I had a surprise experience with smelly old stuff about 30 years ago when I was helping a family member clean out their Aunt's apartment. She had been a chain smoker for probably 50 years before she passed away. Everything smelled like smoke so most of the things were ruined. The TV was a newer model than ours so we decided we would keep it. After all how could a portable TV smell bad. We loaded it up in the van and headed home from Alhambra, CA to San Diego, CA. We didn't even drive 10 miles and the TV smell had taken over the entire van. We rolled down the windows and tried to air it out. It smelled so bad we drove directly to the dump in San Diego and got rid of it.
I calll Goodwill "Ill Will" for cause. The run them like for-profit stores and treat help and customers like dirt. Jack up prices and take most things worth buying out of the stores, selling them on line and locking out the disadvantaged who they're supposed to be helping. They don't sell pallets of dollar store merch here; they sell Target clearance instead. The indie stores here are the only ones I find much in. They're putting in a new GoodWill near by, but under the same regional management. I'm not holding out much hope.
Check the grapes to see if they glow. I love Tampa I lived there briefly in the 80's then moved to Miami when the art deco hotels still stood on the beaches. I'm sure it's all changed I don't live there anymore but loved the time I did.
I agree with you on the pricing they mark it way up then half price it for sale or they start showing ebay prices for items that have not been sold. Wishful thinking for sure. Have a great day
Not sure why the goodwills here keep stocking more and more dollar store style stuff. I never see anyone purchasing it when I visit- everyone is fighting over the 2 aisles of actual donations and the searching throuhh the massive aisles of clothes!
Good evening, George! I liked those pool balls, but what I'd really like to have is an old croquet set. Those hair receivers were pretty. A collection of them would be nice. Those looked like fun places to browse. Not a lot that caught my eye, though. Thanks for the take-along!
I wish I'd kept just one of the croquet sets I've had over time! Hair receivers fascinate me and a collection would be nice. I agree that this trek was more of a browse than buying, but I have so much stock at present that it's probably okay if I'm selective!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I've no idea where I'd put a croquet set, but I've always wanted an old wood set. We have a few hair receivers here. A couple are R S Prussia, and one of them has the "hidden figure" on the lid. Those can be a bit hard to find. It always pays to be selective!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Glad all is well , when you have a minute really really need help identifing my art deco vase , as I stated early, went through every avenue,,,, no luck
It's been my experience that animal cause thrift stores have better quality merchandise.
I loved seeing your tribute to your mother. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I literally just went to Fluff, Keswick, and 2nd Time around today! Deja vu. 😂

“Hummmm...that was brief” 😂

Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy all your videos, even though I don’t comment much.
I really did enjoy this video. 😁 It was full of great information as always. Thank you so much George and Carl. 😍

You crack me up. The music box was a hoot.
Awww Dude I love the Hillbilly Tub planter. The mugs are great too. I've yet to find one in thrift, always looking through.🤩
I saw the Live in Buddokan Tour. Fantastic! So was “Dream Police”
I bet it was! My friends all went, I was too young
Glad you found a few things. I enjoy your videos. 🐱
He knows so much!
What a fun video! So many interesting things to see ❤
Weeee,care ,,made me laugh 😊
That was a nice variety of items.
I wish we had antique stores here in Hawaii that weren't extremely expensive.
I know!! I did find a few buys in Hawaii but I had to hit four shops and a flea market to do it
Love your videos and fun so much information 😊 thank you George
Holy crap I was just in that store 3 weeks ago got a couple of great perfume bottles and some paper weights to bring back to Illinois:)

We have really good independently run thrift stores out here
That is good! We need them in Florida
Goodwill is horrid. Haven’t gone there in years.
Interesting collections you came across that day. 😊
Expert info
I like owls 🦉, but not on a dinner plate 😂😂😂😂
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
High numbers of comments help George's channel, hint, hint, friends.
Sometimes they have a crock pot in the back cooking something and if it has kraut it is awful smelling in the store for sure.
Seems nowadays
people want top dollar for chipped and damaged pottery and glass. Its ridiculous
Your in my old stomping grounds!! Graduated from Pinellas Park Sr High… PPHS ❤️🤍💙
Is cut glass worth anything? I have 3 or 4 pieces...😊
A few patterns and older makers are sought after specifically, it has to be in perfect condition though
How do I get you to do an appraisal for me? I forgot how to go about it...
Please go to theantiquenomad.com and hit the appraisals tab
So much Glass! My head is exploding! No more! Please! No More!
Find a decent primitive shop!
WHERE'S XENO ??? HAVEN'T SEEN HIM FOR A LONG WHILE
Thank goodness. I have enjoyed the shopping without his interruption
He's here and helping with lots of tech stuff, my mom's estate stuff, etc. Just very busy right now.
