Paul revere? Who knows. Creepy drinking out of his head. This is my fourth day retired and full time eBay. Loving it. Started on eBay 23 years ago with handmade 1840 drop sleeve shirts that I made. Didn’t take it seriously till a few years ago when I started photographing for a friend that is full time eBay. You are an inspiration. Now to try those individual eyelashes. I hate mascara. So hard on to put on without glasses. lol. I sell everything as well. Can’t do clear glass. Just doesn’t move me. Single mugs. Hmmm. Been picking up wooden items more. The little curio shelves sell so fast! Appreciate your sharing. Blessings. I love to walk too. Hard to do with the ice and snow in Wyoming right now but it’s much nicer than last year. I am a year older than you and inspired that you found Roger thrifting. Maybe I will find my true love in the shoe aisle.
No comments on boys and girls stuff! YES, there is such a thing. Thank you for not being afraid yo say it. I do enjoy your shopping trips with Roger.
Congratulations on the high sales in your booth. To be honest, i didn't think the booth would do well. The reason is it's on the 3rd floor & i didn't think there'd be many people able to climb 3 flights of stairs. So, I'm very happy for you!!
They have an elevator 😊
It is just as helpful to hear why you pass over an item as it is why you buy it!
The flower basket would sell in Texas. Blue Bonnets are our state flower. Wish my daughter had it in her Texas Souvenir store.
The metal hat looking things are shades from a vintage wagon wheel 'chandelier' they sit on the glass light cover (like an old hurricane oil lamp). We used to have one of these wagon wheel chandeliers in our dinning room. It was in style when my grandparents remodeled way back in the day lol. I do miss it sometimes.
Karen, I think you are right on about the men buying the men stuff tools and electronics and sneakers. Love seeing the treasures you pick up. You are fun! ❤
The Limoge dish 1896-1920 is French Elite. About $19
The thrift stores in PA are so good you can even find a husband in them!
Lol good one!
😅
True story for her 😂
Maybe I'll. Go there😅
@@arianboisclair7527 Karen and Roger found the rarest of BOLOs.
“She looks like she needs a nap!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I almost read your mind. 🤣🙃
That cake plate was beautiful Karen! You did well on this trip.
Your kindness is beautiful👏👍👏 I love your style, your smile and never a death pile🎉 😅😂Watching you as a friend, is so lovely. You brighten my day sweetie. If I could see, and I was younger.......We could be friends. Maybe in my next life😂You put me in a silly mood. 🥰 Thank you!
NFL Vikings football coffee mug!!! Wishing you picked that one up
Yes- even more fun when the items sell!!!
Rippled Glass: When I was young and spent time cutting glass for furniture restoration, we called that glass style: Reed Glass. I'd find it in old glass front furniture doors and cabinets. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year from a hot and humid Australia. Looking forward to you videos this year too.
The glass candle holder reminds me a bit of the Kosta Boda Snowball😊Happy New Year Karen! Thank you for all your wonderful videos❣
Yes the little etched glass bowl looks Princess House
Late coming in, but I believe the little fish bowl earlier on was a Princess House cut from 40 or so years ago.
Those tiles look interesting!❤
Yes, I love them.
Great video and lots of neat finds! I love your run-down on your booth's profits.
That wrought iron look basket you picked is is made by Southern Living at Home and MLM company started by Southern Living magazine. It comes in a set of 2 a large one and small one. It’s not worth a lot but if you get the set at a yard sale price it’s good bread and butter
Your makeup is absolutely perfection!
Years ago, before they dated things,items stayed on a shelf until they sold. Depending on the store, that could be years and we had no idea.
I love when you show the dish section
I would love to see your new booth.
I missed that video. Well done.
Thanks for sharing how much you made.
I love watching you thrift, and pulling sold from your inventory.
I love how organised your basement is for storage.
I live in Germany & they don't have antique malls/booths.
Europe is very different.
It facinates me as to what you can do in the USA.
So much is possible whereas it is not so in Europe. Even your online shops like eBay, Poshmark, etc are American companies.
Often, they dont cater to the European markets, and shipping and tax just make it too expensive.
I also dont buy on Amazon because of the shipping and taxe costs that get added to items shipping into Germany.
It frustrates me as I would like to support small business owners rather that superstores.
We do have second hand shops, charity shops, and lots of flea markets in summer.
But social shops are small, the are not anything like the huge sizes of your Goodwills.
Goodwill actually take all the best donations out for themselves.
