I absolutely LOVE your videos! I love how close you are with your daughters, I wish I had that kind of relationship with my mom. I wish you lots of continued success!
You, Lisa and Mellissa have such good relationships! Lisa’s laugh reminds me of Mellissa. I know you are so proud of your family. Good tutorial on hiring help to photograph and list - or to do other parts of your business that bog you down. Your ship needlework is crewel, it could very likely would sell. The aqua painting you could sell on Etsy as a base for ‘altered art’. Someone could buy it as a base to create fun, funky art. Price it inexpensively and it will sell.
Lisa and Melissa’s laughs are very similar! You make beautiful children! Loved watching this video while I listed some things myself. You inspire me to list more! Especially my death piles!
Y’all are adorable!! I love LOVE your videos and to watch you interact with your daughters. Lots of great info in everyone that I’ve watched. I will be 60 on Friday and looking forward to retirement from my full time job at 65. From past experience I know one has to be extremely disciplined to make eBay lucrative. It’s been 9 years since I’ve listed on eBay or Etsy and now there are so many other selling platforms to delve into. Since I continue buying items for my near future #sidehustle, I definitely have death piles. The majority of mine are vintage hard goods and smalls. Thank you for your time and videos Karen! Rock on! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
5:06 Such a supportive family! Your daughters are gorgeous! Just started watching your videos a month ago and this is me going all the way back to see your first videos, getting to know your journey, and seeing your fabulous family ❤ I love it!🥰
Hey! I have an antiques booth and quirky artwork is what sells best for me! I like the moody blue boy, and I appreciate the dedication and time that went into the needlework clipper ship. I believe the same reason that you picked-up the creepy ash tray (and yes, I knew what it was...and yes I said creepy, but I most definitely would have picked him up too) is the same as why you picked up the two art pieces. STICK with your instincts!!! Put them in your new and upcoming booth!!! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!!!
I'm excited to see how your furniture business goes! My sweetheart & I flip furniture, too. It's fun, but the hot summers in Phoenix slow us down. The huge profit margins are worth it though. I love that you & your daughters have the same laugh! Love your entrepreneurial spirit!! I hope I can teach my kiddos to be their own bosses, too! 💖💖💖
Your daughter is adorable. I have two daughters and we are very close too. So glad you are so close to your kids. That’s so important. Love your videos. So informative. You do a very good job presenting info. Thanks.
Great video Karen,I really enjoyed it. Love the what not to buy! I have bought things,got home and wondered why on earth would I buy this! Glad I am not the only one! Nice to meet your other daughter, she is a beautiful young lady!
OMG, the two of you are adorable together! You are blessed with beautiful daughters. I bought a coated canvas sakroots wallet from freshbloominclothing and love it. So unique. 😉
I do the same for my weights with clothes when drafting items. Round up to next ounce plus 3 ounces. Always keeps you in the good with shipping. Hard goods are trickier, I agree. At least 6-8 ounces for packing materials. Awesome video. Great content. Thank you! 💜
It's great that mom and daughter have such a fine relationship! I was one of those lucky offspring to have a fine relationship with my late parents...I'm an only "child"...and "spoiled"!!
I always love your videos. Thanks for sharing your years of experience. I used to sell a little on ebay and watching your videos make me want to start selling again. I always thrift but don't need a thing so selling would give me a good reason to get to go!
Hi Karen! I was wondering about weekly goals, if you have time to answer or point me to which video I may have missed the info. If you don’t mind sharing 🙂 1. How many days per week you source. 2. How many items you like to get listed per week. Also would be fun to talk about daily routine Always excited to see your new uploads! Thank for sharing!
Hi. She made a video that talks about her daily routine. It's great! Video: Talk Time Answering your questions, episode 21. ruclips.net/video/vdZdVc8wsTo/видео.html
I am hooked on your videos, and your hints and you are great to listen to and also watch. I sat down tonight to see what I was going to look at...and first thing I see after your beautiful daughter, is a SANTA that I have, exactly like the one you have mine was made at a pottery group by my Mom in 1979. I have seen another one , same exact mold, dated 1985.
I love all your videos, thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom and kindness. You did teach me a new word today that I had to look up of course. And that word was Schmutz. It’s from Yiddish orgin Which of course I then had to look up Yiddish LOL and it means grime, filth, dirt... Which I’m sure you already knew. Anyway thanks for sharing. Your daughter is beautiful by the way!! 🥰😉
OMG, I just love watching your videos, Karen! You and both of your daughters are beautiful, sweet, and so funny. The story about your baking venture was funny and interesting (and amazing looking baked goods, too)! Thank you for always sharing your tips and tricks along the way, not just showing us your hauls, but telling us WHY you purchased, plus how much you hope to get out of an item. So many tips in each video and lots of inspiration and ideas of what to pick-up to resell.
The tall ship and the moody depressed boy... too funny! Did they ever sell? You have such a great relationship with your daughters and you must have so much fun together. I love to bake too and always thought it would be fun to have a bakery or be a pastry chef. But I think sometimes it's better just to leave it for fun. You two could always add in some baking videos to your youtube channel. Those would be fun. Just so you know, Jolly Ranchers melt in the microwave and can be used for candy window panes. Then you can get battery operated lights and put inside so it lights up your gingerbread house and it looks so quaint.
