I would think the manager would gladly honor your request, you are an extremely loyal customer and buy cart loads of items consistently. Very short sighted on the manager’s part. I’m thinking the cost of similar buttons and the time to sew them on would have given this beautiful jacket new life. Like you said You can’t Save Everything. Great finds as always! Love your videos! ❤❤
@@sharonjett449 Me too I had a job for asap! Oh well she made the decision that was best for her though. Probably not shippable anyway 🙁 "butt" it was a pretty epic basket. 🤣😊 Looks like I spoke too soon she did buy it but not shippable boo boo!
If Goodwill's mission truly is to help the community, I've often thought it would be better to have lower prices to (1) move things out to allow more sold inventory (cha-ching$$$), (2) reduce piles in landfills, and (3) consider the customer service rather than digging their heels in and demanding higher prices! Kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face, Goodwill. But Karen - you're the best and I always enjoy looking forward to and watching your adventures in Goodwill regardless. Blessings!
Holes or no holes, I'm glad you took that basket home. There's no way I'd sell it. There are so many places that basket could go. It's a work of art. If I didn't do anything but sit it in a corner I'd take it home. The laundry basket is wonderful. The blue and white is an oriental footbath but it isn't flow blue. $19.99 is a steal. I have that same footbath. It's not valuable but it's very pretty for those of us who love blue and white pottery. "Be Still" is from the Scriptures: "Be still and know that I am God..."
Not only would I grab that basket, but I would keep it. Line the bottom with an old burlap sack, quilted piece or wool blanket, & the possibilities are endless! Plants,yarn, books, vintage toys,… On the porch at xmas with tiny lights, greenery, red winter berries & cones… On & On
Roger is quite the comidian! I got a good chuckle about making the popcorn in the bed warmer and LED toilet paper holder!😅. On the velvet coat you would have gotten your 15% off. Regarding the big basket you bought.... put it on your back patio and fill it with artificial greenery, that was you don't have to fuss with potting soil and watering. There are very pretty and real looking flowers and greenery at the craft stores.
Ok, I have not finished the video but I a commenting on 2 things: the basket should have been a yes, the Chico’s jacket: the manager should have given you a discount, that is ridiculous! Buttons are expensive these days!
Long pole bed warmers are a real (and common) thing. The upstairs maid, in the big house, had to be able to reach to the center of the bed, in the Master's Bedroom. 🙂
That basket would be beautiful in a bathroom with towels rolled in it. Those little holes are inconsequential and do not take away from its beauty. Hope you got it!
Hi Karen. Glad you saved the basket! It deserves better than a landfill. I'm not particularly 'into' baskets but that's a piece of art. Bedwarmers usually did have long handles. Frequently beds were pushed up against the wall due to small rooms. That necessitated long handled for the reach. And in some eras, beds were built high which also made the reach a challenge. Very practical. I know...nerd alert.🤓🤗
I'd buy the velvety Chico's jacket, bc to me replacing buttons is an easy fix. Love the hitched card display, Karen! It is so sweet. Re: the basket, I sold a large basket on FBMP and shipped it across country. It arrived just fine as well. Love the jardiniere too.
Great finds. Loved the owl wall hanging, Victoria stoneware and basket. That basket is true vintage and quality. My late uncle was blind and he was the best basket weaver artisan/artist. We still have trays, baskets, prams and other items he made. Fond memories indeed. Greetings from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦.
The thing about goodwill is they have become so greedy. The prices are insane for all the DONATED items they receive. I can tell you that jacket will sit in the store until they have to pitch it to the bins. why not take a few bucks for it and make room for something new.
I had to jump down to comments to see if u bought the basket! Just remember, if you super love it, the rarity of it and signed, the small imperfections usually don't matter. I found the first goodwill to be high!
