The hunt is real! I spend hours and hours each week, combing through thrift stores, estate sales, auctions, flea markets & Antique centers ... to bring home the goods and prepare them for selling in my Ebay store, my antique booth and on Facebook Marketplace, which fully supports me.
A BIG THANK YOU!!!!! to all of you who continue to support my Channel and my Ebay store!!

The thrift stores in PA are so good you can even find a husband in them!
Lol good one!
😅
True story for her 😂
Maybe I'll. Go there😅
@@arianboisclair7527 Karen and Roger found the rarest of BOLOs.
My favorite line today picks up anthropology mug and says ,”at first I thought they were chickens, their not, their birds” lol
Domed Cake Plate: As a man, I have to say my loose carburetor parts would display very nicely with that shade of green! LOL
When I was 16...I am 58 now, I joined the Army and my Dad spent the extra money to buy me a pair of Tiger trainers. I loved those shoes and never was able to find another pair since, They were the best trainers I have ever had....nothing has ever compared to them!!!!! Thank you for the memory!!!
Always laugh when you speculate on what an item is that you can't identify. Enjoy your chatter, your insight as to why you buy and why you leave things. Keep up the good work and hope 2024 is a healthy and prosperous year for you and Roger.
Paul revere? Who knows. Creepy drinking out of his head. This is my fourth day retired and full time eBay. Loving it. Started on eBay 23 years ago with handmade 1840 drop sleeve shirts that I made. Didn’t take it seriously till a few years ago when I started photographing for a friend that is full time eBay. You are an inspiration. Now to try those individual eyelashes. I hate mascara. So hard on to put on without glasses. lol. I sell everything as well. Can’t do clear glass. Just doesn’t move me. Single mugs. Hmmm. Been picking up wooden items more. The little curio shelves sell so fast! Appreciate your sharing. Blessings. I love to walk too. Hard to do with the ice and snow in Wyoming right now but it’s much nicer than last year. I am a year older than you and inspired that you found Roger thrifting. Maybe I will find my true love in the shoe aisle.
❤I think it is so nice you two found each other and both love reselling.
The cute fish bowl is/was made by Princess House. Their cut crystal cornflower pattern is the unique identifier. Back in the day....late 1980s & before....Princess House had a plant in West Virginia where all their hand-blown 24% lead crystal products were made. I was a consultant, so we all knew the company info. It was a good company. I loved being an independent consultant.
Just to add, this was probably never a fishbowl unless it is glass & contains no lead. Beginning in about 1990, the company always told us to tell customers not to store food or drink items in any of their items with a 24% lead content. These items containing lead could be used to serve food or drink, but not for food storage. The company after 1990 reduced the amount of lead in their items. Karen does what she calls a tap test to determine glass vs. lead crystal. The glass will just kind of have a thud noise. A piece of crystal will have a nice ring tone that resonates.
Omgosh, love your info, thank you
Yes! Princess Heritage Pattern.
the glass head was Paul Revere
Tiny Fish Bowl: the glass etching made me think of the old Princess House pattern.
I was thinking the same. I used to sell Princess House crystal (way too expensive) I wonder if they are worth anything now.
@@lgarcya Good question about value. Don't see it much anymore, but used to find it a decade ago when we cleared estates and storage units. The only set I ever had were the tall pilsner beer glasses, which is why I recall that etched pattern. That was in the early 1980s.
I have a theory on selling or working anywhere. If you do not have passion for it, you will not do well. Love your videos.
No comments on boys and girls stuff! YES, there is such a thing. Thank you for not being afraid yo say it. I do enjoy your shopping trips with Roger.
I appreciate you saying that about how thrifting is not the same in all states because it really does matter. I cannot go into a thrift store here in Texas and expect to find the same quality of items that you find in Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, I still enjoy watching your channel because of your gentle voice and knowledge of items. ❤
Texas lady you might want to watch the teaching videos of Cha Ching King in Texas and the home schooler
They are amazing
“She looks like she needs a nap!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I almost read your mind. 🤣🙃
Happy your booth is off to a rip roaring start. I think the key is to keep it well stocked and take out things that haven't sold in a couple of month and put new stuff in. You can always circle back with the unsold items a few months later.
Congratulations on the high sales in your booth. To be honest, i didn't think the booth would do well. The reason is it's on the 3rd floor & i didn't think there'd be many people able to climb 3 flights of stairs. So, I'm very happy for you!!
They have an elevator 😊
It is just as helpful to hear why you pass over an item as it is why you buy it!
Karen thanks for sharing your struggle on your own from Long Island to Pennsylvania. That took a lot of planning. So nice your beautiful daughters, each with their own talent, was there for you.
