I absolutely adore how you mention the key words and show detail about the items you pick up. I find a lot of value in your videos. Thank you for the quality information!
Karen, I love your videos. I love you! Started watching your more current videos and decided to go back in time to watch these older videos...so hooked. You are my fav reseller. AND you inspire me for my own business. ❤💋✌
"Yes" to another Karen video! Keep them coming-always so informative! I am a 50-something and a teacher but am about to retire from the classroom in late June. Have been "dabbling" in Ebay while on my 2 week break and have had $400 in sales without really even trying with thigs around the house.. I can see how this could be addicting!
I love your personality.You are a real fun lady that doesn't look old enough to be Melissa's mom. Thank you for the upbeat video's.There is so much stress in everyday life that it's good to have a happy video .Thank you. 😇
Ok, I’ve gone back in the archives watched all your videos now and I have to say that I love it when you say “YES, to bla,bla,bla” on an item you recommend picking up. It’s so fun! Thanks for being such an inspiration and for sharing all your selling experiences! 💖
Hello Karen. I am a woman of a similar age. I am a widow and within a year of retirement from a career in nursing. I have loved "thrifting " for many years. I am seriously inspired by your videos to help my retirement income by selling items on-line. You are very sweet...I love your style!
I found myself coming all the way back to watch her first videos from the beginning 😊. 5:56 No go pro for her 😊 she has a camera crew ❤ I’m enjoying all her videos so far. I barely started watching her a couple of months ago and I’m so glad I found her😍
I watch (or rather listen) to a lot of reseller RUclips videos while I work my day job. There are only 2 youtubers that I watch the moment the video comes out. Yours is one of them! And, when I notice that your video was was 39 minutes I was overjoyed! Most of the time with other RUclipsrs it's hard to listen to a 39 minute video especially when they're doing thrift with , except for your daughter's ship with me videos. I love those! I love how you you broke up the Thrift with me with hauls in between, that was pretty awesome! I love that you're getting into hardgoods more, that is my favorite. I hope the videos get easier to record and edit and you're able to put out many more. So excited to have found you. I watch a lot of resellers, and you are by far the best! Mostly because you believe in buying what you like, and I have always wanted to and do just that since I started reselling in February.
I'm always interested in how people got started in what they are doing , thrifting/ reselling.Going along with you to stores & garage sales & looking at all the items people have for sale & what you paid for them. Love watching that. Thanks for letting me tag along.
I'm dying!! The bowl that weighs a "gajillion" pounds! I can so relate! It catches my eye, I love it, no question or consideration of weight and hassle of shipping, into the cart it goes!! That really just made me laugh out loud! Thanks again for sharing your joy of thrifting! I love living vicariously through your finds! :D
Karen I love your videos. I'm a reseller too around the same age as you. You're very inspiring. I think the 2nd poster is a Van Gogh. The colors and style remind me of him.
Thanks for adding another video. Can hardly wait to watch another. You are so natural and watching you is very relaxing. Just like your daughter! I would love to see how your research some of your things; research to pricing to listing. Would love for you to educate us on that! Thanks Karen. I really am enjoying your stories!
Crazy, I can't believe how much I am learning from you on what sells and what to look for. If I was to go all long tail items I would have to get a storage unit.
Amazing, I just watched your third video and thought to myself how bummed I was that you only had three. Next thing you know this one popped up with 0 views! I realized I might be the first one to see it. Had to stop after 2 minutes to make this to encourage you and let you know how excited I was that a new one came through. Keep going!I'm only a couple years behind you and this is so motivating. I'm going to try to put myself out there soon too. Been selling for a couple of years but haven't done any RUclips videos yet. I'm only over in Maryland so pretty close in age and proximity. This makes me feel connected to your story!!
I love everything you bought. Especially like the cat picture. I’m a car lover. We move to the country two yrs ago and had a feral momma kitty come up. We made friends with her. And we were just in kitty heaven when the babies came. We made sure to spay and neuter them and found good homes for them. Sadly momma kitty was taken. We pray for her to return. I would very much enjoy thrifting in your area. The weather looks perfect. It’s very humid in Tennessee. Not getting out as much as I use to in the heat. Most of my thrifting I do at our small towns local thrift stores. All of the money gets put right back into our community. So it’s really a win win. Money In my pocket and money for families in my community. God bless, Leslye