Hi Karen. The flow blue foot bath that you found could be a reproduction. About 25 years ago one of our local charity shops bought in a quantity of these to sell along with other flow blue items. They were made abroad somewhere and had a very similar stamp. They were brand new at the time. The clue to me was the pale blue background. Usually old ceramics have a white background with a few exceptions. There are now so many 'fakes' in antique ceramics.
Unfortunately, I don’t shop in Goodwill or donate to them any longer for years and years. I’m huge for Salvation Army Here in Florida Goodwill prices are like shopping at Nordstrom.
I just found your channel and I’m really enjoying it. Those two stirrups as you called them are actually spurs and they are not cheap. Hopefully you got them and can resell them because $10 is a great deal for those!
In Houston, Goodwill wants to charge 14.99 for a pair of heels where the inside is peeling. But then they don't recognize Italian shoes and price those much lower. 🤔
I'm liking it too!!! Upbeat!! N showing the prices quickly ...is cool. I used to love our SAVE8R Store, it was making great money I think not sure why it was closed, it was Big n always had great' things❗❗❗The basket likely would sell quickly wouldnt it? SOMETIMES THE LABELS of dresses are inside on the skirt part.
I’ve pointed out damage to an item at the other thrift store (Salvation Army) and they agreed and gave me 50% off which I really appreciated! I think you experienced really poor customer service from Goodwill’s manager. It will probably wind up at the outlet and hopefully not the landfill.
Goodwill employees always have the authority to change a price. When they say they can't, they're lying. I know this from experience and Goodwill employees. It's rude that she wouldn't lower the price for you.😠
That was a cute Precious Moments tray, I have a neighbor who is a Precious Moments hoarder, literally thousands of them in boxes, basement,attic, every closet,she has a house she doesn't live in,but her Precious Moments figurines have taken over.
Omg that dress barn jacket that would of been hard and that beige green anthropologist shirt would look good on you!! I think if you did another channel on dressing to the nines (rich) with thrift clothes and find a whole outsider for less than $10 You don’t go threw every shirt/top maybe cause you have been doing it so long the high quality jumps out
What a haul Great finds. This video and your last video have convinced me that I will be taking a trip to PA to thrift. The shopping there is wonderful.
A couple years ago actually during Covid I was obsessed with the sheer look. I bought so many sheer tops, and I have a show or a Cami to go under every one of them that I bought. I have cream I have white I have black I have blue I have white. Do not hesitate when it comes to sheer people who wear that kind of stuff are already going to have something to wear under it. But that’s just me.
I like to wear “slips” under dresses, or half slips for blouses…all different colors, silk, and so on, for see-through clothing, works well for beautiful clothes, or even a beautiful bra. Modern, todays style.
Thank you for sharing some of your secret Brands that do well. I learn so much from you channel. I too loved that dangly Cat and had to laugh because just yesterday I was at Goodwill saying the same thing... Come on Goodwill! When something had a ridiculous price. Lol!!
So true. My friends were saying that Goodwill isn't great for some reason because they steal money from people, but I am not sure. I notice they always ask to round up couple cents I notice.
That basket is gorgeous. And, I'm not really a basket lover. But, for me, those Tiffany demitasse sets are IT!!! What a find! All of your finds in this video are great.
i have unfortunately found the "Victoria" ware in Maxx's - I was fooled as well, but then found it was recently made - perhaps in China. Enjoy watching your channel. Wish we in Ohio had your thrifts. I have heard that our Goodwills siphon "the good stuff" off for a new channel which sells "the good stuff - rather spoils the thrill of the "find." Congratulation to You and Roger!!!! Thanks for your channel - Beth
Omg I was so excited for myself when I found a labradorite heart about 2 inches wide the other day! Then I see you find six sets of Tiffany cups and saucers 😂

