Ebay Reseller Couple Turns Goodwill Purchase Into Gold| 

Shannon crystal is made in Ireland. Very good quality.

Goodwill can take a flying leap. They're so greedy, between holding the best items back to sell online and raising prices when, as I always say, they get their inventory FOR FREE. I haven't shopped in a Goodwill since the end of last year, because luckily the other stores here are better (though everyone seems to be jacking prices right now, thank goodness for the honey hole antique stores). I don't even donate to them anymore, I donate to local stores. Rant over! Congrats to you both on that great find/sale, and even more congrats on getting hitched!

I make Victorian lampshades so I would have bought that lamp in a heartbeat! New handmade shade and sold for about 1.k !

My hubby still has his Lionel steam engine train set that he got when he was 3 yrs old and he’s 74 now.

Fun video. I love the clear isle. So overlooked. I too have been known to save a nice pot with a chip or two in my day. Ceramic/pottery pots are darned expensive new, but if I am using them to put a plant in I don't mind. They still look much nicer grouped in the garden, over plastic pots any day and the plant covers up the chip anyway.

I so wish that I lived closer to you. I'm in New Jersey and our good will never has anyting. You are Goodwill's always look like they're packed. I'm trying to start a business and it's so hard when you go to a Goodwill and they really don't have anything. I'm a senior citizen and I'm low income so I'm trying to increase my income. And you guys are so good at this!!! I so enjoy watching your videos. You're just such a sweet person. Have a fantastic day even though it's pouring down rain and now it's thundering. Much love to you both. 🌹🤗❣️

The lamp with the abalone shell inlay is Korean lacquerware.

I would have totally grabbed that black with mother of pearl! That was beautiful

I have found that many of our Goodwills are overpriced, I’ve cut way down on shopping there. I would rather go to one of the two bins in my area and get 3 or 4 times the items for the price of 1. I find that I do well with estate sale items, as well as habit for humanity. That hero scape is a real bolo, I’ve never heard of it. Love how you and Roger are such a great support for each other, each with your own style of items.

I could almost guarantee that large white/off white Lamp in your cart is from SEARS I had the exact one in my bedroom as a teenager in 92’

I love that you and Roger thrift together....my husband will go but sleeps in the car until I'm done,geez😂

Modpodge that lamp base! And I love the black lamp with the abalone design the crystal rose bowl could turn a profit

Not many people are taken with clear glass. I, on the other hand, love it more than anything else, especially if it’s shines and sparkles. I don’t have young children so I have a couple of odd crystal glasses in my bathroom plus crystal and gleaming glass votive holders. They are so beautiful when the lamp is on or when the sun is shining through the window.

You guys are certainly easy on the eyes. 😘

I have the same pressed glass biscuit jar/cookie jar. In approximately 1992, it came from the Corning Glass/Corelle Outlet Store at what was then the Outlet Mall in Sarasota FL. I assume it was sold at all their stores. It sold for $10.00 and they sold them by the hundreds. I hope this information is helpful.

Goodwill at one time gave seniors their discount everyday now it’s only Tuesday and at our Goodwill they just recently said that Senior discount could not be used on tags that are $1.99 that day. They are slowly losing sales. Like you said there are many other Thrift stores! Wow what a fantastic profit you guys made, perfect partners😄❤️

If this Ebay thing doesn't work out, becoming a stand up comedienne is your next career. The other day, you almost made me spit my lunch out. Lori

The cookie jar is Anchor Hocking from the 70s. My grandmother had the exact one and always kept butter shortbread cookies in it for her grands.

Karen hello , I just love watching you . I am so glad I stumbled up on you’re channel . I have went back and watched all youre past videos and can’t wait every week to watch youre next video . Since watching you I’ve decided to start doing it myself . And now it’s just learning what to pick up and to price the item . I want to it full time I think I would enjoy it . I’m just now trying to get my husband on board . We both work our own hours having a business of our own . So that gives us a lot of free time to do what ever we want . I could go thrifting every day but not got him to that point . When we married 20 yrs ago he had never even been to a yard sale have been working on him all these yrs . I have finally got him where he realizes yard sales and all the other places to thrift from . I have got him into it some if he would be 100 % that would be fantastic. But until then I’ll take him wanting to part time . I have learned so much from you in just the past few months from you and a few other resellers here . And I’m so so excited for you and Roger you can really see you’re love for each other . I smile everytime I see y’all together. Thanks for sharing you’re sweet journey of Roger and you . Can’t wait to see you’re new bedroom I know it’s going to be Gorgeous! I am from Arkansas and man how I wish we had all the thrifting places y’all do there or maybe there are some around I’ve just not found them . I’m keeping my eyes open for any thrifting place I can find . Thank you so much for you’re continuous videos and sharing all you know . Congratulations to you and Roger be blessed Melissa from Arkansas .