Love you Karen! I am Karen too! Reseller and we are around the same age and stage in life-give or take. You can make mistakes. It is really part of life. Hang in there, you are doing great!
Hi from Australia. Your videos came into my utube news feed. I have never been interested in second hand goods. I watched your channel for interest and become hooked. Love your videos.
Hi girl you are like me the whole basement is full but we keep going and buying more. I like your saying go out and get what’s yours . You are doing a great job as a single woman keep up the good work thanks for sharing your life. I’m hoping to win the lottery and I can give a lot of my stuff back to goodwill lol. It’s a tuff job hauling listing and looking takes up a lot of our time which is important.
Hi there! I was so excited to see that there was another video from you when I logged on to RUclips this morning. It’s funny because after I started following you on Instagram, now when I go sourcing I always think to myself “what would Lavender choose if she was here...lol. Also, I think that religious picture is Christian Orthodox/Greek Orthodox Icon. That is my mom’s religion and I have seen many icons in my lifetime. They usually have round circles like halos behind their heads and made very beautifully. Thanks for another great video. You are very inspiring!!! 😊
Thanks for sharing your story. I watched your interview with Mellissa and found the journey to be quite amazing! You've got me looking up info like that on the cowboy hat. I'm sure you have discovered by now...Rocky...Robert P. Bleier. Military Hero, NFL Pittsburgh Steelers/4 Super Bowl rings, Author of his own story, which was made into a television movie in 1980. He's had a journey himself. Anyway, I'll have to follow you further and see what the signed hat is about. I remembered, you said start selling things from your house. I'm thinking about it!
I’m not sure if anyone mentioned but that cowboy hat should bring high dollar. Check what Ricky Blier signature goes for. I’m pretty sure he is a hall of fame member. I live 1 hour north of Pittsburgh and he was a friend of my ex’s family
I enjoy seeing what you find and where.my favorites are home decor, I no longer pay full price for the items I am hunting for.Since I’m not into resale Brand names are not as important as good quality.
Karen, you have inspired me to not give up. After a bout of pretty serious sickness, my sales dried up. I have a good amount collecting dust in my “eBay” room. Nothing new listed. I am going to reinvent, revamp thanks to you.
I was just saying the other day that I am so glad that it is now rummage sale season so I can sell "stuff" rather than clothes all winter long from thrift stores!
How do you feel when someone asks, “what do you think it’s worth, make me an offer.” I’m thinking, “well, I think I can sell it for $300, would you take $5 for it?” Lol - I like items to be priced bcuz being catholic, the guilt will get to me 😆
I wouldn’t feel guilty, you have to remember it’s a yard sale and the people want it gone. As long as you aren’t offering a dollar or two. If you are thinking high dollars there is nothing wrong with $10 because honestly they probably aren’t expecting $10. Plus they have the option of rejecting you or countering. Don’t feel guilty!
I love you, you are doing a terrific job and I’m leaning a lot. I would like to start doing videos but I’m afraid But I feel I’m learning and gaining confidence by watching you , so thank you so much.. Margie Berget Cape Coral FL
at 39 minutes and 27 seconds I just wanted to tell you that I think the music is fantastic and if you keep on the way you are you are going to surpass the crazy lamp lady
Love your video!!! I have watched your daughter for a long time and glad to see you are in the video business now. I am in the York PA area so I come Lancaster County to thrift one or twice a month. Keep up the great work on each video.
Your hair looks beautiful!! I do the same thing too. Every time I cut my hair, I would tell my hair dresser Jenny to cut it short, then I would say it is too short to myself whever I look at myself in the mirror!😁😊
Im new to your channel. Really liking it. Im not a foo foo dress lady but that dress is beautiful. I really like many of your other finds. Thanks so much for your expertise and your time.
I am a recent subscriber. I absolutely love your soothing voice and sense of humor. Your taste is impecable. You don’t look your age. Great hair and those arms! Do you workout in your spare time? Your warehouse in the basement is so organized . Who filmed your video? Lol. I am full of questions. My boyfriends mom lives in PA. If I ever go there to visit her, would love to see the stores your frequent. I’m from Texas. Blessings!
10:23 was this ever sold and did you get it authenticated? Will continue watching for the answer but just thought I’d ask. 11:02 you have your own camera crew 😊 I love it 🥰 😊
I absolutely adore how you mention the key words and show detail about the items you pick up. I find a lot of value in your videos. Thank you for the quality information!
Thanks Laura! Im hoping to do a video about keywords :)

