Collections of Shame Longaberger Baskets Still useful for storage and organization 

Me too!!

I love them too. So happy they are back.

me too

I keep finding them at garage and estate sales for great prices. I can hardly pass them up.

Still use the ones I have and just completed my JW collection! #stilllovinlongaberger

Thank you so much 😊

Nicol Christopher I found my heritage green pottery canisters at a resale shop last fall. $35 for all four! On eBay...selling for $200 to $300

Found mine on a private FB Longaberger group, lots of good deals!

LOL, If I had a dollar for every dollar I spent on Longaberger ;) AND I inherited my MIL's Hummel collection, fortunately it's less than a dozen pcs.

That is very interesting. I've seen where they are making baskets again, and selling them on QVC.

Actually trends changed. TAMMY did try to keep the company running by bringing in a partner and selling 51% of company. Let the other company take control was the down fall. The company were nothing more than corporate raiders. They did some pretty shady things and robbed the company of funds. They did to another company at the same time and transfered the funds offshore to the Cayman islands. There is a Federal Investigation into it. TAMMY and Rachel never got paid the money they were owed when they sold their 51% stake....only partial amount, So they had to sue. But everything was liquidated in the Bankruptcy court...so they will never see a dime probably. Dresden and co bought equipment, etc. So they are now working with Tammy & Rachel making the baskets again. She really tried keep company afloat, but the shady partner financed their purchase through their own company. So when they filed bankruptcy, they were the first to get paid back....which is why they wanted to run company to ground to force sell off to pay them. They even tried to get Tammy to put the little bit of money they had paid her back into the company...so they could pay themselves and not the suppliers. Do a Google search and read all the SEC filings and Federal court cases. TAMMY just trusted the wrong partner and should have never gave up 51%, but they were backed into a corner and had to do it yo stay afloat.

@@jaditelady173mary4 I'm so glad they are back. I've seen some of their stuff on QVC and the web site. I wish them the best of luck.

I'd suggest ebay or etsy. I've had good luck selling them on etsy but you need to be patient. Research what each basket is called, they are all dated on the bottom. You might have some rare ones, so do the research. Anything over 20 years old can be sold on Etsy. Good Luck.

You can't beat their quality, I find them at garage sales sometimes. You are right, there is little to no interest right now. that won't stop me though.

I kinda went crazy with these back in the day ;)

You’re not alone !

@@donnaschindlbeck7457 Yep! Still have mine, still use mine. Never felt shame.

...and as a basketmaker from 97 to 2007, thanks for helping myself and thousands of others earn a good honest living. Being employed at Longaberger as a young adult helped me get a start in life, new house, car etc.. I still have all the employee baskets that I have personally made and have bought some out and about that I enjoyed making. Mostly sentimental and partly a debt of gratitude.

​@@1320passOh, my goodness! That is so cool! I wonder if, in my dozens of baskets, I have one you made. I still love and use mine. I think I always will. I think it is terrible when I see people paint them. Say, you don't know if there is a way to safely moisturize the baskets, do you? I recently bought a used Sewing basket w/stand and I think it got wet at some point. It feels dry and the wood, a little rough. Thanks.
