I resell on Facebook Marketplace with great success & I am almost 80 years old. Looking forward to your tutorial about this subject so it can be even more profitable. Thank you to you & Roger for always educating us on these various items!
Do you meet the buyer or ship ? I haven't had real good luck on marketplace.
I have no luck. On FB MARKET PLACE.
@@brendabunnell6759 As a 60-yr old wanting to get into buying and selling, your post is encouraging to me…maybe a kick-in-the-butt to get my act together and just go for it.
Be safe
"Free garbage!" "Is this the item that makes me rich?" The joy of the hunt. Treasures are everywhere!! Doesn't that make life more exciting? 😂❤ Thanks for taking us along!
What an awesome basket you rescued from the garbage! It is so true that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
I bet the workers were very happy that they didn’t have to put all that pottery on the shelves! Awesome find!
Hi Karen & Roger! Enjoyable Sunday morning video with a great cup of coffee & brunch! Two weeks ago ~ I had a life-altering 'Heart Surgery' & I am home recovering. I love roadside finds & have found several great items along the way.
One trip driving to another province in Canada I found 2 similar carpets/rugs miles apart & in fantastic condition. Sold them both. I enjoyed viewing your lovely garden with you. You & Roger do not let any 'grass' grow beneath your feet! Lol!
Patty ❤ Calgary Alberta 🇨🇦
Thinking of you!! And sending get well wishes! 💜💜
I love pottery for decor. My dad was a "garbage picker" and I learned from the best lol. People throw away perfectly good stuff. Your yard is beautiful!
The beautiful pottery was definitely a huge score today. I love the basket from someone's garbage! Such a fun video today!
I'm not a reseller but I pick up free items that people leave out all over my neighbourhood. I'm always walking around with my dog. Some things I keep but most of them I clean then donate to a local thrift store run by a charity that supports the elderly in this neighbourhood
Donate to homeless shelters and churches instead!
I've always liked you but I love you now!! Lol! When you looked in the trash bin! 😂 Really just stopped to look at what was thrown out!! Yay!! I make my husband so mad doing that!! 😂
Well!!! Wow!!! And Wow!!! The pottery haul, Epic!!! The small garbage haul!!! Over the moon Basket with handles!!! Karen....you go girl!!! Do we love a good free garbage haul......Yes We Do!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
"I'm so happy, I could spit!" Sounds like something I would say...made me laugh out loud! Love free treasures!!!!!
I sold & ran my entire business on Facebook Marketplace for over 7 years (Covid shut it down). I sold vintage wooden crates, but I sometimes didn’t just sell the crates, if the buyer wanted, I would also use the crates to build different furniture & shelving units. I also helped many resellers set up their vintage booths &/or markets using the crates. What started as a hobby, quickly turned in to a business. I was so busy during those years & I did it all through marketplace. Yes, I dealt with flaky people at times & scammers & all else that goes with selling on a public platform, but it didn’t slow me down at all. I was fortunate because I had a reliable source for the old crates & I didn’t have to pay for them. Being able to profit off of an item that I got for free was an amazing business model, lol. Although Covid shut down my business, I still have the crate source & if I wanted to, I could sell them again.
Go for it - as a crafter considering going to craft fairs having interesting display options would be invaluable!
@@lynnedelacy2841thank you! Vintage crates are a great way to display items at craft fairs. It seems like whenever I list any, I have a ton of interest for this very reason! :)
How did covid shut it down if you're meeting someone OUTSIDE in a parking lot ?
@@LannieLord - great question! I was still meeting some people outside in a parking lot, but not nearly as many as I was prior to Covid. The majority of my business, however, was helping people set up booths & markets, & that pretty much came to a halt. I also wasn’t able to build the shelving units, etc., I had been building in people’s homes. I was still selling some crates, but it didn’t sustain me full-time. I needed all of the aspects of the business to operate, in addition to crate sales, for it to support me full-time.
Rodgers playful energy is what I needed today! He's a ray of funny sunshine!
I'm currently helping my 85 year-old mom pack and move to live near my brother. She has one of the hobbyist cats that my grandmother did and gave to her in the early 80's. She also has a life size German Sheppard that my grandmother did. He ear got broken not long after, so he is always wearing a hat. You scored on the pottery. I would of bought those glasses, I think. So unique.
