Good morning. I have a question. I know most items like these sell best at auction. But if your relativly new to ebay like I am and you put something up for auction it's probably not going to get alot of coverage. Am I correct in thinking this way? I watched one of your videos where you sold alot of crab brooches and other valuable glass, crystal and jewelry art and you said something to the effect that it helps to send out newsletters or notifications? I've only been reselling for a couple months and my sales are not bad butt I've had zero luck with anything I've tried at auction. I really want to understand how this market works and honestly you seem to be the best at these little niches and at very high, consistent profit margins. What is the best approach to auctioning items off and getting your items into a place of high visibility? I have not gotten a stone subscription yet but I do plan to in the near future.
@@GreenLion419 I put very very few items on auction. You need to see a history of that specific brand and item selling on auction well otherwise I recommend buy it now. I do 95% buy it now it is rare I do auctions and for new people I recommend doing mainly buy it now
Just to avoid confusion for people, "peint main" is not a place in France, it is a phrase that means hand-painted or painted completely by hand. You can find this phrase on many French pieces, not simply Limoges. It is just telling you that the piece is hand-painted.
I’ve noticed a lot of incorrect definition of terms, a lot of mispronunciation of names and other easily preventable errors in your videos that diminish your credibility. As a nurse you should have been trained to pay attention to detail and accuracy. That should also apply to your videos if you want to put yourself out there as a self-proclaimed “ expert.”
Hey Kat! I loved this video on trinket boxes. You made me so happy 😊 when talking about them. My father was a funeral director so about the casket...lol There is another definition for casket. A small chest or box (as for jewels). Who knew??? You are having a huge growth in your business ✨️ congratulations 🎊. You work your butt off. It shows! Then you share with everyone. You are a kind and generous woman. ❤️
I have to say this one blew my mind! I often walk past stunning trinket boxes of all types and have even seen a small number of these. It never occurred to me they would have this kind of value. Eyes open thank you so much
I bought a HUGE collection of Halcyon Days recently. I think I ended up with about 100 of them. While most of them fell closer to $100, several sold for much more. Trinket boxes...crazy.
I love trinket boxes! I don't have any expensive ones that I know but I have loved them since in my teens, I may need to start looking for them to resell since they make me so happy
Thanks for this, Kat! I scored a Staffordshire trinket box on Friday at a country flea market. It isn’t a really high dollar box, but I’ll take $75 for a $2 investment every day! 🎉
You absolutely can find Gucci at the thrift store! I found a vintage Gucci ashtray for a couple of bucks at Savers several years ago and flipped it for over $200, my favorite flip to this day. It sold in days.
@@TheNurseFlipper yes and you are a good teacher. I wondered the other day watching one of your vids, if you might have gone as far as instructor in your nursing career because you impressed me with your skill. A woman of many talents!
Hey everyone I don’t know but I am pretty certain that everyone appreciate all the knowledge that Cat shares with us so when her video gets interrupted for the ad that would be a good time to make sure you we ring her bell we should ring her bell every video we enjoy thank you Pat I am waiting for you to put all this knowledge into booklets maybe a booklet of trinket box it’s a booklet of brooches a booklet you could do a whole series for us and we would love you for itI’m sending a big thank you from Ohio and hello to that good little boy of yours XOXO😊
I didn't expect anything Tiffany & Co. to sell for three dollars, but these sales prices are still blowing my mind. Trinket boxes?! Wow. Super helpful video, thank you!
Hello. "Casket" You probably already have learned this by now but the reason that you often see the word casket in association with the trinket box is it is referring to the way that the Box opens. It opens like a casket. So often times people will include that word because that is the kind of opening and closure
Wish I could've watched this last week! Local on-line auction had a 9 piece lot of Keren Kopal trinket boxes (peacock, rooster, hens, pear, frog, beehive, bee, etc) that sold for $97! Had no clue, until I watched this that these were something to lookout for😣 Appreciate you taking the time to educate us💡
I love your videos.. one of the most helpful ebay videos on RUclips. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us who are new to ebay. Thanks a lot!