I watched a video about this. Laura Caldwell from Left Coast Revivals and The Vintage Bombshell went back of house at Goodwill.
We got to see the truth about what Goodwill do with the best most valuable donations.
They have machines that test gems, gold & silver.
They also employ art evaluators.
They sell the cream of the crop donations online to make a high profit, and the rest goes to the shops. Then then bins, etc.
Maybe some good vintage slips through the cracks or is not going to make enough profit and go to the shops.
Maybe that is why some Goodwills in certain areas only see the junk.
It depends on the demographics of a town or city.
In Germany the social shops cater for people who are struggling.
The German culture has a good donation culture.
After living here fir 4 years, I have figured out where to go and which shops have the best prices. Some shops sell their clothes very cheaply, and hard goids are higher.
Some shops sell the shoes and clothes at a higher price, and the general stuff cheaper.
And it depends who is on duty at the till.
Nothing has a price on it so you hope you get a good price. 🤔😁
Thanks for sharing Karen. Wishing you and Rodger Happy New Year, may 2024 be everything you wish for.
Your hair looks very pretty, as usual!😊
Happy New Year to you, Roger, and the rest of the family🎉❤️🙏🏼
Hi Roger and Karen. Love your videos
Ok I'll let ya know something. I frequently go on goodwill online pages and Pennsylvania I buy so many high high end clothing brands. How the buy it now stops the bid process and its so reasonable. Alot of that one store where you find no great stuff yes its on there for sale quick. The bidding has moved up to average 2 day only bids. Or buy it now added features. So if you walk in. And go where did all the good stuff go in this one store. They are aggressively selling on the online. And yes I got some awesome 100,- 300$ clothing items in my size for 25 or 35 including shipping.
Wow! I can't believe that you have had the booth a month already!
Fish owl pattern looks like Princess House
Thank you for sharing all your learned ways of cleaning shoes. You mentioned a yellow sponge to work on the boots. What is this tool? I just started and have many pairs of different types of shoes and want to make them look great for the customer. Thank you for your help.
Am I the only one who wants to know more about the cow head??? Who makes it? I gotta know!
Stay Blessed❤
What’s the name of your booth in Hummelstown? I shop there a lot! I’d love to purchase an item from your shop. I may have already but don’t realize it. Great antique shop! My fav
3rd floor it’s called Down the Rabbit Hole ( YLCL ) is my code
You just said you sell everything then said no to the glassware !😂
Hi, I happened to see you on RUclips just now, and I just subscribed to your Channel. I am a newbie. As for the Yeti brand tumblers, the metal ones that have the yeti name on it; those sell for around $45. I got one as a gift last year, and since I never heard of the name, I looked it up online and was surprised to see just how much they went for. The one I got was Inscribed with the letters of my name on one side, and then my full name on the other side.
Paul Revere, great patriot
Tell us about the orange sponges (Brand) you use to clean shoes/other with.
Thx! 😊
Oops….yellow foam sponges??? Not orange. 😂
@@marthajenkins46 She buys foam rubber padding and cuts it into pieces.
Tervis tumbler factory is in Fla. Fun to do the tour.
I had to stop earlier today so I’m starting over👩
I love skiddles it's the best game
Hello Karen !!
I think @8:00 that could be Kosta boda? The top looks like it, the bottom might not. Not sure.
Beautiful cake plate!

Idaho thrift stores, in general, are not very good. Headed south this year to check out the Boise area.
Well you do have a lovely voice
Paul rever was the face

If you don't keep track of your items in a spreadsheet as to what you paid for a given item, how do you report the net profit of your sales when you file your taxes??
eBay supplies a 1099 of all my sales and my accountant subtracts all the expenses including my total COG receipts
@@lavenderclothesline Oh, good to know. I was under the impressive that I could only deduct my COG on items that actually sold that year, not the COG on items that I bought in a given year that had not yet sold. Thanks!!

I enjoy your chatter Karen.
❤❤❤
So, funny
My favorite line today picks up anthropology mug and says ,”at first I thought they were chickens, their not, their birds” lol
Always laugh when you speculate on what an item is that you can't identify. Enjoy your chatter, your insight as to why you buy and why you leave things. Keep up the good work and hope 2024 is a healthy and prosperous year for you and Roger.
Domed Cake Plate: As a man, I have to say my loose carburetor parts would display very nicely with that shade of green! LOL
Love your channel but people, please don't put a fish in a tiny bowl like that 😪
The cute fish bowl is/was made by Princess House. Their cut crystal cornflower pattern is the unique identifier. Back in the day....late 1980s & before....Princess House had a plant in West Virginia where all their hand-blown 24% lead crystal products were made. I was a consultant, so we all knew the company info. It was a good company. I loved being an independent consultant.