The Czech clear bowl was probably a Crystal Rose Bowl. It looks like a small one so probably in the $30 range larger ones I have sold for 65 pair.

Asking Roger about the lamp reminded me of when I ask my husband if this outfit makes me look fat- men really don't want to answer in case they say the wrong thing.

I feel about toys the way you feel about clear glass. I just can't wrap my brain around them. But you might be changing my mind based on the score you found for Roger. 😄 Great job and great eye.

Yes, Shannon is good. Right before that I think you passed up a smaller version of that pressed glass biscuit container

I remember those, ( the first lamp) but they had flowers and bows on them, and came in matching sets, I had a set with punk/mauve bows under the flowers.

I'm a bit out of it, but Shannon, Ireland used to be known as a location in Ireland that made some of the best crystal. When I sold crystal in the 1980's, 24% lead was the standard by which quality crystal was measured. The lead makes the crystal more sparkly. Sometime in the late 80s a law was passed in the U.S. that the lead percentage had to be reduced due to potential lead poisoning. Lead poisoning isn't really a problem unless a person stores food or liquid in the 24% lead crystal for an extended period of time.

The green apple dish is from the early 60's.

Wonderful flip on toys.

Another great video! Love seeing you and Roger thrifting together. I have purchased items from both of your stores because of your RU-vid channel, Karen, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have learned so much from you.

The food on the shelves does seem odd. Who's to know how it was previously stored. That is scary... Hello Karen & Roger

I was watching an episode of Monk and he was in Mexico and there was a similar chandelier in his room like your hot air balloon one.

Pink is a GREAT color on you Karen!!! So beautiful! Thanks for another GREAT video!

The Goodwill's in my area are no where near as expensive as the ones in your area and I'm in So Cal! I don't blame you for shopping elsewhere! You're right, there are lot's of thrift stores that don't charge those prices.

I loved the pale blue lamp you showed & put back.

I would be REALLY interested in learning what percentage of goods Greedwell takes in as donations and what percentage is actually SOLD as opposed to what percentage is DUMPED into the landfill. I'm pretty sure they don't have any type of comprehensive Inventory Management System that would reveal that, but I'm certain that they discard a much, much higher percentage of goods than they sell... OF COUURSE, they don't sweat THAT because everything comes to them completely FREE of CHARGE... what a deal! (I find it morally reprehensible considering how they operate, but who wouldn't want a businees model just like it?!? 😏) I'd love to see Greedwell de-escalate their prices across the board with an eye toward SELLING MORE and DISCARDING LESS. Would love to see them initiate something like a "Throwback Thursday" each week where all clothing prices roll back to pre-inflation levels. I will bet that they'll sell tons more items on THAT day than they did the day before or will the day after... just a little experiment whose time has come!

Ravensburger puzzles are great. My kids really enjoyed them. They have excellent images.

Love the teal lamp! Wow, Karen, what a haul of those toys you handed to Roger, and what a profit from the sale! Congrats to you both!

WOOOAHHHH😱 I have never heard of Heroscapes before!! I sure will look for them now!! AMAZING flip congrats on your sale!!🥳🎉

Thank you Karen! Wow, good to know about heroscape!

I love your intro! Love your videos as well. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you so much.

I love the new Intro. It's fabulous !!!! and your videos are very informative. I now really look closely at Goodwill's and grab so many goodies. The renovation looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the completion. Thank you.

Fun video Karen! I love seeing you two thrifting together. And what a great find you had made!

I’m in central Pennsylvania and it’s miserable weather ⛈️ 😩 thank you for the vid guys ❤ Dawn

Another great video Karen. Can't wait to see more of your home but our weather has been crazy with this rain.....

We love your open approach, your integrity, how organized you are. I feel warm and welcome when I watch your channel. You guys are lovely!

Good Morning Karen! Enjoying your video on this beautiful sunny morning while having coffee & waffles. Tyfs your trip to Goodwill today. I have loved buying lamps over the years & sold mostly at my room in an Antique Mall or at local Antique/Vintage Sales. Great flip for Roger on the Heroscape that you purchased. Steak & Lobster it is Karen!! Patty 💚🐦🎶 Alberta 🇨🇦🍁

Wow! 25.00 turned into $571.00. Phenomenal!!

Love the lemon wreath on your door ❤

You are very fortunate to have well stocked goodwills. Our goodwill in geneseo ny is very sparse for hard goods. Hopefully, yardsales produce more treasures!