These are indeed impressive! I can see someone with a specific and extensive knowledge of this category could make a good living just dealing in this niche. Considering the could source the inventory. Definitely wouldn’t take a lot of room and minimal effort in shipping. 💚💚💚
I watched you great video about brooches and went to an estate sale yesterday and purchased a signed Benedict NY Maltese Cross Cabochon brooch. I paid 6$ for it! I have learned so much from you and am very greatful for all the information you have given me❤️
I just found your channel this morning and have already enjoyed and learned from your expertise as an online seller. My main collectible category is nativity sets and other items, such as framed embroidery or art, figurines, collector plates, snow globes -- anything with a nativity theme. Over 60 countries are represented in my Carola Nativity Collection. So I'd suggest nativities for one of your research vlogs.
@L. Carol Parson I have a large-sized nativity from my parents that is not in great shape but I've wondered whether it would be worth something to anyone. Is that something you might be able to advise me on?
Omg I love trinket boxes, as a reseller I mean. I pick them up every chance I get at garage sales. Have sold quite a few but apparently at too low prices 😔. Thanks for this video, now I'm armed with more knowledge and confidence for my net trinket box sale😜🙂🤗
Hi Cat! Amazing trinket boxes- love that you do these videos Kewpie is pronounced like this : “cue- pea” And pient main means hand painted in French Pronounce main like this - “Mann” not main as it would seem to be
Very much enjoyed your video about trinket boxes and values. I was absolutely stunned anyone would pay the prices they did for such a small item. Thank you for all the time and thought you put into each of your videos.
Wow, Harmony Kingdom for $175.... Score! - Love it ❤️ Supporting my fellow RUclipsr / Reseller by watching your vid. I enjoyed it and gave it a Thumbs up & will share it with others! 🙂
Me too and the fact that they don’t even take a picture of the bottom/makers marks! Here I am over here with my $10 item taking top, bottom and measurements 😂of course I will continue to do so
I just thought I'd share as I think we all learn from one another. One definition of Casket is a small ornamental box or chest for holding jewels, letters, or other valuable objects.
I'm kicking myself after seeing a porcupine trinket box just this past Saturday, April 9th, on a 2nd day (last day) of an Estate Sale at $7. I picked it up, looked it over, contemplated it (no cell signal) and set it back down. I try to purchase items with at least an 8x's the value sold so had my reservations on a minimum $56 sale. Thank you for teaching me - as I work and listen and glance up to see the items you have researched.
Oh my! I just picked up two Kirks Folly brooches at a garage sale today and then I listened to your vid! What a coincidence! I've never heard of it before!
I love your show because you explain so well. I wonder if you have ever seen little tainted box in pewter. They have earrings and necklace as part of the top. I really would like to know. Thank you.
Just to relieve you of the stress on the porcupine they do not kill the porcupines to use those quills they shoot them out themselves and you can pick them up off the ground😊 I have vintage porcupine quill earrings❤
Kat thank you for your great videos! I’m new to this and you have learned so much from you. Yesterday I purchased a signed Maltese cross cabochon brooch for 6$! Hendrik NY. I would have walked right by it if I hadn’t seen your videos on jewelry! Thank you, thank you, thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just checked the Ebay Vero list and Kirks Folly is not on the current list .I have a Kirks Folly brooch and earring set up on Ebay right now. I hope it is not Vero
You have the chillest boi I have ever seen. What a sweetie! I have to add my voice to the others: the generosity with which you share your knowledge is so wonderful. I watch Danni, the Niche Lady, and you, occasionally the Crazy Hat Lady. I love the perspective of 'There's plenty out there and here's what to look for!' I have already run across a pair of ceramic figurines I know I saw on one of y'all's posts-wish I could remember whose it was and when. I didn't buy it because I have no way to start a business like this, and nonroom at the inn to put them somewhere at this time, but boy am I enjoying the honing of my eye. I had one of those cartoon moments where my eyes bugged out bigtime. I felt like I was seeing a celebrity in the wild. :D I love vintage and antiques, especially art nouveau, arts & crafts & art deco. Always have. Learned more in 6 months watching you folks than in a lifetime (obsessed with art glass!). Thanking the Goddesses of RUclips for sharing wit, wisdom and a wealth of knowledge. You are a fantastic teacher, a good person, and SUCH a hard worker. Go you and THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOW HOW! It is such a joy. Blessings from an American living in British Columbia. The thrift stores here aren't bad but I would love to live in the States again!
