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

    My dad had a pencil sharpener in the basement when we were kids. Along with our pencils, he used it to sharpen the one he used to mark his wood projects.

    Hi Karen, I love all your videos! I would love to hear you talk a little bit more about the financial side of selling on eBay-how do you keep track of your purchases, do you track mileage when thrifting, what you do to prepare for tax season, etc. thanks so much!

    It is soooo nice to know that you wash and clean your items. I have followed several resellers on TH-cam and some don't do anything to their clothing before they sell it. Yuk!

    Love your videos! I found a helpful hint from another reseller. If you don’t have nice floors or don’t like laying clothing on floors, you can go to a home improvement store like Home Depot and buy a sheet of white bathroom surround. It is flexible so it can be rolled up and stored, comes in something like a 4x6 foot sheet and costs like $12. I sometimes use this for flat lays if I don’t want to dress my mannequin. Works great for items like pants and long dresses. Bright White.

    Always love when you take us to your organized basement. Kim, you manage your time very well, which is so important. So nice of you to share your how to s. The black and white boards from DollarTree are the best tip; don't need to buy or make a photo box. Thank you!

    I'm always amazed at how organized and clean your store is. I told my husband the other day that I never worry whenever I order something from you as I know it will have been described accurately and will be immaculately clean when I receive it. I know you say it's easy but I'm sure it takes a lot of work. Thanks Karen!

    Intarsia doesn't have to be raised. It's just when something is knitted into the sweater in another color or colors like a flower or animal. I love when you pull items from your basement. It's so fun seeing how you store them and what they sell for. I could've watched all 40 items. :D

    50 dollars is a great bargain for the geode. I'm sure the buyer is pleased, win-win. I also edit all of my photos; once you get used to the program you use, it really does go fast.

    Hi Karen. I am in awe of how easy it is for you to take photos of the products. Is it too much to ask if you explain which company's lights you use and whether you are satisfied with them. And more. Could you please explain how you position the lights while shooting. I am grateful in advance.