Just to add, this was probably never a fishbowl unless it is glass & contains no lead. Beginning in about 1990, the company always told us to tell customers not to store food or drink items in any of their items with a 24% lead content. These items containing lead could be used to serve food or drink, but not for food storage. The company after 1990 reduced the amount of lead in their items. Karen does what she calls a tap test to determine glass vs. lead crystal. The glass will just kind of have a thud noise. A piece of crystal will have a nice ring tone that resonates.
Omgosh, love your info, thank you
Yes! Princess Heritage Pattern.
I appreciate you saying that about how thrifting is not the same in all states because it really does matter. I cannot go into a thrift store here in Texas and expect to find the same quality of items that you find in Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, I still enjoy watching your channel because of your gentle voice and knowledge of items. ❤
Texas lady you might want to watch the teaching videos of Cha Ching King in Texas and the home schooler
They are amazing
Karen as a lifetime hairstylist and a viewer of your channel I've got to say off topic. I love your light hair without your eyelashes! I think you look so beautiful and although I am a makeup Queen myself and the same age as you can I often find that I look better with less. At least that's what it seems like maybe I'm just kidding myself. Love the channel you seem like a very kind person❤
Beautiful women like Karen really don't need the "more".
I love your comment about maybe less makeup on less young women is more 😊
I am 67 and I seem to be wearing less and less makeup as time goes on.
Happy your booth is off to a rip roaring start. I think the key is to keep it well stocked and take out things that haven't sold in a couple of month and put new stuff in. You can always circle back with the unsold items a few months later.
❤I think it is so nice you two found each other and both love reselling.
I have a theory on selling or working anywhere. If you do not have passion for it, you will not do well. Love your videos.
When I was 16...I am 58 now, I joined the Army and my Dad spent the extra money to buy me a pair of Tiger trainers. I loved those shoes and never was able to find another pair since, They were the best trainers I have ever had....nothing has ever compared to them!!!!! Thank you for the memory!!!
Happy New Year Karen and Roger!! Love watching your videos! 🎉😊 Praying you have another awesome year! ❤✝️
I love that you don't do a voice over. Someone else I watch, and I don't know why I watch her, does a voice over and when she finds something she says exactly what it is and maybe she does know but she already researched the piece. Those that watch her just think she is so smart because she knows what it is before even picking it up. Lol Anyways, I've said my piece, better here than on her channel where I'm sure I'd get backlash from her subscribers. To me, this is phony! You aren't Karen.
I know who you are talking about, her videos are so so long! She repeats everything she sees, I do watch but it is not as pleasurable as Karen! ❤ our Karen!
Karen thanks for sharing your struggle on your own from Long Island to Pennsylvania. That took a lot of planning. So nice your beautiful daughters, each with their own talent, was there for you.
I used to only love the clothes, but now enjoy that you shop for almost everything. The anticipation of what you or Roger may find makes your videos interesting and enjoyable. Off to another great year! 😊❤
When you see that Karen moved to PA by funding it with reselling, then eventually met Roger, it seems like there is a special "plan" from above.
Karen used to live at Long Island?
Thanks so much! It definitely was an adventure, but not a struggle at all 😊
@@Mary-e6o5xyes! Born and raised 😁💜
Lots of people live alone. You did before you got married. Not so bad. Thanks.
I always chuckle a little when I see men looking through the women's clothing, lingerie and accessories aisles at the thrift store. I think most of them are resellers, maybe a few looking for gifts and possibly something for themselves? They look as lost as I do when I'm looking at men's clothing!
You say "Would anyone want those?" and my head nods, ME ME MEL I have a dish problem. Love them all. My china cabinets are full. But maybe just one more. Been watching you for years. Roger is the best thing you found at the Goodwill! Our town in Tennessee is only 15.000 people so we only have a sad little Goodwill. You have the best job!
Love your table decor centerpiece ❤ The drinking glass was Paul Revere I haven’t seen one of those since I was a kid ( a long time ago) they were quite popular at the time. Came in other historic figures.
Great way to start off the new year! Thanks for all the tips and entertainment.