My husband picks up gold and silver at yard sales. I can’t tell you how many Tiffany and Co pieces and James Avery pieces for less than a $1.00. He picked up a jewelry box full of costume jewelry for $1.00 and there was a very large man’s silver James Avery ring in it. Thinks like that happen all the time.
So interesting! I want to run not walk to the estate sales, antique stores etc. and look for these valuable finds. The Kirk's Folly I first saw in the early 2000's on QVC as a whimsical jewelry line. Who knew so many designers and so many themes? Thank you. ☘️
Even if I wasn't a reseller, this would be fascinating! It's just so interesting to me what people will pay the big bucks for. Like what is it with the bedazzled seafood?? I mean, I get it with the Disney trinket boxes, there's emotion attached to it, but lobsters and crabs??
I've sold a few old, elegant jewelry boxes I used the term casket for. That's an old fashioned term that was NOT a synonym for a normal jewelry box. A casket was usually large (cigar box size but deeper), at least fairly ornate, and expensive. I don't think the term was popular after the 1920s, but if it fits the piece, it's appropriate to use.
Kirks Folly has large following. They do jewlery, hair ornaments, eye glasses, chimes & more. They have their own website, sell on QVC, as well as in stores.
Hi, I thought you'd like to know how these are actually pronounced. (we're all learning from each other). Staffordshire is pronounced " Stafford + Sheer " in England. Thibault is pronounced " Tea + Bo "(not Bow, which is a long O. Just a short o.) Paint Main means Hand Painted and is pronounced without the "t" and "n" endings. They are silent. So just stop short right before the "t" and "n" and you've got it right. Bonbonniere you had correct the first time. It does indeed end in "air", so " bon-bonny-air". Guilloche is pronounced "Ghee + yush" ( to rhyme with hush and flush). Cloisonne is "Clwah + zonnay" (as opposed to "cloy"). Kewpie is "Cue + pee", not pie. You're too young to remember kewpie dolls. (Actually, they were before my time too.) (btw, the Pillini lady is playing a mandolin) The "plush box" the tiger trinket box referred to is correct with regards to the dictionary definition of plush as "adjective: richly luxurious and expensive". Now I have a question for you with regards to the three Siamese cat trinket boxes. (I've never even heard of the "See no evil/Hear no evil/Say no evil" done in anything but monkeys before, so that's a new one on me.) Since the numbers differ underneath (67/750, 127/750, 87/750), does this not mean that they are from different sets? In other words, bought separately as opposed to bought together as a complete set of the same number? And if so, does that not affect the price somewhat? I would think it would be less valuable than a true set. Do you know? Also, I'm a bit confused by this and thought you might be able to explain it to me. On a lot of the French trinket boxes, they write Paint Main (hand painted) in french, then follow it with Made in France (in English). This seems really peculiar to me. I would have thought the whole thing would be written in french if it's authentic. This switch in language sets my spider senses tingling. What are your thoughts? Looking forward to your answers with bated breath. Love your channel. New to it but subscribed right away
They were different numbers in the line each was done separetly it doesn't matter if they were bought together or not and no I don't think nit would affect the price. I think it sold regardless of having both and that's the main thing. I don't overthink things too much.

Ty for the clarification! I was already associating it with Limoges. Not that I expect to trip over one any time soon but you never know!
As I live in France I also can help with pronunciation. Peint main is pronounced more closely like Pan man with very little emphasis on the final “n”.
I’ve noticed a lot of incorrect definition of terms, a lot of mispronunciation of names and other easily preventable errors in your videos that diminish your credibility. As a nurse you should have been trained to pay attention to detail and accuracy. That should also apply to your videos if you want to put yourself out there as a self-proclaimed “ expert.”