I would have taken the piece with the stripe. Great pottery finds.
Love your Peonies! My favorite flowers.
How funny, in your last video you said your shelves were getting sparse and then you find all that pottery!
The beautiful pots with the roses and gold rim top you could put flowers in them they would look beautiful 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
That'a what I was thinking! But I'm old and trying to de-clutter, LOL..
So much drama in my life, thankfully I have you to look forward to thanks for being an uplifting dependable breather!
You said “I’m so excited, I could spit”! Then I said “I’m so jealous, I could shit!” LOL😂 I would love to find that basket bag in the garbage.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Astronaut yoga cat, is that a thing? 😂🤣😅😂🤣. You’re so funny 🥰😄
Nothing better than free. I brake for roadside gifts too. Thanks for your info on moving items from your photo room to your listing platform.
That “garbage” bag is amazing
Here's my inner dialogue since discovering your channel: 1. Who's making this? 2. Do I want this? 3. Who's putting this in their home? I think your inner dialogue has saved me $$. Appreciate you. I aspire to be able to pay my bills doing what I love instead of what I have to do...#goals.
The black swan is a TeaSpoon holder, I have one from Amazon. (That one has the spoons missing) Hope that helps ☺️
I just love how you have all the patience to make these videos!! KUDOS 🎉and you have a very calming voice Karen ~ You go girl 👏 love you both ~
I’ve never seen a hose reel worth that much.
I am baffled.
Oh, beg to differ on those green glasses! Put those in the dishwasher and in the next to the last cycle, Add about 1/2 cup of vinegar! I had a well and the water would make my glasses look like that and I would do this to my glassware, but depending how long I would let it go before adding the vinegar, it might to 2 washings but I would clear my glassware everytime!
I sell lidless sugar bowls all the time, I just list as an OPEN SUGAR!!!! Do it!
Also use as small vases for my garden flowers….
Summer season is actually Road Construction Season for sure! ⚠️ 🚧
The wood and wicker basket seems like a decorative piece of art to me. Such an interesting piece IMO anyway. Your front yard landscape is lovely. Really like the cozy corner for the two of you to sit in the front yard. I had ( I moved) a large white peony plant. When it bloomed I filled vases throughout my house with the flowers. Just love how they look and their fragrance.
Your garden is so pretty. You two are incredibly hard workers! Always on the move. Love your videos….
So many baskets at one of my thrift stores today. I told myself "I bet Karen would know which ones of these are any good" 😊
I think it would be fun to see photos of you and Roger in younger days leading up to now.
Your gardens are so lovely! 🥰
Karen, go back and get the blue and lavender pottery!
Go go go!
Run, skip, or hop,
Just get it!
I agree😮
Yes I loved that bowl..
I like how you evaluate items for pick up. Glad you let go the pieces chipped and cracked. In glass I only pick up marked pieces preferably colored not flashed. Small clear cut crystal pieces are good. I pick up unique depression glass with well coated glaze....swung, footed or lidded. Marked glass figurines and novelties are a good consideration. I've picked up a lot of stuff put out on garbage day for resale too. Your front yard looks lovely.
You put the pottery items on the floor; great idea when you find stuff fast! I didn’t think of that! Did people respect your pile?❤️🙏❤️
Oh yes, I proclaimed “ everything on the floor is mine “ 😂😂👍
Cat is from early 70s because I made one in my aunt’s ceramic business. It was displayed on the floor with large plants.
You will be able to keep your booth nicely curated with all that pottery.
I loved the mid century orange and gold glasses.
Your front yard is beautiful.
Good score on the pottery. You two are a powerhouse😊.
So glad you picked your that metal lunch box! Those are so nice!
The yard is looking so good. Have a great week.
Hi Karen, don't be afraid of the dimples or thumb indentations on the pottery; it makes it personal and sometimes identifies the potter.
I really enjoy your efforts to buy the best and sell it at the right price; you are awesome!👍👏
Love your channel!
Always a great video!
Your Hostas are beautiful
Hello folks! Hope you feel refreshed from vacation🎉
I would like your video on Market Place when you do it Yes there are major scammers as soon as you put something on to sell
You look so well rested Karen. Beautiful skin.
