    hi karen, the four golden candleholders made in germany are for an „adventskranz“. we have these here in germany and you have a wreath of fir tree, decorate it as you like and put four candles in it and light a candle on the four sundays before christmas. sunday after sunday a new one together with the others. 🙋‍♀️

    The sooner Goodwill‘s understand that they have a symbiotic relationship with resellers, the better for both parties. You cannot ask eBay prices and expect that one person who’s a size 10 and wants that exact jacket to walk into your exact location. That’s where resellers come in. We go in purchase it at a good price and then resell it because our reach so broad. Otherwise, Goodwill is going to wind up through most of that in the landfill. What a tragedy.

      It's not just resellers either. I shopped thrift stores to save money. I can't afford a lot of things because the prices have gone up so much. I use to get all my furniture ,clothes and household things and walk out with a full cart. Now I can only get a few things.

    • @TheAntiqBoutiq
      @TheAntiqBoutiq Год назад +1

      Absolutely! Additionally, my Goodwill does nothing to clean or condition the items and expects eBay pricing. Not going to happen. I will say they are using Hammoq to list online to overcome the issue you mention, and Hammoq uses AI which isn’t always correct. They are trying to squeeze us out for sure.

    Just now watching this. After having seen that punchbowl, I thought, "Darnit, there has GOT to be something that can be done to repurpose all of these beautiful old glass/crystal punchbowls out in the world so I Googled it. Found the CUTEST idea ever! People getting old tall-ish vases, turning them upside down and then setting the punchbowl upside down on top of it. They do several in an area. Looks like a garden of glass mushrooms. Cute Cute!!

    Line punch bowl with any kind of pretty vegetation in your yard like palms or even hedge trimmings. The put a clear plastic or glass bowl inside your punch bowl filled with ice then set your salad bowl on top of ice and suddenly that large punch bowl doesn’t seem so large and your salad stays nice and chilled in a pretty glass punchbowl. When ice starts to melt easy to refill.

    One thing that’s happened with Goodwill is so many people who have excess money now shop there. They drive prices up because they’re so willing to pay stupid prices. Goodwill is no longer for people who *need* to be thrifty. I try not to resent them for their money but they really have ruined it for regular lower-income people.

If I was going to pay that high price then I would put a few dollars with it and buy it new. It is sad because the things are donated, the majority! Roger is definitely a sweetheart! So glad y’all found each other! Cannot wait to know how the bowls work out as well other items!!

      Score! Karen great picks. I live in AZ where it's been 118° many days, 110° and over for over 3 weeks. But, I went yard selling, yep we are crazy fools here. Tell Roger at pravite warehouse selling a senior's items, there was about 2 dozen unopened milatery model airplanes. Origional prices $2.99 to $4.99. so they were old. They had them at $10 each or 5 for $40. I looked them up and they were selling for $35+. I wish I'd had the extra $$ to get them.

    Goodwill here will charge more than the retail price. No color days, no veterans discount. Senior day only on Tuesday.

I showed her exactly what they were charging for the items…needless to say we aren’t that close anymore.

    Our local thrift store does the same thing, they have employees look up items on eBay! I find it very unfair since eBay sellers pay a price and a commission when they sell and thrift stores get them for free and are a 501 or whatever meaning they don’t pay taxes.

    Goodwill shouldn't be charging prices that they see online, they have forgotten their mission. Moreover, until they process, clean, and measure items and merchandise their stores better, they shouldn't be charging the same price as resellers.

    • @jillgott6567
      @jillgott6567 Год назад

      I am a small time reseller. I do not feel Goodwill or others need to price their items so I can make a profit. It is up to me to source items that have a good mark up or I can take a lower profit if I so choose. Or, just not buy the items in question.

    • @mandy833
      @mandy833 Год назад +4

      @@jillgott6567 I am also a part-time reseller. My issue with Goodwill's pricing extends far beyond how it impacts resellers. It is too expensive for the people that need to shop secondhand, and more importantly, less than 25% of the profit at Goodwill, for example, actually goes to charity. You can research the exact statistics online. Salvation Army is another thrift store with a darker side. When you shop in that store, they often have a recording telling customers that proceeds from purchases do not go to charity. I opt to spend money at smaller local thrift stores so that I can reinvest in the community and so I can actually see what impact the donations and my purchasing have on my community.

    I am glad you did well with the Royal Bank of Canada hats. I wondered if they would in the USA. Out of curiosity, did they come back to Canada? My husband was an investment banker before he retired, and a hat like that at a corporate event would have been great. Banks have a lot of fundraising activities for charities they support, in the summer. I don't know if banks in the USA do that kind of thing.
    The candle train might be kinda cute on a mantel as Christmas time. Someone is going to like it.

    Karen, you've never explained why you don't like to pick up Bells. I think they're lovely and very collectible because they're small and often neatly decorated and can be put on a small shelf in the corner of the living room. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I do tend to lean toward victorianna. Also I believe that a bell could be quite useful if one is ill, particularly if there are stairs to climb. Can you tell I'm speaking from my own experience! Well I don't collect Bells but I might start I have one beautiful Crystal bill that was my mother's I collect tea for one cups and pots. You don't see many of those in Goodwill. They're so pretty I got a friend interested in them as well. It's amazing how things catch on. I believe if you sold Bells people would start buying them. It's better than screaming across the house but more importantly it's a lovely display!
