I am always looking to see what people are getting rid of and my husband thinks I'm crazy - I'm like why? It's free - I can't find a better deal than that!

    Love your outfit! Sounds like your kids enjoyed helping you find treasures. We grew up poor so my parents had to buy our things second hand. All my toys were used and some broken, but I felt it didn't matter. Funny, now that I am a reseller my favorite items to sell are toys! Lol! Have a blessed day!

    LLBean had the most amazing customer service/return policy on earth. Unfortunately, people took advantage of it and their return policy is still good but not lifetime (maybe on their duck boots but not on other products) ... quality is still top notch though. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them

    Was not unusual for my Mom to stop the station wagon and load up a vintage wicker sofa, chair from someone’s garbage pile or even go up n ask if something interesting was on their porch or yard. Summers in N.C. auctions or finding treasures in old barns etc., we’d drive back to Miami looking like the Beverley Hillbillies! We both have treasure hunting n junking in our blood! Lol

    Ahhhhh I'm so excited I had to come back to tell you. I made my first eBay sale! 57 dollar Yankee candle nutcracker full size candle holder I purchased at an estate sale. It's beautiful. I have a scale now, ordered my Bluetooth hp printer. I'll be taking it to usps store first am. I'm crazy confused but I will do this. We have a church sale coming up everything 10 cents I'm going to be there the night before I'm so excited. I'm originally from NYC living in Oregon so one day we must meet!

    I just grabbed a couple chairs and two decorative shelves. I fix some things up, and some are even new with tags. Los Angeles has great trash! I am so glad to hear I am not alone. Making a little money and keeping things out of landfills is a win, win! I have no problem with this and even do dumpster diving from time to time. I don't find many with no locks as too many don't dive with respect and leave a mess. I love wheels for the same reason. I am an artist and wheels make rearranging things so much easier! Space is at a premium! Thanks for your shares. I hadn't realized there was such profit in men's clothes!

    The way you tell mens from womens is if looking at it, it buttons/snaps to the left, it's mens, right, womens, tops and bottoms. I thought that was common knowledge among resellers.

    Furniture movers work great also (4 plastic coaster style shapes that you put under all 4 corners). I (50+yr old female) can move the sofa from the living room to the family room by myself! Scavenging curbside "junk" cam be so profitable...why not save something from the landfill and repurpose or reuse it? I have seem some resellers also put their mannequins on a turntable. Whatever makes your business more efficient, just go for it~

    Even though this video is about four years old, I’m hoping that there’s some stuff that I could glean from here I’m 100% in agreement with you concerning some of the brands that you named. I have passed on the Saint John stuff and the Ralph Lauren polo, and even Hollister but per your encouragement, I might start picking up some of that stuff at the bins. Also, love your attitude concerning picking stuff off the curb. I get frustrated very often when I’m in a car and not my van and I have to pass on stuff however, being prepared to pick is always good advice. Yeah, I know you’re over there in kind of East Central Pennsylvania. Do you know? Is there a community college or such in the area? I would bet that if you went to a curriculum administrator and honestly you wouldn’t even have to have a class proposal. Just give him or her a list of some of your UA-cam videos. I would bet that any administrator would love to have you on their faculty one evening a week maybe 2 to 3 hours a session teaching people some of the things you know. I wouldn’t say this to everyone normally, but you are so impressive in your desire to share your knowledge with others. You’re not at all greedy or concerned about what someone else is doing or getting. it’s such a impressive characteristic. Oh, by the way, congratulations on your recent marriage you guys must surely have such a fun life since you’re both in the business.

    When we moved to South Texas we had never seen anyone picking the side of the road. We put some things out for trash one day and they just disappeared! We did it again and poof! My kids called it the magic curb! They would lug stuff out and watch through the fence to see how long it took before it was gone! Lol! Hubby and I loved it! Saved us a lot of time and work! If we thought someone could use it, we put it out!

    I love my Ralph Lauren too, used to dress in RL style in my former career, now it's shorts, if not pj's while listing -gotta kick that habit though. Love the idea of putting wheels on all the furniture. I have eBay spread all over the house because I don't have one dedicated room with a door to close, ugh. My formerly unused living room is my photo studio, and I like to list on the sofa, as I get backaches when at the desk computer in the office, that is where I do shipping.

    Hi Karen, love love love your videos, you have such a sweet way about you. When you picked up the Betty Davis blouse I thought wow that would look great on her! So, I had to chuckle when you said you might wear it in a video! LOL. I too am dwelling alone in my late 50’s in my little ranch home and since watching you in your house tour video, “the house that sells e-bay ”, I have rethought how I need to handle things as they go through the resell process. I learned so much from that video! And now wheels, I never thought about wheels on my general furniture! Great tips, thank you so much. I am new to this since Jan ‘19. The learning curve never ceases to amaze me. My dear friend has recently joined me in this venture and we’re having great fun but will be thrilled when we can start to see a profit!🤪 You are an inspiration for sure so with hard work hopefully profit will happen.
    Hope alls well with your ceiling,
    Take care, have a lovely evening😊