What a nice thing that your daughter helps! She is stunning! I just love you and everything you do, you're so inspiring, I'd love to give up my boring job, sitting wasting away behind a computer, being scorned by a jerk daily... I see how hard you work, but I see how much fun it can be when you sell a high profit item
I'm happy I discovered your channel. You are a delight. It was lovely meeting two of your daughters through your videos. They take after their beautiful mom.
This was so good!! Loved it Karen and I really enjoyed learning more about Lisa's role in the business. You both do a great job and it's so nice you're enjoying it together!
You two are so cute. To all the people having trouble with black items, I recommend the app “PicTapGo” with the filter Lights On and you can also up the contrast. Amazing how you can see the detail and still keep the black. Highly recommend
Actually, you might be pleasantly surprised to hear that some vintage completed, framed needlework pieces can sell quite well. There's one on Ebay that looks like the ship you have under the title "vintage framed art needlework old time sailing ship" listed for $50. Of course it's a current listing and hasn't sold yet but who knows all may not be lost. Some vintage stitchery kits, new in package, are also highly collectible depending on the kit.
Lisa is really beautiful. She has a lot going for her! Busy busy busy. You two are so fortunate to live so near each other. I wish my mom and I were closer but we had absolutely nothing in common. All she was interested in was her horses. :-( The picture of that boy cracked me up!
I love the ship picture. I grew up on the coast of Florida where Spanish gold is still found. I always dreamed of being a pirate way back then, sailing in ships, having freedom. Lol, not sure how I would have handled it as a woman, but it was a dream. Anyways, I love goodies like that.
on the clipper ship/tall ship - my mother made those with needle point and my father painted them so they could be very nostalgic for some and a lot of hard work goes into those, the green was probably due to the kit directions and the deep ocean sure is green to the eye - coming from Massachusetts (we used to watch the tall ships come into the harbor each year) !! I have my fathers paintings and my mothers needle points -- did you end up selling the ship?
New sub. Love your channel...wish you had a cute little dog to add to the charm! I actually think the yarn ship would be nice in a sea side cabin. Could it be listed as folk art? Also you could always turn the ugly boy into an abstract painting or paint it solid and attach things to display such as dollies or something 3-D. Always a way to turn trash to cash!!! Thanks for such a nice informative video from you two beautiful ladies.
I'm a seller but also take pics and enter into spreadsheets for another bigger Ebay seller. She pays me $1 per item (6 pics per) and $1 for each line entered into the spreadsheet. We both work full time. She has a VA and he uses the spreadsheet to create the listings. I average $15-20 per hour
The ship is probably crewel. It will sell. The hipsters doing mid century rooms will jump on that! lol List it. Mid Century Crewel Stitched Needlepoint Ship Nautical etc. Good luck!
Also, paying by piece work (one criterion) is considered contract labor, so you do not have to take out taxes or get an EIN number. I will NEVER hire anyone but family again. I owned a brick and mortar store, and several of my employees just about stole me blind. One designer I had known for 40 years (since school). I was in denial about it at first, because it really hurt, then I became VERY ANGRY. Love your vids and energy.
I've been trying to teach my kids how to do the photos so I can pay them to help me out some, they are still young but it would help us both out. thanks for sharing.
Karen, info.. prewar China is very light weight and highly collected as iron stone. Became fully in telling light weight China is not of value... you might be surprised at just how valued but hard to find this is. Primarily alot was destroyed between the 20s and 40s. I learned this from my grandmother being of German polish decent.
HUGE respect from Michigan :D In my dead pile, I have a gorgeous semi-formal dress. I have no idea how to pack it for shipping! For this reason, I have failed to list it. It is certainly good money just sitting here. I so appreciate it when you and Mellissa share how you ship things. :D
I would love to have the needlework ship. If you would let me know the price and including shipping. I would love to have this because I collect needlepoint of any type
I just found your channel and I am loving it !! I am an Ebay seller too, but I know I could not do it without my husband ( he is the shipping department;). Thank You for great advice.
Just found your channel few days ago and been watching like crazy. You have very lovely daughters, it is awesome that you have a great relationship with them. My daughter works with me also, it is so much better that hiring someone else. Love your videos, i am just starting to sell on Ebay. Actually I went twice to Goodwill and all my stuff is still on my dunning room table,lol. I work full time and now i have a hurricane to worry about. So i am looking for motivation! lol
Def could be sisters. Mom you are lovely! And of course your daughter is beautiful. I didnt have daughters just boys. GOOD LOOKING BOYS. I always wondered what having a daughter would have been like even tho i was sincerely blessed with my boys (all grown in middle late 20s). I bet its so much fun to do girl stuff. Sigh. Anyways god bless and love this channel.
Lederhosen = Oktoberfest, Bavaria, German, & traditional🍻 Loved watching you two as I folded laundry😊 Had to edit to add that if you come out w/your tagline merch, I'd be a happy gal!
I absolutely LOVE your videos! I love how close you are with your daughters, I wish I had that kind of relationship with my mom. I wish you lots of continued success!
Your daughter is beautiful. 💕So nice to see your wonderful relationship, with each other.💕 so enjoyed your stories about baking, so sweet.