That basket could hold anything from kindling to toilet paper, guest towels. The planter is incredible!!! I would buy it in a hot second! Good haul!
I would love to buy this basket! Would you consider shipping. I collect “buttocks” baskets.
@@sharonjett449 Buttocks? Looked like something else to me. 🤣
@@sharonjett449 Me too I had a job for asap! Oh well she made the decision that was best for her though.
Probably not shippable anyway 🙁 "butt" it was a pretty epic basket. 🤣😊
Looks like I spoke too soon she did buy it but not shippable boo boo!
I do believe that the manager of whatever goodwill should be able to discount things.
I think so too.
Definitely think managers should be able to offer discounts on items that requires fixing!!
Absolutely. So much goes into the landfill. They should just get rid of it 🙄.
There is a Goodwill I go to and the cashier just make up a price even if it's priced. Some of them think those items are overpriced.
If Goodwill's mission truly is to help the community, I've often thought it would be better to have lower prices to (1) move things out to allow more sold inventory (cha-ching$$$), (2) reduce piles in landfills, and (3) consider the customer service rather than digging their heels in and demanding higher prices!

Yay, I see that you did buy it by the comments good for you
My husband and I think managers should lower prices if the piece is damaged!!! PS: you totally Rock!!!!
The basket had such charming characteristics, holes only help tell it's story, I'd buy in a heartbeat! Amazing pieces!
Ok. I’m officially addicted to this channel.
Me too!!
I know...me too! It's my favorite!
Count ME in, too! ❤
Welcome to the club 😂❤
Yep, Love her organizational skills and unique finds, and big profit items....and new addition etc. Watch every Wednesday and Sunday.
💕💕💕💕💕Those are spurs not stirrups. They go on your boots when riding.
Not only would I grab that basket, but I would keep it.
Line the bottom with an old burlap sack, quilted piece or wool blanket, & the possibilities are endless! Plants,yarn, books, vintage toys,…
On the porch at xmas with tiny lights, greenery, red winter berries & cones… On & On
Went to the comments while still watching the video and saw you bought the basket! I was so glad as I was thinking HOW CAN YOU NOT GET THAT! ❤
The basket is everything!!!
The pink and black dress barn shirt was so cute
Sell it as is ,that basket is a art piece.
I am jealous of her Goodwill. Ours are lousy here where I live. I may need to venture out further.
Great basket and since you love it put it in your closet for your scarves or flipflops😅
GW's pricing has no rhyme or reason! So many things priced crazy and they would rather throw it away than price it to sell.
Roger is quite the comidian! I got a good chuckle about making the popcorn in the bed warmer and LED toilet paper holder!😅. On the velvet coat you would have gotten your 15% off.

Love Roger's popcorn bedwarmer 😂
I enjoy your commentary! And your voice is soothing 😊
I’m with Roger and his popcorn scheme! If R gets you the TP color changing holder, you should get him the shower beer holder.
😂😂😂😂 I don’t think Roger drinks that much! He seems to be slim and fit!
@@payattention31 I’m sure you’re correct, but a shower beer holder falls under ridiculous bathroom accessories.
I would keep the basket for yourself. It would look cute in your new bathroom with towels or in your new bedroom with a pretty throw in it.
Hi Karen, the Stirrups are actually Spurs. Stirrups are part of the saddle that you put your foot into.
Thank you so much for showing yourself going through items and explaining why you did or didn’t pick them up. So very helpful!!!
That basket would be beautiful in a bathroom with towels rolled in it. Those little holes are inconsequential and do not take away from its beauty. Hope you got it!
I love how you preserved all the beautiful cards under the glass on the table! They carry beautiful energy ❤❤❤
Hi Karen. Glad you saved the basket! It deserves better than a landfill. I'm not particularly 'into' baskets but that's a piece of art.
Bedwarmers usually did have long handles. Frequently beds were pushed up against the wall due to small rooms. That necessitated long handled for the reach. And in some eras, beds were built high which also made the reach a challenge. Very practical. I know...nerd alert.🤓🤗
Some beautiful ferns in that basket on your back patio Karen would look amazing.
Absolutely - they should always consider discounting - look at how they’ve grown over the last 10/20 years
I'd buy the velvety Chico's jacket, bc to me replacing buttons is an easy fix. Love the hitched card display, Karen! It is so sweet. Re: the basket, I sold a large basket on FBMP and shipped it across country. It arrived just fine as well. Love the jardiniere too.
Yes, they should come down on their prices.

I'm addicted too it motivates me informs and inspires me to keep thrifting yes its genuine and they r valued good job
Roger, is starting to come around. Not as shy.
HI, If you can't find a tag on a piece of clothes, I would check on the side seam towards the bottom. Just a thought! Love your channel.
I love the blue & white piece! I collect blue & white. If I lived much, much closer I’d claim it. Thanks for the very interesting video!
I would buy it and change the buttons.
Beautiful wedding project! ❤
I had to jump down to comments to see if u bought the basket! Just remember, if you super love it, the rarity of it and signed, the small imperfections usually don't matter.
I found the first goodwill to be high!
The caftans remind me of Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company, I love them! ❤
Shoulda bought the basket! Many basket lovers would love as is!
Hi Karen. The flow blue foot bath that you found could be a reproduction. About 25 years ago one of our local charity shops bought in a quantity of these to sell along with other flow blue items.