I used to only love the clothes, but now enjoy that you shop for almost everything. The anticipation of what you or Roger may find makes your videos interesting and enjoyable. Off to another great year! 😊❤
When you see that Karen moved to PA by funding it with reselling, then eventually met Roger, it seems like there is a special "plan" from above.
Karen used to live at Long Island?
Thanks so much! It definitely was an adventure, but not a struggle at all 😊
@@user-de3yc6du7nyes! Born and raised 😁💜
Hi, Karen. If you two hadn't figured it out already, the shoes marked "Tiger" are made by the brand Asics. They make everything from running and walking shoes to cheerleading and wrestling sneakers. They've been around a long time (I was cheering in their Tiger Featherlyte's back in the day), and they were always known for how lightweight their specialty sneakers are. Happy New Year to you and your family. ✌️💙
I used to be a walker myself until I had worked at the post office for a while and had torn my meniscus several times and had it repaired several times. Each time made it harder to continue to go for my walks. Even after breaking my leg and having a total knee replacement, I still used to walk a couple hours in the morning after taking the grandchildren to school. But now that I'm in my 60s and having hormonal issues, walking is only done when absolutely necessary. I miss it.
Loved when you said, “I am going to be restocking my booth … my part of our booth…” With those few words you show much respect and affection for your partner. It is so like you.
I so enjoyed meeting you yesterday. Thanks for the shout out! ❤️
Italian inlaid Wood Trays: One of the big areas that produces Italian Inlaid wood trays and other objects (jewelry boxes, tables, etc) is Sorrento, on the Amalfi Coast. I still have a few pieces I found, while living in Naples in the 1990s. It's beautiful work.
Wow, nice ☆
@@user-de3yc6du7n Their woodwork is beautiful on the Amalfi coast, but the 50 mile drive along coast can be extremely scary with few guardrails and high cliffs. Especially true for the passenger looking out the window, over the ledge. LOL
Karen as a lifetime hairstylist and a viewer of your channel I've got to say off topic. I love your light hair without your eyelashes! I think you look so beautiful and although I am a makeup Queen myself and the same age as you can I often find that I look better with less. At least that's what it seems like maybe I'm just kidding myself. Love the channel you seem like a very kind person❤
Beautiful women like Karen really don't need the "more".
I love your comment about maybe less makeup on less young women is more 😊
I am 67 and I seem to be wearing less and less makeup as time goes on.
This is why I love this channel so much. The interesting variety of items you sell with the different price points and you've been super successful. It never gets boring and it's always very encouraging.😊
You say "Would anyone want those?" and my head nods, ME ME MEL I have a dish problem. Love them all. My china cabinets are full. But maybe just one more. Been watching you for years. Roger is the best thing you found at the Goodwill! Our town in Tennessee is only 15.000 people so we only have a sad little Goodwill. You have the best job!
My brother had a Skittle Bowl game back in the day. Very fun. He got all the good toys! 😎
Love your table decor centerpiece ❤ The drinking glass was Paul Revere I haven’t seen one of those since I was a kid ( a long time ago) they were quite popular at the time. Came in other historic figures.
19:10 That double metal tray would go so well with a collection of little succulent plants distributed over the trays in small single pots. Anyway, it's lovely and I'm sure it will make the next owner happy.
So glad the booth is going well!! ❤
The Melemine plates are Pottery Barn.They retail for $45 range . Used $35.
Happy New Year to you, Roger, and the rest of the family🎉❤️🙏🏼
Thank you, Karen and Roger, great way to start the new year…see you guys soon❤
Happy New Year Karen and Roger!! Love watching your videos! 🎉😊 Praying you have another awesome year! ❤✝️
Your booth did so well! Congratulations
That store is amazing!
What a wonderful start! I just knew y’all would do wonderful.🥰
I love following y’all, thanks for taking us along, I really look forward to the videos.☺️
Well done with the first month at the booth. What a great start. Xx
Enjoyed ❤
Yes- even more fun when the items sell!!!
I would have picked up that anthropologie mug too even if it was not branded. For me I find that oversize mugs with contrasting interior colors sell the best.
Karen, your organization is amazing! Happy New Year! S.
Great video and lots of neat finds! I love your run-down on your booth's profits.
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge ❤
I really enjoyed this video, it had a little bit of everything in it! Thanks Karen!
The little hanging cutting board looks Scandinavian in style --rosemaling painting.
Your makeup is absolutely perfection!
Great video as always! I am so glad that you do the videos the way you do and don't do voice overs. Happy New Year!!
Oh I wish I had the cake stand !! I love Pioneer Woman !!!
Karen!!! Now that's a gal who is always interesting!!! Roger is a lucky man!!!! Happy New Year to one cute couple!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
The glass candle holder reminds me a bit of the Kosta Boda Snowball😊Happy New Year Karen! Thank you for all your wonderful videos❣
I love when you show the dish section
Happy New Year from a hot and humid Australia. Looking forward to you videos this year too.