I am a germaphobe and when you all pick up and handle shoes, put on star wars helmets, or clown masks (for shame Roger), I do a bit of self talk- what good immune systems they have built up. 😂
I thrift too but no shoes or masks for me! And I might have wipes with me….😊
Same. And I saw something at the bins one time and haven't been able to go back. Lol
Where did you get your name? Could you share, what's the difference between Facebook marketplace and eBay? Fees and what ever else. Thanks 👍🏽
I used to be a walker myself until I had worked at the post office for a while and had torn my meniscus several times and had it repaired several times. Each time made it harder to continue to go for my walks. Even after breaking my leg and having a total knee replacement, I still used to walk a couple hours in the morning after taking the grandchildren to school. But now that I'm in my 60s and having hormonal issues, walking is only done when absolutely necessary. I miss it.
Happy New Year Karen and Roger! I buy those metal trays so when I need to bake for Church or a group, I don’t worry about getting it back, just cover with foil!
Super smart, you are !
Hi, Karen. If you two hadn't figured it out already, the shoes marked "Tiger" are made by the brand Asics. They make everything from running and walking shoes to cheerleading and wrestling sneakers. They've been around a long time (I was cheering in their Tiger Featherlyte's back in the day), and they were always known for how lightweight their specialty sneakers are. Happy New Year to you and your family. ✌️💙
Also, Karen, please make a brisk walk everyday! Take it from an 81 y.o. lady, when you skip even one day of walking or exercise, you'll be surprised what a difference it makes the next time. Also, because you need to go up and down your stairs many times for your business, you can't afford (not financially..lol) not to keep Mother Nature at bay. And believe me, she is insidious😅
I can't believe the amount of thermal cups on the shelves! Are they supposed to be real popular now? I can't stand them personally they're way too heavy but it seems like most people like them and they're not cheap. I gave myself away, I like cheap!
Karen!!! Now that's a gal who is always interesting!!! Roger is a lucky man!!!! Happy New Year to one cute couple!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
The fish don’t need to live in a tiny bowl…that’s a big NO
Tiny Fish Bowl: the glass etching made me think of the old Princess House pattern.
I was thinking the same. I used to sell Princess House crystal (way too expensive) I wonder if they are worth anything now.
@@lgarcya Good question about value. Don't see it much anymore, but used to find it a decade ago when we cleared estates and storage units. The only set I ever had were the tall pilsner beer glasses, which is why I recall that etched pattern. That was in the early 1980s.
The Melemine plates are Pottery Barn.They retail for $45 range . Used $35.
Good lord woman! Slow down! You’re gonna have a heart attack! You must have really been caffeinated for this one!
Italian inlaid Wood Trays: One of the big areas that produces Italian Inlaid wood trays and other objects (jewelry boxes, tables, etc) is Sorrento, on the Amalfi Coast. I still have a few pieces I found, while living in Naples in the 1990s. It's beautiful work.
Wow, nice ☆
@@Mary-e6o5x Their woodwork is beautiful on the Amalfi coast, but the 50 mile drive along coast can be extremely scary with few guardrails and high cliffs. Especially true for the passenger looking out the window, over the ledge. LOL
Put the to[s back on the boxes just because you thought it was cheap someone else might like it and want the box in good shape. Not only did you just lay the top on the box not lined up with the bottom you put that heavy picture on top of it.
Tell Roger not to scare you with the clown mask.! That couch may not be comfortable. LOL
I love you but… please never put fish in a container that small. One fish per gallon of water no matter the size of the fish.
Great video Karen. Congratulations on your sales at the booth...Well done girlfriend....
I would have picked up that anthropologie mug too even if it was not branded. For me I find that oversize mugs with contrasting interior colors sell the best.
LOL … I was saying “ Paul Revere ! Paul Revere ! “ …. And I am Australian 😮
But I believe you're right! Paul Revere.
the glass head was Paul Revere
I love the mixture of things you pick up and sell! Did you sell the Taylor Smith Dwarf Pine dishes in your booth? What are they listed for? Excited to see what you do in 2024!
They haven’t sold yet 😊
The little hanging cutting board looks Scandinavian in style --rosemaling painting.
I really enjoyed this video, it had a little bit of everything in it! Thanks Karen!
What will you do with Christmas items that did not sell by January? I have a black Christmas sweater. I am thinking of ending the sale and relisting, and just letting it become a long-tail item. Thank you for warning us about selling women's pants/jeans.
Hi I picked up the Asian plate you put back I liked it so glad you didn’t take it 😊
What a wonderful start! I just knew y’all would do wonderful.🥰
I love following y’all, thanks for taking us along, I really look forward to the videos.☺️