About the cloudy glasses that had been washed in the dishwasher...I had some clear drinking glasses that had become very cloudy, but cleared perfectly once I began hand washing them.
sometimes vinegar helps with this.
Emmett Kelly was a famous “sad clown” when you and I were growing up.
He is the only clown that I can stomach
How do you find time to list? So many items!
Y’all could put those puk lights on timers inside your big white lamps in the booth. That will make them stand out like you mentioned if you had electricity. ❤
You passed a clear box full of sewing patterns. If they were vintage, they are very desirable by crafters who make junk journals or shadow boxes. I also saw a box of vintage lace that the same crafters use and is very desirable. I am not sure if you know about this. So I thought I would let you know. I am one of those crafters ❤. Other items would be buttons, vintage sewing notions, doilies, vintage slides. That’s all I can think of right now. Love your videos!!!! You and Roger are so kind. 🩷🩵
Vintage patterns are too too easy to find in the wild.
Your Goodwill always blows me away. I actually think I would get too overwhelmed with that much great stuff. Just aisles and aisles of treasure. You couldn't possibly find them all. Also blown away by how much you do. You're amazing. The both of you ♥️
Brilliant Video ❤
Oh what a great video! Love your thrifting and garbage picking! your peonies are absolutely beautiful!! the rain beat my off just as they bloomed. 🤨 That you both, you guys look so happy together!
Hi Karen! Thanks for the garden tour! Hey, I hear that ants hate mint, thyme & Lavender, Rosemary..so to keep ants away, plant MINT, Thyme Rosemary and Lavender around your house. Great find by the side of the road!
Very nice $60 basket on top of that trash can ! I have been known to trash pick . Found 2 rockers that I needed for my front porch . It's a lot of fun but I can not get into a garbage can like some people do lol loved all of your finds today !!
Ohhhh my gosh- all of that pottery!! I would be freaking out if I found all of that! I am in love! I collect pottery by a potter named David Enna. He was a local potter to the Mt. Hood area of Oregon (where I live). My mom collected his work for years & I was fortunate enough to inherit it when she passed 4 years ago. I collect his mountain scene pottery, which is really rare to find. I have found some on eBay & once on Mercari, but it’s few & far between. I think I might email you some pictures of my collection, Karen, so you can keep your eyes open for it. It is definitely something I would buy from you, if you ever found it. 😊
Girl!!! Your HAIR! 😍😍
Your front garden is so pretty
My folks had those red glasses in the early 1970s
Your gardens are beautiful!!!!
Peonies are my FAVORITE!!! so pretty!
Karen you could of put the purple pot in your booth🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
That garbage basket for free sure was a great find you stumbled on. Always ❤ your videos. (Patti)
Ur amazing Karen..love ur videos…doing fabulous today…
Love you did a garbage haul!!! Great find! Not so sure Roger knew what to think! Love you guys!!!
Great garbage find!!! Beautiful garden...btw the ants help the peonies against pests.
Emmett Kelly!!❤❤
I had that orange gold glasses. I gave away
If i had all the stuff i had from 70s and 80s id probably be rich
I am so excited for you and all that pottery you scored!!
I do fine on facebook marketplace. I live in a farming community and farmers are always looking for value items. I sell mostly agriculture related items on facebook.
Astronaut yoga cat! Hilarious!
What's nice for you, shopping almost daily, you can enjoy all the pretty stuff, even if you don't purchase it, and become a Horder!
For those who can't bare to sell or donate "family treasures", pick those that are truly irreplaceable, and take photos of those you love, but you keep stored in boxes anyway, and can't enjoy, and keep the photos in albums, and write notes about why each is special, then sell the objects, for others to enjoy, and do something with the money you've always wanted to do (perhaps a bucket list item). You will feel lighter, and your children won't have to go through an essential "Horder house" when you pass!
It's easier said than done, but I'm trying to convince my husband to do it. Our 4 children are minimalists, and in my family, of 8 brothers and sisters, I'm the one who they all say, "give it to Lisa, she'll take it!". My mom has always made us beautiful gifts. She sews, quilts, paints, knits, crochets, needlepoints, does embroidery, and made all 6 girls wedding dresses, wedding cakes..... If I'm around when they have garage sales, and I see they set out something my mom made, I ask to buy it (they give it to me), because once my mom is gone (she's 86), we will NEVER be able to replace items she toiled with her own hands to make! To me, its family history! But, the rest, we need to get rid of; my grown children are not interested in over 95% of it!