I’m a teacher also and have been trying, but no luck here:(. I wonder what I’m doing wrong?

Judy Berends thanks so much Judy!!
Karen looks like she is Mellissa’s sister!!!

i really like the editing on your video. You go from garage sales to talking about the item you bought at garage sales.
Amazing finds I love the music definitely helping them and reselling as a great thing

As i watched the first 3 items that were purchased i thought..."she is building a cowboy!"
Hahaha
Love your videos. You don’t look like a novice at all. Very natural. Love what you’re doing and how you’re supporting yourself! Life goals!
Thank You!!
Absolutely love the jewel looking green lamp, so unique, cute and classy all at the same time.
The religious picture features the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Both devotions in the Catholic faith. Very lovely.
Your videos are SO good. Much better than most. So informative and interesting! Your a natural.
I appreciate that greatly Nicole!
This is when you started youtube. Not bad. You are so blessed to have found Roger. Handsome dude to boot!
I think you are doing great!!! I love the packing tips and the tag lineL "Go out and get what's yours"! It is like a rallying cry.
Thanks Pamela!
This is my favorite video of yours so far. Keep up the good work Karen! LOVE IT.
Thanks Sharon!
I love your play on words in the title, yard sailing, lol! I absolutely love your videos, you are a natural in front of the camera.
Thanks so Much!
Karen I love your videos. I'm a reseller too around the same age as you. You're very inspiring. I think the 2nd poster is a Van Gogh. The colors and style remind me of him.
Nancy the clouds and swirls made me think that
Love how u format ur videos! I got married in a Laura Ashley gown. Had a beautiful bedding set, as well.
I also had a Laura Ashley suit ... in 1979-1980 , it was expensive at/for the time couldn't even sell it on eBay.. :/

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes ! Some good treasures found 👍
Another great video, Karen!
ROCKY BLEIER! Football player. Great hat
“Look at this junk I put in my car” 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I was just saying the other day that I am so glad that it is now rummage sale season so I can sell "stuff" rather than clothes all winter long from thrift stores!
I love you! Keep doing what you are doing. Just be you! :)
I enjoy seeing what you pick out.
Lol! I have that bowl with the brown stripe. Had for years, 30 plus! I call it my bean bowl!!🤣
How do you feel when someone asks, “what do you think it’s worth, make me an offer.” I’m thinking, “well, I think I can sell it for $300, would you take $5 for it?” Lol - I like items to be priced bcuz being catholic, the guilt will get to me 😆
Island Chick Designs & Finds I always try to be respectful!
I wouldn’t feel guilty, you have to remember it’s a yard sale and the people want it gone. As long as you aren’t offering a dollar or two. If you are thinking high dollars there is nothing wrong with $10 because honestly they probably aren’t expecting $10. Plus they have the option of rejecting you or countering. Don’t feel guilty!
Always negotiate! It's business after all. Just smile and do it respectfully.
I'm not Catholic but I would be the same.
I like your ability to explain thank you so much awesome videos
Love your haul. Love the green lamp.
wow, love it all, well done picker! Blessings!
Great video,I really enjoyed it! Please keep them coming! Would love to see a video about how you ship your big and bulky items!

Another great video, and great finds! 👍
Get an appraisal on the hat and signature.
Thanks Karen!
Please show how you take pictures of your items when you started your business.
Religious kitsch sold very well for me in Ireland. Curious to see who buys it. Love it and one of the best pieces I have ever seen.
Dr Lori collects sports memorabilia and can give you an appraisal of the signature on the hat.
I love the cat picture!
Oh I want that salt and pepper set.
I am a recent subscriber. I absolutely love your soothing voice and sense of humor. Your taste is impecable. You don’t look your age. Great hair and those arms! Do you workout in your spare time? Your warehouse in the basement is so organized . Who filmed your video? Lol. I am full of questions. My boyfriends mom lives in PA. If I ever go there to visit her, would love to see the stores your frequent. I’m from Texas. Blessings!
Hahaha I say "so" like every other word in my videos, just be your natural self
I watch tons of resellers that rolling stones shirt should get you an easy 25 dollar.most vintage Harley Davidson shirts to for 20 to 29 dollars.
Rings on a bowl I guess arelike the rings on a tree to show age
your videos are so interesting to watch
Love your hair cut.
10:23 was this ever sold and did you get it authenticated? Will continue watching for the answer but just thought I’d ask.
11:02 you have your own camera crew 😊 I love it 🥰 😊