Hi Karen and Roger! Enjoyed your video. Glad you’re finding items bringing in a great profit!! 🥰♥️

I enjoy watching your progress.

I agree the lamp you were going to take for your place looked like it was from 90s maybe sold at Walmart.

Hi Karen: So proud of you, did I just here you say: “ Lamp for OUR living room?” Keep practicing!!! Love ya from Vegas!!!😊😊😊

I always look through clear glass even though I don’t know much, but I like to learn cuz you can find amazing pieces!

You might start looking at just the frosted glass for Lalique crystal. It can be worth hundreds.

Love this!!!

I’m a PA girl too ! Just posted a thrift Haul Vid !

thank you for your videos. I've decided to do this too. i to live tonight to introduce myself then the adventure begins. wish me luck and thank you thank you thank you for all of the advise

The owl leather decanter is from Spain: Raymon Artesanía

Love the salt and pepper shakers.

Great show I couldn’t figure which lamp was going with you lol

Hi Karen an roger sending you both lv uk Ann ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

Never heard of HeroScape but will keep my eyes peeled for it! Higher prices mean we have to be much more selective these days. I used to carts full of items at goodwill and now i often get a couple items

Nice haul and cutest couple every! :))

Sorry no gold at Goodwill. Anything of value goes on line or elsewhere😢. Greedy Goodwill. The people working there said they check everything on line and eBay and the managers take care of it😂

Love your new opening!

The problem with the higher pricing is EVERYTHING had gone up. Personally, I can always find clothes for a decent price but not as quickly as I use to. Especially not for real leather bags and shoes... but 17.99 is far too high for a used swim suit... yeah, I think Goodwill is basically keeping up with the times🤔

the biscuit jar is an Anchor Hocking Sandwich Glass cookie jar. It's based on an old antique sandwich glass pattern.

That shade was epic

Many blessings and much much happiness on your upcoming nuptuals. May God Bless you and your you union.

🌼 Enjoy you both so much! 🥰🙏

Nice new intro. I'm just back in Florida from New Jersey and was only able to go to a few Goodwills and an estate sale. I did have to buy a bigger suitcase. Didn't have time to cross the Delaware.

The forest green lidless sandwich cookie jar used to sell. Sent one to Alaska in the 90’s for about $30.00.

I'm with you on the clear glass. It's very pretty but I know nothing about it. I do know the Shannon crystal is from Ireland.

Chinese black lacquer with mother of pearl inlay lamp. I'd had swooped on that.

Enjoyed your content and browsing your eBay shop…

We have two colors in our store in our goodwill. And our prices have not gone up much. I have heard of others complaining that they have gone up but I go every day because the goodwill where I live is half way to my mom’s house so I stop in a lot.

I think that the black lamp is papier mâche. Many of the Chinese abalone trays and boxes are made that way.

Great new intro, very professional!

You 2 are a perfect match!!!

Love the new intro!

I had no idea about Heroscape and wow, what a profit!!!

Your hubby reminds me of mine!! You are such an adorableccouple!!

That 3rd lamp. 😍 It's too bad it wasn't in good shape.

yeah only buy etched or in pairs turning purple or label easy look up even apothocary bottles with great stoppers,,

Clear glass is good if it hits your senses in a great way.

I like the other green salt and pepper shakers to

I think on clear glass pieces tat are signed by the artist will be worth because taking the time to etch the name in like Waterford is going to cost money so the company must know they a re going to get a LOT for the piece... clear smooth bottom also indicative of quality because they tool extra time to polish ... And unique pieces things you have never seen before and use the word" oddity" ... I used that word recently on a very old listing and now I have 2 watchers LOL.. I know it will never sell but honestly I do not want to sell it . Just sold my favorite silk scarf and I am sad it is leaving but getting a good amount for it , knowing it will be used again and it is going overseas kinda takes the sting out of the loss

Damnit I would have bought the blue lamp! The stain I would have the back! Oh well........ we are all crazy girl just different version talked to your daughter Mellisa about that! WOW Yeah Roger 571.00 great sake and I love the black desk table!

I would love to find a pottery lamp. Your lamp is fantastic!

❤❤❤you are fabulous

The base was fine on the lamp , it’s the shade that dated it.

Love the video ❤❤❤

I want the leather owl!!! ❤

That japenese lacquered mother of pearl inlay lamp cha ching!

Stunningly beautiful, wow

The lamp looks like a Pottery Barn dupe! Needs new hardware though.💡

Don't think you need rose bowls in pairs. I can't understand how Waterford makes it to Good Will or Thrift stores, but they do. My mom spent a lot on Waterford for herself and my sister and me.

Thanks. What is Rogers full-time job?

no lamp please! LOL

Such a classy couple
