreciate your willingness to share yours. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing your dental story. I have bad receeding gums and my dentists so far have told me there's nothing they can do about it. I'm wondering if you have the same issue. Please keep us updated in your dental journey.
I can totally relate about loving cute things, see I would have to keep the adorable pig. So cute. I also love little things. Like small miniature items. It’s a curse now. I have so many things, I wish I had it in me to get rid of things. I am going to start listing after August is done with. #goals. #homereno.
I just wish ebay would give us a bigger keyword character count like etsys amount😍i ger frustrated when i research forever and just cant find a comp. i know that might be good that its rare but obviously the internet doesnt have everything especially about antiques/vintage😏so sad too to think how my grandma used to consign antiques that would sell for so much and now like a germany plate from 1910 goes for $5. Sad that things dont mean as much anymore to the younger generations :(
Yes! Get a cute old radio flyer wagon to always take with ya!💟
You have great taste. I love the pottery and tray. Your thrift store prices things so cheap.
I would totally play with that camper!!!
hahaha..thats why I had to "set it up" for her!
Love your mixed hauls😀❤️😀❤️.. thank you so much for sharing love🤗❤️
Mimi516 thanks so much!!💜😘
The dots on china is moriage. Villeroy and Boch is a great manufacturer and should do well. Oh and on Asian pieces there are a couple of websites that have makers marks for Asian China. Gotheborg.com is the one I use the most. Great pieces you picked up! Oh, and I just had an implant done. It’s expensive but totally worth it.
okay, Laura!! you need to move in next door to me so we can hang out together! hahah Thanks so much!!
Wish I could! I also follow the Crazy Lamp Lady (am an Admin on her Facebook page, too) and she lives in the Carlisle PA area. I could hang out with both of you.
...excited for your journey, as someone who understands. TFS!
Thanks so much Fran!
Loved your blouse and necklace. So pretty!
Brenda Vasquez Thank you Brenda! 💜
I hope to make enough money to put new windows in and a new deck for my town home. You make me feel like this is possible. Thank you.
I love St. Armands Circle!
Good for you!! Take care of yourself .
I have had as much dental work as you and have 3 implants with more on horizon. I feel for you .if you can handle it I would stay awake for the pulling because in my case the dentist pulled in such a way to cause terrible whiplash that I had to do pt for . My neck is not better . I feel if not sedated I would not have been injured
Michelle!..im so sorry!
I am with you 100% on the dental care....dentist should be major medical insurance. I am so excited for you. This will be great! Can’t wait for the adventure.. so happy for you, you rock! Great video by the way!
Bless you Faye!! Youre so kind to encourage me!
I started selling to pay for dentists/ doctors. I have a type of Lupus that affects your teeth. Medical insurance should pay for it. But I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear your experience. I may follow your lead!! : )
Thanks so much! Ive added New Teeth Now's private phone number in the links, they have amazing reviews :)
@@lavenderclotheslineone of my best friend lives in Florida..she had this done as well. I'm seriously considering having it done when i get enough money together. Thanks again for being brave and inspiring us who follow you. It means the world to me💌
Oral health is everything! I have no dental insurance, however, I pay every 3 months to get my teeth cleaned. It is the best money I can spend. About 63/each visit. Less than $1 per day! Good luck with your dental visits.
A female gnome is a “gnomid” or “gnomide” 😊
Love seeing what people get for free to resell!
Thanks so much for your help Christine!
A middle or high school music dept would love to receive it for a student.
The square belt looked great with the shirt you were wearing .:)
Michelle!!! Dont encourage me girlfriend! hahahah
I thought I detected a NY accent. I have also had a lot of dental problems and a lot of bad dentists, I finally found a good one and had 1 implant done, not so painful, but process took a year. A lot of wait time between different stages. But I ended up with a really good new tooth. Are you having yours done more quickly??
I love the tables!
Your videos are fun to watch! Good luck with your teeth. I will be very interested in hearing about it.
I love your top !! just beautiful. My business motto is the same as yours, I don't have to flip asap, when I do is great, but I can wait. It always makes me laugh when a buyer contacts me with an offer of 50-60% less, stating that they are watching it for a month and it did not sell.:)
Exactly!!
Yippie for Sarasota. That’s my hometown!
Long Boat Key is where that shopping area is in Florida I think
I highly recommend GeminiThrifts.. she does a lot of thrifting at local garage sales and churches, as well as goodwills.. she is also a reseller on multiple platforms and she does pick up vintage items as well.. she’s fun to watch🤗
That’s true about the profit it is hard because if something doesn’t sell a Ebay always has that message to lure you to drop the price. End up dropping the price and then losing money most of the time or at times.
I’m terrified of the dentist. Horrible experiences. I can’t even be awake any more for any procedure. So I hardly ever go. Hope all has gone well for you.
So now I'm in the rabbit hole watching implant videos. I think we're the same age, sounds like very similar dental issues. I've been doing this since I'm 5, I'll be 61 this year.
I love you TREMENDOUSLY. I am MIDWEST (TOLEDO close to Detroit) reseller and I find that your business moto works well. If you can sit on an item a bit longer and especially if you do not need the revenue ASAP it works out to my advantage. You have alot of GREAT advice. So again I LOVE YOU.
LOVE you back Bernadine! Also LOVE your name!!
I learn a lot from you. Thank you!
I call it “curb shopping”! 😂 Free is very good!
Karen you are a Super Star!!! I love how you think.
Thanks Laura!! You are so kind, ( im just a little crazy - ha!)