47:19 Limoges Cats were mine!!! My biggest sale EVER! They went to France! Yay!!! I got them on my lunch hour at Goodwill. They were $2.99 each.

Maybe coasters, placemats, ashtrays? I know I just walk right by that stuff!
Coasters and placemats I feel are probably more bread and butter items don't think too many high dollar but ashtrays perhaps :D
Kirks Folly used to sell in UK on QVC or such like shopping channel many years ago probably 80s
Casket is another name for trinket box.

I learned so much and hope to find some trinket boxes. I will definitely start looking for them.

Your channel is awesome! 🤘😁 Thank you for sharing all this information.
You're welcome
So interesting! I want to run not walk to the estate sales, antique stores etc. and look for these valuable finds. The Kirk's Folly I first saw in the early 2000's on QVC as a whimsical jewelry line. Who knew so many designers and so many themes? Thank you. ☘️
Sounds great!
Even if I wasn't a reseller, this would be fascinating! It's just so interesting to me what people will pay the big bucks for. Like what is it with the bedazzled seafood?? I mean, I get it with the Disney trinket boxes, there's emotion attached to it, but lobsters and crabs??
LOL I don't know!
Love watching you l could watch you all day you just get on with it
Thank you 😊
I have two Kiek's Folly charm bracelets. I remember them from the 80s I think or maybe 90s.
Yeah people were saying they're sold from QVC I believe
I really appreciate you taking the time to pass on the research and knowledge!! XOXO thank you!!

👋Hi Dalton!.🤗🥰 Ty love the knowledge of tinket boxes..
You are so welcome
I've sold a few old, elegant jewelry boxes I used the term casket for. That's an old fashioned term that was NOT a synonym for a normal jewelry box. A casket was usually large (cigar box size but deeper), at least fairly ornate, and expensive. I don't think the term was popular after the 1920s, but if it fits the piece, it's appropriate to use.
Thanks for sharing! Good to know
Kirks Folly has large following. They do jewlery, hair ornaments, eye glasses, chimes & more. They have their own website, sell on QVC, as well as in stores.
Good to know1
Hi, I thought you'd like to know how these are actually pronounced. (we're all learning from each other). Staffordshire is pronounced " Stafford + Sheer " in England.
Thibault is pronounced " Tea + Bo "(not Bow, which is a long O. Just a short o.) Paint Main means Hand Painted and is pronounced without the "t" and "n" endings. They are silent.
So just stop short right before the "t" and "n" and you've got it right. Bonbonniere you had correct the first time. It does indeed end in "air", so " bon-bonny-air". Guilloche is pronounced "Ghee + yush" ( to rhyme with hush and flush). Cloisonne is "Clwah + zonnay" (as opposed to "cloy"). Kewpie is "Cue + pee", not pie. You're too young to remember kewpie dolls. (Actually, they were before my time too.)
(btw, the Pillini lady is playing a mandolin) The "plush box" the tiger trinket box referred to is correct with regards to the dictionary definition of plush as "adjective: richly luxurious and expensive".
Now I have a question for you with regards to the three Siamese cat trinket boxes. (I've never even heard of the "See no evil/Hear no evil/Say no evil" done in anything but monkeys before, so that's a new one on me.) Since the numbers differ underneath (67/750, 127/750, 87/750), does this not mean that they are from different sets? In other words, bought separately as opposed to bought together as a complete set of the same number? And if so, does that not affect the price somewhat? I would think it would be less valuable than a true set. Do you know?
Also, I'm a bit confused by this and thought you might be able to explain it to me. On a lot of the French trinket boxes, they write Paint Main (hand painted) in french, then follow it with Made in France (in English). This seems really peculiar to me. I would have thought the whole thing would be written in french if it's authentic. This switch in language sets my spider senses tingling.
What are your thoughts? Looking forward to your answers with bated breath. Love your channel. New to it but subscribed right away
They were different numbers in the line each was done separetly it doesn't matter if they were bought together or not and no I don't think nit would affect the price. I think it sold regardless of having both and that's the main thing. I don't overthink things too much.