I'm excited to see how your furniture business goes! My sweetheart & I flip furniture, too. It's fun, but the hot summers in Phoenix slow us down. The huge profit margins are worth it though. I love that you & your daughters have the same laugh! Love your entrepreneurial spirit!! I hope I can teach my kiddos to be their own bosses, too! 💖💖💖
It’s fun watching you and your daughters. (Melissa) and now with Lisa. 👍😊 and as always, thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🌼
Great video. Lisa is beautiful and I love the relationship you two have!
The black pants pile! Haha! I detest black pants but they were Misook and St. John. Ugh! 😂
GREAT reason to sell a few pairs of black pants! ;-)
Your daughter is adorable. I have two daughters and we are very close too. So glad you are so close to your kids. That’s so important. Love your videos. So informative. You do a very good job presenting info. Thanks.

Another awesome video...Lisa and Mellissa have the same lovely, genuine laugh (in my humble opinion). Can't get enough of either of your channels.
What a treat meeting Lisa! Thanks for sharing your family with us 😊
It's great that mom and daughter have such a fine relationship! I was one of those lucky offspring to have a fine relationship with my late parents...I'm an only "child"...and "spoiled"!!
I always love your videos. Thanks for sharing your years of experience. I used to sell a little on ebay and watching your videos make me want to start selling again. I always thrift but don't need a thing so selling would give me a good reason to get to go!
Watching this was so fun and encouraging. It's so cool to meet Lisa too. You guys and Mellissa are precious.
Hi Karen! I was wondering about weekly goals, if you have time to answer or point me to which video I may have missed the info. If you don’t mind sharing 🙂
1. How many days per week you source.
2. How many items you like to get listed per week.
Also would be fun to talk about daily routine
Always excited to see your new uploads! Thank for sharing!
Hi. She made a video that talks about her daily routine. It's great!

I have seen another one , same exact mold, dated 1985.
I immediately saw the resemblance between Lisa and Mellissa not only physically but their laugh and inflections are so much alike! Lovely family!
I love all your videos, thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom and kindness. You did teach me a new word today that I had to look up of course. And that word was Schmutz.

Sakroots bags are usually what’s called coated canvas, I have a few of them, I love them!
Love seeing you together!! You make a great team.
You are all so beautiful - you're a family of models!!!!
What a nice thing that your daughter helps! She is stunning! I just love you and everything you do, you're so inspiring, I'd love to give up my boring job, sitting wasting away behind a computer, being scorned by a jerk daily...