Facebook Marketplace much less scary and much safer than Craig's List!!
White plastic container from the garbage looks like IKEA container usually about $30.
I think it would like nice if you had a larger table between the 2 adirondack chairs outside. And the small table would be so cute in the corner with an ivy plant in it. I know it's not my business. I just love your house and your videos!! Sorry for advice unasked for
We haven’t finished yet 😂
Shared ideas are ok, I think. 😅💜
you are too funny! nice items love the baskets you picked! with they had this stuff in Maine
Big pottery win! Cool find! Go girl... And Roger is off getting his own treasures! Great work.. I really hope to get into this one day soon. You guys are the best!
Karen that basket reminded me of a hot air balloon as well...
I win I'm the first one to like this! ❤Kathlene
The purple and aqua that you put back is definitely one I would have got...I have a few of those colors
Karen - the pottery looks like a potters seconds. That means pieces were made, glazed and fired but there were imperfections of some kind that the potter would not place for display or sale. I have bought household pieces, for the kitchen, flower display, plant pots etc. where the imperfections wouldn't really matter.
No they’re definitely not seconds 😊
@@lavenderclothesline You may be surprised. We have many local potters as I live on the Island were all the artists live. A "second" may not be what you would expect. It can be thickness of clay, the glaze did not meet the potters standards, a lid was made but did not match up, or cracked in the kiln drying, but most people would not notice and they usually donate them, rather than have people buy them instead of their art quality pieces. They are perfectly fine in the eyes of a non potter. I use the ones I have bought as utilitarian items. I am glad you appreciate them and have saved them for others to enjoy.
When I lived in a more metropolitan area, Facebook marketplace was so lucrative for me. Now I live in a rural town, and it just doesn’t hit for me anymore. It’s a huge bummer. But makes perfect sense because there are way fewer people.
Your garden is looking beautiful.
I love pottery❤ and I love what you do.. you both are very good and organized
I love free, it's the best price of all. Love your landscaping!
Excellent pottery haul! Wanted to share with you, Karen, that I have a huge collection of pottery from Portugal (and Spain) from my travels, and I have been selling them on FBMP. Several pieces sold to the same gal, but I'm happy they are selling. So much great stuff at that GW! Loved seeing you stopping for the trash - what great finds! The front yard looks great!
I have to laugh over the one trash basket! To funny you stopped and got it! I would of also. LOL!!! Thanks for sharing!
That was a fantastic garbage day and that pottery
I love free. It's for me. I love watching you and Roger at the thrift store it's my favorite thing to do. I live in a very rural area and there is nothing to do but shop. So I'm always home watching you and Roger. Thank you for sharing I always appreciate any knowledge you can share. Thank you.
Loved the free basket. I did see a sleeping santa on the top shelf 9f thr chatchka isle.. Always love your videos. I do more clothing but have branched out into hard goods. Thought id hate it but im loving it. Thanks for all the knowledge...
Karen, moriage is pronounced
“mory-ah-gay”. Accent on the ah! Great job on the awesome pottery haul, too bad Roger missed that! 😉 lol as he skips ahead of you to get to the new cart first. 😂 Love your relationship, you guys do that so well and it’s fun to watch. ❤ By the way, you are a very hard worker Karen! That you were able to photograph and list all that new inventory!? Amazing!
All that pottery!! Amazing haul Karen. You guys have a beautiful yard!
Hello Karen and Rodger, I giggled when Rodger ran infront of you to get to the new carts, lol you really lucked out with all that pottery, and your booth is looking great! “I love free garbage” do we love free garbage… yes we do!!!! Haha lol good finds lol oh and the smell test hahaha
Hello from Germany 🙂
What a great find! I bring in things outside the dumpster where I live. Most people throw out junk here though. You live in a more upscale area. Your Goodwill stores are much better than my local one. The handbags my Goodwill sells should have been thrown away years ago. I have found name brand clothing and some things new with tags.
