How can anyone accuse anyone who goes out every day looking for stuff to sell. You find it, pay for it, clean it, catalog it, store it and post it for sale. The time and energy you put in is priceless no store could afford your wages on what you do. Don’t understand how can anyone begrudge you. You work very, very hard and you are not taking anything from anyone who can also do what you do. I truly admire you, so don’t let anyone put you down or make you feel guilty. Keep getting what’s yours 😊
yes, it takes a loooot of work to get the item, clean, find info, posted, etc. etc...but what bothers me the most is how ebay, etsy, amazon , etc, they charge now an arm and a leg on fees....which takes about 25 percent of the final value...that my friend is highway robbery specially when they are there waiting for the money to role, no support when one seller is scammed, no real help when u really need it and they are a pain in the rear when they come up with issues in your listings and changing the policies and rules every two months or so....
@@lolitabonita08 And that my friend is ‘capitalism’.
@@coolrunnings3 one thing is running business the honest way and another is to running business the gangster way...and what this sites do are not honest at all, but still a business in the legal sense, but in the moral sense is another matter...is what politicians (99 percent of them do) run business that are very very questionable and only benefit them...with the big D stamped all over...D for dishonesty....and i can give you more examples of dishonest, greedy, gangster mentality business...that yes they run, they collect, they grow but under which terms???
@@lolitabonita08 Hey, it is the US of A that embraces capitalism and thinks social measures, laws, attitudes are synonym to Marxism😏🙄.
Those sites work within the law, that’s all capitalism needs. . .
@@lolitabonita08 🤔you deleted your response to my first post? Why?
Resellers are like enviromental angels rescuing tons of stuff from land fills. Every item rescued and 'rehomed' is a win for the environment.
Bless you Judith!! 💜💜

The 7 branch candlesticks are called Menorahs which are used for Shabbat. The nine branch candlesticks are called Hanukkah candlesticks used during Hanukkah. I think the two are just trinkets though. The door ornament you were referring to is called a Mezuzah.
I've wondered why some of the candledticks held 7 candles and some held 9. Thanks for clarifying that.
Knowledge~Thank You🙏🏽
traditional shabbat candlesticks are a pair of 2. the 7 branch menorah represents the menorah from Solomon's temple. both pieces are souvenirs, not made for religious observance.
Thank you for that information.
@@chrisrogers8033 You're talking about the tradition, I'm talking about the Menorah ABBA told Moshe to make and that was the one candelabra with 7 candle cups. As for the 9 branches, that candelabra is used symbolically because of the Maccabean revolt. I was just trying to keep to what's in the Scriptures in describing them although the 9 branch Menorah was never mentioned in the Word but is in Maccabees.
If you take the little shepherd boy, his friends will come. It’s a universal principle. If you have a piece of a collection and you take it in, it will call to its friends. Sometimes it takes time, but it happens! Want to find a complete collection of anything? gather in the strays!

That's how I'm putting together an eight piece Fiesta set a couple of pieces at a time. I want them to be original pieces
The black and white cat is a Tuxedo cat.
A tip for all of us that have burnt food in pots and pans before..
Put a couple of dishwasher detergent tabs into the pot and add hot tap water, then let it soak overnight. Should work like a charm!
Immediately googled to see if the cookware could have been saved. Thanks for the tip. Merry Christmas.
Thank you I will try it.
Also, Bar Keepers Friend will work too! Thanks for the info!
If it’s really bad, oven cleaner will melt it right out. Or leave it outside and let the skunks lick it off. 😂
Also, I find that denture cleaning tabs clean all sorts of things.
The wood cassette holders are popular with stampers because they hold stamp pads
Thanks, Patty! Just came across an old cassette holder. Now I know what I'll put in it!
The made in Israel piece is not a Mezuzzah, as you speculated and as someone else suggested here. It is a just a decorative piece depicting a candle holder. A Mezuzzah, the thing that hangs on the doorpost, is usually a rectangular shaped box with a scroll inside of it.
The brown "swedish" design pieces are insulators from old time power poles!! They are very well preserved....