Great first month in your booth ❤.
Thank you for taking us to the magical good will anthropology is the best brand mug I look for those out in the wild
It's good to see how organized your are.
Wow, you are so organized and have an eye for the unusual that makes money.
That Bunny Mug was so cute. I wish you picked it up for your Booth for Easter.
So happy your items are selling so well in the Booth Karen. Off to a great start. Splitting the cost with Roger is a great way to do it. What a great team you two make.
I'm the same. I sell a whole bunch of different stuff and it definitely makes it more fun that way!
Yes the little etched glass bowl looks Princess House
That cake plate was beautiful Karen! You did well on this trip.
Tell Roger not to scare you with the clown mask.! That couch may not be comfortable. LOL
NFL Vikings football coffee mug!!! Wishing you picked that one up
The flute!👍🏻👍🏻
Great video Karen. Congratulations on your sales at the booth...Well done girlfriend....
The Limoge dish 1896-1920 is French Elite. About $19
Savors Here in Missouri do a great job displaying artwork and pictures! They are organized on the wall!
You are so fun to watch! Running commentary-but my next vacation is going to be to your town! Wow-never saw so much good finds!
I think you both did good in the booth for the first month. I am actually a little surprised. There is a lot of competition out there for everyone's money including the thrift stores. It's really funny, if I were in the Goodwill, I would be picking up only a few things you choose so maybe I am just out of style. I don't resell now so I think I must be dating myself. You really have to know your customers. Happy New Year to the both of you!!
Your going to love pickle ball. So much fun
I loved the painting on glass frame would buy in a minute
The metal hat looking things are shades from a vintage wagon wheel 'chandelier' they sit on the glass light cover (like an old hurricane oil lamp). We used to have one of these wagon wheel chandeliers in our dinning room. It was in style when my grandparents remodeled way back in the day lol. I do miss it sometimes.
Great meeting you yesterday. When I grow up I want go be you,. Lol. Thanks for the shout out. Have a great 2024!!!!
Hi Karen, looking beautiful.....Now to watch
I love your videos! Been reselling for about 7 months and have watched 100’s of TH-cam videos. Starting to niche down my favorite resellers TH-cam videos and you are one of my top 10, yes, 10 because a lot of good content out there. But you I like for a lot of reasons. Very knowledgeable, real, great communication and kind to all you speak to in the videos. I’m going back on the older videos to watch them because just started watching within the last few weeks. Keep going out and get what is yours!
Your kindness is beautiful👏👍👏 I love your style, your smile and never a death pile🎉 😅😂Watching you as a friend, is so lovely. You brighten my day sweetie. If I could see, and I was younger.......We could be friends. Maybe in my next life😂You put me in a silly mood. 🥰 Thank you!
Happy New Year Karen and Roger! I buy those metal trays so when I need to bake for Church or a group, I don’t worry about getting it back, just cover with foil!
Super smart, you are !
Good video. Good job😊
Hi Roger and Karen. Love your videos
Love this. I’d have to drive to find a good thrift store. My first time watching! ❤
Your hair looks very pretty, as usual!😊
Karen, I think you are right on about the men buying the men stuff tools and electronics and sneakers. Love seeing the treasures you pick up. You are fun! ❤
Those tiles look interesting!❤
Yes, I love them.
The glass man I believe is Paul Revere and the midnight ride warning Boston “ The British are coming”
The flower basket would sell in Texas. Blue Bonnets are our state flower. Wish my daughter had it in her Texas Souvenir store.
WOW! Your Goodwill is amazing! I live in SE, MI and our local store's shelves have huge gaps and doesn't have much variety. Super jealous. Great haul...
I would very much like the painted window panes.
Beautiful cake plate!
15:04 Aww 😊 he left the mask on the shelf so you wouldn’t have to see it anymore 😊
The little clear blown crystal etched Glassboro is Princess house half daisy design
That Limoge plate was lovely.
That bowl you thought would make a good fish bowl was Princess House Crystal, I recognize that pattern from the 90's
I have really been e enjoying you videos. You and Roger are such a wonderful couple. Congratulations on y'all marriage. Running a little late..
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of picking.
Hi I picked up the Asian plate you put back I liked it so glad you didn’t take it 😊
I never see the wonderful items that you find where I live, in Georgia. I finally found a lululemon tank top after years of thrifting.
That handmade wall hook has a Pioneer Woman vibe….I think you will do good with it!!
Karen, I love love your videos! I would love to see you at an Estate sale!
I am also trimming way back on clothes. Only considering vintage and plus.
Rippled Glass: When I was young and spent time cutting glass for furniture restoration, we called that glass style: Reed Glass. I'd find it in old glass front furniture doors and cabinets. Happy New Year!
This was impressive! (First time viewer)