I'm happy I discovered your channel. You are a delight. It was lovely meeting two of your daughters through your videos. They take after their beautiful mom.
Loved seeing Mother and Daughter enjoying and laughing together! Your daughter is beautiful!
Wait I love the crewel ship picture! I collect crewel pieces...take it out of the frame and sell it to me :)
I liked it too😉
Love love your videos! Get super excited when I see a new one pop up! 💖
Yes its Rudolph the red nose reindeer! Love your channel and Melissa's
Great to see you back and nice to meet another daughter!
You have such beautiful children, and they have such a beautiful mom🤗❤️
This was so good!! Loved it Karen and I really enjoyed learning more about Lisa's role in the business. You both do a great job and it's so nice you're enjoying it together!

The shirt that you're wearing right now the top goes with the skirt exactly that you are going to show at the end they go together perfectly
LOVE watching you guys keep on rockin lady's 😁 me and my granddaughter were watching y'all
Ashtray unique! I guessed correctly. Another beautiful daughter! Good show ladies!
The chine piece is a dresser box for jewelry etc.
If Lisa wants to throw in some landscaping tips, I'm all ears! I just bought a new house and I could use some ideas:)
Edna gave Joe a creepy face ashtray🤣 love your commentary !
Another enjoyable video - really appreciate the dynamics with your daughters. Lisa, you did great!
I disagree, you’ve got it too, Lisa!! 😁
How neat that you two are together💕👍🏻

i love the mistakes, she is adorbale just like you omg you have such a great family thanks for all you do and show us such hard workers!!
Love hearing about your business adventures with your girls!
I LOVE both art pieces!!!
Lisa is really beautiful. She has a lot going for her! Busy busy busy. You two are so fortunate to live so near each other. I wish my mom and I were closer but we had absolutely nothing in common. All she was interested in was her horses. :-( The picture of that boy cracked me up!
Another informative, entertaining video and another beautiful daughter.
Gorgeous baking, I’m craving something yummy now!
I love the ship picture. I grew up on the coast of Florida where Spanish gold is still found. I always dreamed of being a pirate way back then, sailing in ships, having freedom. Lol, not sure how I would have handled it as a woman, but it was a dream. Anyways, I love goodies like that.
There is another catch Phrase T-SHIRT Idea for your channel. "It's All Craziness"
That white cold shoulder blouse looks just like your style🤗❤️
The ship was a kit. I actually made that for my dad back in the day. Lol
on the clipper ship/tall ship - my mother made those with needle point and my father painted them so they could be very nostalgic for some and a lot of hard work goes into those, the green was probably due to the kit directions and the deep ocean sure is green to the eye - coming from Massachusetts (we used to watch the tall ships come into the harbor each year) !!

So awesome to see Lisa in this video

Thanks for such a nice informative video from you two beautiful ladies.
Lovely! Enjoyed this very much!
I sell a lot of vintage crewel, crosstitch and needlepoint finished pieces and kits...they are great sellers.
I'm a seller but also take pics and enter into spreadsheets for another bigger Ebay seller. She pays me $1 per item (6 pics per) and $1 for each line entered into the spreadsheet. We both work full time. She has a VA and he uses the spreadsheet to create the listings. I average $15-20 per hour
God ! Proud mum , she is gorgeous!
You may be surprised how much interest you have in the boat picture...:)
I enjoy your videos and appreciate what I’ve learned from watching them.
That ship will sell to needle craft collectors. I like it!
The ship is probably crewel. It will sell. The hipsters doing mid century rooms will jump on that! lol List it. Mid Century Crewel Stitched Needlepoint Ship Nautical etc. Good luck!
That one is on Etsy now for $141 (overpriced). They used the term "Clipper Ship".
Also, paying by piece work (one criterion) is considered contract labor, so you do not have to take out taxes or get an EIN number. I will NEVER hire anyone but family again.

Very long, but informative video. Thanks, I learned a lot.
Love this video , great tips. Lisa is such a doll ! Thank you for sharing. Barbara
Lisa has the same laugh as Melisa! Adorable! 🌸
Your Doughter is so pleasant and pretty god bless both of you mom you are doing excellent
Thanks for all of the ideas and information. You and your daughters are beautiful!
Thank you for the helpful video and the inspiration.
