Been watching you for a year. I'm reselling as a side gig for stress relief on Poshmark. I'm an old retired Navy nurse, who's still working ( in military health care) with Covid :(. I've made pennies on posh... You inspire me! Love that your content is very real! I'll reach out!

OMG, I love Chihuly. I live near the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Columbus, Ohio, and it carries the largest Chihuly collection in a Botanical garden. All his pieces are amazing. I love each and every one of them. I'm one of those Glass art lovers. I love them so much I sometimes get a tear in my eye from the beauty of them. Also my dad was a glazier and cut, and put together many stained glass pieces then installed them in churches, homes, etc. He worked at Franklin Art Glass studios many years ago. I've always loved anything made from glass. I have a bottle with a stopper that my dad got with a bunch of others in 1962 on one of his jobs of picking up glass, and visiting a glassblower (his friend) he knew , the man gave him a full set.
I found a free-form sterling heart pendant marked Tiffany and Elsa Peretti when I was metal detecting a playground sandbox in Oregon. It was the first silver piece I ever found!
I purchased a quart jar of jewelry at a salvation army thrift shop and inside was a ladies Cartier and a ladies Gucci they both run and have been authenticated
Fantastic video today! You give an incredible amount of value to us crammed into twenty minutes--such a rich learning experience always! Thank you, Dr. Lori!
I get the blue box every week. Ive found some great stuff but haven't got THAT lucky yet. Did find a citizen watch the other day tho worth a couple hundred!
Last week I thrifted a gold brooch for $4.99 because I thought it had a very interesting texture and I saw something that I thought could be a designer signature or metal content. Well, turns out my instincts were right! It was stamped 750 and the initials C.B.for Carl Bucherer a Swiss company. It weighs in at 15.7 grams. This is defo the best score to date. I have also found a mint large Vintage Burberry Blue Haymarket bag but can not find it anywhere online… I’m convinced it’s authentic but the only other one I’ve seen the same has significant damage and no identifying info about it. Do you appraise purses? Love watching your videos!
You are the best! Omg, what great finds!!!!! I love that painting, I would have grabbed that so fast. Paintings are so hard. I can usually tell if they’re worth something or not but can hardly ever make out the signature and I find it impossible to look up artist painting info even when you do know the artists name.
Dr. Lori - if I might make a request/suggestion/production note: While we subscribers/followers adore you, it would be great if you would show the items you are speaking about for longer than a couple of seconds? About 98 percent of your "bargain finds" videos show you talking, but since it is the items we are most interested in, perhaps you can show those items for a few more seconds? Thank you!
Well, you say you adore me but sounds like you want to see less of me ... LOL. Thanks for the suggestion. You can always rewind the video and rewatch to study the object.
Real bargains don't just "show up" in thrift stores. They have a history....often a sad one. When my daughter died, my sister showed up first and went through her things. In my grief, I didn't pay attention to what she did. She shipped off to Goodwill a box of special things I had set aside that were sentimental. This included all the jewelry I had made for her and I am sure people like you happily snapped it up. I tried, but was unable to retrieve anything. Attached to all these "finds" is a loss for some poor unknown person. If you are reveling in profits for yourself, please don't forget that it's a loss for someone else who may have been desperate or down on their luck, forced to give up their things. It's not just all about money.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I always encourage people to find out what they have first before giving pieces away. I also suggest the same for resellers and thrift shops before they place things up for sale. Of course I understand that you didn't have that chance in your unfortunate situation.
Cheri, I’m so glad you took the time to share your heartfelt thoughts. Our home was burglarized shortly after my moms death, before I had time to get her jewelry appraised and insured. Two jewelry boxes taken in their entirety, plus so many other valuable pieces. I’m sure someone somewhere got an unbelievable deal! Many items that may have gotten thrown out or donated… will forever be missed.
Hi curious! I have been wondering the same thing about the asparagus jar ever since Dr. Lori placed it on her set! I just love the color and the shape!
Hi Dr. Lori! Just found out about you about a month ago and love your shows. I have a ton of old jewelry and other items that I have no idea what they’re worth. But I love listening to your show and learning everything you are kind enough to share with those of us who are ignorant to the value of what we have. I would love to schedule a time for you to walk through my house and let us know what is valuable and what isn’t so I know what to leave to my husband and children when I die. The rest I can get rid of with a garage sale and give them the proceeds. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m not sure how to schedule a time for a walk through if that is even a possibility. I’m not very good at the internet but getting better. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!
Am so happy that this came up on my youtube site. Am learning so much about from you. Thank you for making these videos about glass, ceramics, books and jewelry. God bless.
A long time friend gave me boxes and bags of jewelry because her fam said junk it's broken and sewn. Born 1907 and was a belly dancer. I can't seem to sell anything.there was a watch no strap with Hebrew time. Interesting i know 11 in another language. Thank you Dr Lori. Luv you P.S. what's with people that don't measure.your nice . Luv luv luv
I just love your videos.... I believe you are really an EVANGELIST 🤭...The souls you could inspire 😘 Thanks for all the fascinating facts about historical pieces.🏆
What happens when the thrift store writes the price in black marker on the back of those amazing paintings?? Drives me crazy when it’s on the actual paper etc.. does that drop the value seriously? how do you deal with it do you leave it or cross it out or??
Hi Dr. Lori I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, Do you provide information on how to sell treasures people find? Thank you again for you sharing !!
People use my online appraisal reports to help them sell. The reports include a location where a similar piece sold and for how much. This helps answer your question for a specific item. One person used my report to help them sell a plate for over $1,000. They bought the plate at a yard sale for $1.
I have a Lladro angel (about 5 - 6 inches tall) signed and dated (with certificate) by David Yadro. Would like to know what the value of it is these days...

Dear Dr Lori my mother just passed and I've inherited a whole bunch of corning wear with the blue pattern on it! Does it have any value? Also I have a vase that was purchased in the 30s made of Black Amethyst Glass, can you give me a clue as to if it's real Amethyst? When you shine light through it the light looks purple! There is a card from my GMA inside that states that it was aquired in theearly 30s by my GREAT grandmother and handed down to her for her wedding!

Dr. Lori, I have a Paloma Picasso cross necklace that I have had for at least 35 years. It clearly has Paloma's signature on the right cross piece, and clearly is stamped sterling and Tiffany on the upright of the cross. I gave it to my granddaughter for her confirmation today. I am taking it to a jeweler to get it cleaned properly and shined up. Can you give me any idea of its value?

Hey dr. Lori just found you a few hours ago! :) Love the content but couldn't find any info from you on how to clean vintage coffee cups with gold rim that looks kinda red-orange. I tried with tooth paste and the whole gold rim came off ahhhhh Would appreciate your help :)
@@DrLoriV 😂😂😂 I know right, I guess I didn't ask my question properly.. When buying vintage China is it best to not clean it at all, coz I watched a lot of RU-vid videos recommending cleaning it with baking soda or toothpaste. But as I said the gold is gone. So my question was in order to preserve the piece in good condition do we clean it with something so it goes back to it original color or just leave it like that? Thank you so much for your time and knowledge, I appreciate your answers and insight 😊 I live in South Germany now and these pieces are literally left in boxes on the streets 😊
@@ZandraVox I'm sorry your piece is now damaged, but it raises a good point that I talk about all the time. Know your sources for information. I've seen many pieces ruined over the years by people watching incorrect how to videos. Not one answer fits all. When you have a stain on clothing, the material of the clothing and what made the stain matters how you clean it. Then, you still might not get the stain out. Make sense? There are expert professionals who do this for museums.
