He sadly passed away last year. I found your videos and you inspired me into the game. Your videos have been such a valuable resources and study them. Just wanted to see a thank you, a biggest thank you possible. Thank you! so much! Your are deeply appreciated!

    Love the needlepoint Young Girl Reading by Fragonard! I had to get that in a print after seeing the painting in Washington DC when I was in high school in the 1960's.

    The lace is called tatting. And the wood things are called shuttles.

    In my few trips to Europe, the shopping has always been amazing. I've collect pottery from Spain and Portugal which I would pack in suitcases, carry onboard and ship home (DHL). Those were the good days. Congrats on some fun buys...and yes, it would kill me to have to leave behind anything that good for such low prices (furniture). Fun video!

  • @IndigoAndRoses
    @IndigoAndRoses 25 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

    In Belgium (and the Netherlands) thrift stores are usually non profit stores that benefit a charity. Most of the time they are run by a majority of volunteers. That’s why the prices are low. When you see thrift stores that have very high prices, chances are they’re making a profit. Usually a store had a website or an employee can tell you about the charity they support.

  • @beverleylocke4207

    The random boxes of junk are definitely worth sifting through. At least in Germany it is from house clearances and the people who clear the houses are more interested in electronics etc. they are not usually interested in books, clothes or decorative items. So bargains are often to be had.

    • @AllPutTogether
      @AllPutTogether  24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      OMG I honestly plan to look into containers. A bunch of reselling friends want to fill one together. On just the reselling side (not TH-cam/Social), I probably spend about 4-5 hours sourcing during the week, 1-2 hours photographing and measuring, 2 hours listing, 2-3 hours packing, and 2 hours fluffing my booth spaces. So like 15+ hours. But it’s really hard to say because it depends on the platform you sell on and how many orders you process.

      People who actually pay with the euro, say euro. Doesn't matter if it is one or 2 or 10, it is 3 euro. Only when you go futher south to France, etc. They stick to plural. So in France you will pay 5 euroS. Not in Belgium or the Netherlands.

    It sounds a little iffy for you to keep saying "it's so cheap over here" over and over again. The prices at the outdoor market were pretty standard for Western Europe. And American pricing would be pretty expensive for us. So your joy about bargains comes off a little boastful.

    • @christinesyrad
      @christinesyrad 25 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I don’t think she sounds boastful. I think it’s fair to bear in mind she’s comparing it to prices in the US and is speaking as a reseller. I’m not trying to attack you, I promise😊 I just think, some things are insanely cheap no matter where you’re from. I say that to mean that so many people would spend 80 euro at IKEA for a mass produced piece of crappy furniture and consider than cheap when there is an equivalent hand made, artisanal furniture piece out there going for like 20 euros. We live in a crazy world, don’t you think?
      I’m becoming a reseller to help find these places a home and to do my part to convince people to spend their money on things that will last. I hope to make pocket money doing it, but that’s not hard when something that took like 500 hours to make is being sold for the price of a Big Mac deal here in Switzerland 😅

    • @AllPutTogether
      @AllPutTogether  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1