I was surprised she didn't know that was a reproduction!
Sooo gl🎉d you kept the basket!
Happy you got the basket!, so many possibilities ❤
Yes. The manager should be able to/willing to negotiate prices for damages such as the button situation.
Unfortunately, I don’t shop in Goodwill or donate to them any longer for years and years. I’m huge for Salvation Army Here in Florida Goodwill prices are like shopping at Nordstrom.
Your pair of lamps are Art Glass lamps from Lowe's at around 42.00 each. I own some and I love them.
I just found your channel and I’m really enjoying it. Those two stirrups as you called them are actually spurs and they are not cheap. Hopefully you got them and can resell them because $10 is a great deal for those!
People love to display them. Was hoping someone told her they were spurs
You make this like an education tutorial but in a pleasant tone so it isnt dry - thank you
In Houston, Goodwill wants to charge 14.99 for a pair of heels where the inside is peeling. But then they don't recognize Italian shoes and price those much lower. 🤔
Hi The Victoria Ironstone piece is also known as a Foot Bath. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing them. Mary.
that is a great Hawiian shirt the disappearing pocket,, faked shirts just sew any part of fabric on front,, the best match the fabric perfectly
Hand towel goes in the macrame owl. My mother had one
The stirrups you found are actually spurs used for western style riding, I believe.
I'm liking it too!!! Upbeat!! N showing the prices quickly ...is cool. I used to love our SAVE8R Store, it was making great money I think not sure why it was closed, it was Big n always had great' things❗❗❗The basket likely would sell quickly wouldnt it? SOMETIMES THE LABELS of dresses are inside on the skirt part.
I really appreciated the part on clothing. I love watching you pick out what you will sell and explaining it. Please do more of those 😊
I’ve pointed out damage to an item at the other thrift store (Salvation Army) and they agreed and gave me 50% off which I really appreciated! I think you experienced really poor customer service from Goodwill’s manager. It will probably wind up at the outlet and hopefully not the landfill.
Basket for the bathroom with towels or ferns in it.
Love that laundry basket!! The cards under the glass is such a wonderful idea to preserve them.
Loved your haul!!! I thought your basket was a Matt Tommey basket for sure. Check out his creations! They are something else!!! 🥰
Spurs. Stirrups are on a saddle. Ye Haw! You had a good day!
Your voice is sooooo soothing! ❤
Goodwill employees always have the authority to change a price. When they say they can't, they're lying. I know this from experience and Goodwill employees. It's rude that she wouldn't lower the price for you.😠

Glad to see u bought the basket. Good score! Love your videos and seeing u and Roger together. Congrats and best wishes to you both!
Omg that dress barn jacket that would of been hard and that beige green anthropologist shirt would look good on you!! I think if you did another channel on dressing to the nines (rich) with thrift clothes and find a whole outsider for less than $10
You don’t go threw every shirt/top maybe cause you have been doing it so long the high quality jumps out
I find the tag along the seam close to the bottom sometimes 😊
Hi Karen, I think your lovely flow blue is a Victorian ironstone foot bath.
Love the cards under glass. Very cool.
Love the basket and the planter!! Big score! You’re awesome 🥰🤩😁
That Victoria ware Ironstone piece is known as a Foot Bath.
Those stirrups are gorgeous
You and Roger sure have a good eye for what sells.
Going out to dinner ending up in a thrift store ❤ Love it!
What a haul Great finds. This video and your last video have convinced me that I will be taking a trip to PA to thrift. The shopping there is wonderful.
That is a great basket!

I pull vintage wool / mohair Ireland / Scotland made sweaters from the bins and they sell year round.
I like to wear “slips” under dresses, or half slips for blouses…all different colors, silk, and so on, for see-through clothing, works well for beautiful clothes, or even a beautiful bra. Modern, todays style.
Can the “ basket” be repaired? Or maybe the buyer can, these days, anything can be fixed, yay.
Thank you for sharing some of your secret Brands that do well. I learn so much from you channel. I too loved that dangly Cat and had to laugh because just yesterday I was at Goodwill saying the same thing... Come on Goodwill! When something had a ridiculous price. Lol!!
I definitely think prices should be lowered on items with damage.
Love Liberty of London. Visited it once and bough some material!
Yes, they should mark it lower if something is damaged
Keep an eye out for Eberjay pajamas. They are my faves and sometimes they show up at Goodwill. About 150.00 new.
They should have discounted the jacket, they got it for free for Pete’s sake!
So true. My friends were saying that Goodwill isn't great for some reason because they steal money from people, but I am not sure. I notice they always ask to round up couple cents I notice.
Liberty of London fine fine woven, Beautifully printed Cotton Fabric. ❤❤❤❤
⭐️ STRAIGHT OUTTA TEXAS
Put on YOUR patio!!!!
Only if it is a covered patio. I wouldn't want it to get wet.
You need to buy that stuff for your antique Booth the bed warmer and the butt basket
Not our Goodwill. Are goodwill’s Tuesday is senior day and it’s only 10%.
That basket is gorgeous. And, I'm not really a basket lover. But, for me, those Tiffany demitasse sets are IT!!! What a find! All of your finds in this video are great.

That basket would look amazing with a beautiful cream fluffy throw coming out of it. I don’t care about the holes. ❤
that tall cat is amazing!
The manager definitely could have marked down that jacket
You guys are amazing! Hugs!
The campfire popcorn popper
Omg I was so excited for myself when I found a labradorite heart about 2 inches wide the other day! Then I see you find six sets of Tiffany cups and saucers 😂
Basket may be from Vietnam. VC for Viet Cong etc. Beautiful piece of art basket!!!!
