    It is so helpful to hear your thinking process on why you choose one thing over the other. Thank you!

    You have exquisite taste!!! Just started watching your videos recently and just subscribed today. And I watched your daughter Mellissa interview you on a video earlier this week. Love your enthusiasm and your goal of helping seniors get in the reselling business. I keep buying stuff but can’t quite get up the nerve to jump in yet. I am learning a lot from you and your daughter Melissa. She too is a gem. Such a sweet, gentle soul. Love to listen to her shipping videos!

    You were sooo not scattered, you rolled right along, gave great tips and were fun to listen too with your sidebar comments :) Always learn something fabulous from you!! You made a great point about picking an item up for the education of it all. Such a great point and it relieved me to hear this perspective, as I have felt badly about some purchases I’ve made. I have been excited about an item only to find that it will not bring profit, however, you are so right... it’s an education on the massive learning curve of reselling. My dearest friend and I are now collaborating together on this venture and you are one of our biggest inspirations. Learning valuable nuggets from you and trying to “go out and get what’s ours”, so thank you thank you!🤗

    I love your videos because you really don't know about everything just like me! So watching you and knowing you really are making money, gives me hope!!!! Thank you for this. You are funny and a real inspiration to me and like I've mentioned before, your voice is really soothing!

    Boston has been on my list to visit for a few years now! My hubs is a pilot and has been a couple times for work and really enjoyed it! We are building a home in Texas but when we are done we may head up north to visit your town! 😊 love your videos! I am a couple years older than you and enjoy watching someone closer to
    my age. I have a hard time watching presenters who have “vocal fry”! And YOU articulate very well. Don’t worry about the hair comments, you do a fantastic job😊❤️

    Your selection is extremely eclectic! Great hints for resellers, to diversify your store, that way you get a variety of customers that might see something else they like and possibly spend more. On your pitcher you might put applied frosted finish, it appears to have texture along with the frosted finish. Your tool description cracks me up. I would sell your tools on Facebook Marketplace, saves the shipping and men pay up for tools. Same thing for the guitars - so much less hassle with no shipping.

    Seeing you pick up linens had me looking for them more. I found a set of 8 crate and barrel cloth napkins. Paid $2 and sold for $32!

    Hi Karen, another great video. You have such a good eye for finding the nicest items. Love the quilt and baby blanket.

  • @kadmta1
    @kadmta1 5 років тому +2

    Baby clothing as well as big kids clothing do well in lots/bundles😀.. I do sell baby clothing, but I sell them in bundles, unless it is a brand that will bring me a high amount.. baby dresses as well as big girl dresses do very well alone or in bundles, jackets and coats do well, as well as shoes.. there are certain brands that will bring in more money than others, but in order to make a profit on children’s clothing, you should only spend around $1-$3, unless the item brings high profit.. baby girl vintage dresses do very well, but you have to know which ones😀.. thank you so much for sharing with us Karen🤗❤️

  • @marybethg5505

  • @MW-ov5zo
    @MW-ov5zo 5 років тому

    Another wonderful haul. You find the most amazing items! You have such great intuition on what to pick up. Love that you share your tips. Sometimes collectible items with defects can bring more because they are unique so will be interesting to see what the lunchbox brings. I have seen Lily Bloom at T J Maxx.

  • @KimHthedarkorchid
    @KimHthedarkorchid 5 років тому

    Lily Bloom bags are made from recycled materials and highly collectible! Good find! I am a collector myself :D The wallets can be harder to find so definitely snag those if you find them. They are not very high end or pricey, but if you get them inexpensively they will sell well!

  • @marybethg5505
    @marybethg5505 5 років тому

    I love your videos!! Those dooney and Burke bags are so cute!! So many people say to stick with one thing but I don’t agree abs I love how you find all the great things !!

  • @rowenaphilbeck1919

    Those tennis shoes are expensive ones. Great for walkers/runners. Great job that you found some. I bet you can get more than 30's for them.

    With guitars it's all about making sure the neck is straight. Best budget brand that always sells yamaha acoustic. always by martin and gibson. Electric Always by gibson les paul, epiphone les paul are the cheap ones also buy fender stratocasters old ones or made in mexico know as mim.

    LUNCHBOX: Don’t remove the sticker... it could bring more, list it with the word ERROR... collectors go for that! In my opinion.

    • @Talian1
      @Talian1 5 років тому

      I was thinking the same thing, Patricia. Glad you said it. Mistakes on vintage do at times make the item rarer, which equal more dollars.

    • @sheismonalisa3146
      @sheismonalisa3146 5 років тому

      You are right. The off set sticker will make it more valuable

    Great job mama! I feel like it takes me forever to put up a listing, did you feel that way in the beginning 33 listings so far 😀. As you know I sold my first item, got a great review from buyer, YAYYY !

    • @AcornHillHomestead
      @AcornHillHomestead 5 років тому +2

      When I started eBay 7 years ago I took a full weeks vacation to get up and running. It seemed like it took me all day to list just a couple things!!! Now of course my listings are so much more streamlined as I list and take pictures by like kinds etc. it takes time to learn and get into a rhythm. Good luck, you’ll get there! 😉

      Janette Lavender you just made my day! I'm in nursing now ( breaking my back) but prior to that I lived in the SF BAY AREA and I was an assistant to a CEO in Corporate. I've never experienced such drama trying to just list an item lol! THANK YOU darling. I appreciate this more than you know. At 57, single parent to a girl with illness, nursing is killing me. Thank you 🙋🏻🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    The "baby" blankets you have are beautiful...as key words you could also use wheel chair lap blankets...they are the perfect size for that...When I worked as a CNA there were people that made that size for our residents....most of the residents like something coming their laps.

  • @vinnydabarber
    @vinnydabarber 5 років тому

    Hi Karen, I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I love it! I have been thinking about listing on ebay but never have been encouraged, now I am! I am a crafter and a thrifter. Most of my crafts are made from reused items. I have been doing as you suggested about getting started in looking around the house at things you already own to list. Some of the items I cannot find. I wonder if you could help me out with a suggestion? I have a complete set of Bradford Exchange Thomas Kincaid vintage Victorian house illuminated Christmas ornaments. You have to purchase the entire set in order to get the boxes that they go in. I have googled them and came up with nothing. I searched Bradford Exchange store and ebay. The only thing on ebay I could find was just a set of 3 for $30. But I think mine would be much more valuable since it is the complete set and come with the 2 large boxes that hold them.
    BTW, a friend of mine just sold a few of his Bass (electric) guitars for $150. each. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful tips and tricks with us! God bless,

IT IS STUNNING! Paid 15.00, any suggestions darling?

    Thank you for this video. I also sell handmade quits, like wall hangings and table runners. Here's my tip: Goodwill employees hang the quilted wall hangings with the baby quilts, and often put the table runners with women's shawls...and I fnd small Brighton media bags with children's purses--so explore the whole store! ...from Grandma Bunny--not the dumbest blond in Arizona!

Also if you can 't find the exact guitar as someone as my hubby is a musician and well I messed up listing a bass guitar and a customer was going to report me for my mistake. I always ask him now to be exact thanks for another video I'm new to your channel so catching up on older videos