That is not a mezuzah. Just a decorative piece for the wall. Mezuzahs have a place that holds a prayer scroll inside.
The narrow Lampshade that you passed on is a great space saver. I have a narrow shelf that has a lamp but the shades are always too wide/deep. Something like that would work perfectly.

I actually have a pair of clay/ceramic pigs. I was the type of person who would disregard broken items. I like the broken, chipped off ears on pigs. We are all broken. It gives them character. ❤
The poor badly need the things that we take for granted. I remember being young and having no cookware, utensils, cups, or glasses. I for sure did need things to hang on th wall. Nobody told me about Goodwill. Those were hard times with a new baby and going to school.
Great find! I found a vintage Charles S. Kahn clear Lucite purse in the children's toy aisle for $2.99 at Salvation Army and it sold for $200. I had no idea what it was but you can be sure I'm on the lookout for those now!
That lucite bag -- great find. It's so cute.
Soak the burned pot in water with salt in it. The salt will help you bring that carbon right up. Leave it for a few hours, wipe it, put more salt and water in it, let it set for a few hours, wipe it. You may have to do it a few times, but the results are really good.
I have to say, the thrift stores in your area are a dream! There are so many isles full of hard goods. We are somewhat rural so our local thrift stores aren’t as bountiful, but we do find quite a lot of vintage treasures. We take what we can, right? 🤷🏻♀️😊
I love the mushroom too!

Oven cleaner would clean that pot. Spray and cover the cleaner with plastic wrap. It should wipe clean in an hour or so.
I was so excited when I saw you put a video out today ! Merry Christmas to me.
I watched with my coffee waiting for everyone to gather for present opening.
I love all your videos but I especially enjoy your thrifting ones. I get to shop vicariously through you. Lol
Karen Merry Christmas to you, Roger and your family. I hope you have a wonderful day!❤❤❤
I clean with salt and a lemon cut in half. Works great on copper bottomed pots like Paul Revere ware. I’ve had mine since 1976.
Hi Karen,
I think those heavy brown things are vintage electrical or telephone wire weights. They would hang on the high wires to reduce swaying from the wind.
Update: I think they are telephone wire insulators.
Me too. I have a couple BUT I have never seen a taller one. I love it.
You need to add a link for your daughter’s you tube.
My husband said these are old wire isolators. The wire is looped through holes in the taller block and it isolates any voltage from coming down the wire to the ground.
That’s what I think those are too! Telephone Insulators!
Exactly what I was going to say!
I believe you’re referring to a Mezuzah. I don’t think the wall plaque was a Mezuzah…if you Google you’ll see they’re long and skinny… supposed to hold a rolled Parchment with a prayer on it. But, I’m no expert so someone will chime in I’m sure. Merry Christmas!
You are correct. This is not a mezuzah.
Isabell Bloom & husband John lived nearby me. I really did not know her, as her studio was elsewhere. I did get to know her husband, John, who was a painter and had his studio in Davenport Iowa. Both worked with Grant Wood in the 1930s in Iowa. I really loved John's work. He was in late 80s when I first met him. Both lived well into their 90s before passing.

Wow!!! Italian ceramic tiles.....what.... that was quite a haul...u are probably still cashing in on all the goodies!!! Well done!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
The black and white cat is called a tuxedo. It's not a siamese.
I am glad resellers are finding new homes for items at the thrift stores. So sad so much goes to the landfills.
This is so true!
Those brown porcelains are electrical wires insulators. Pretty cool
I like how you "talk" to us, your way through your thought process whether you keep or put back an item. It is helpful, and glad to know I'm not alone!!! Happiest of Holidays to you 🌲
All of the thriftersI have seen talk you through. I don’t like pick it up and set it down. Sometimes I watch when she pulls to sell. I slide the past past all the other stuff.
Fun video! Wow your GW is stuffed!! So much stuff, you’re right. More than enough for everyone. ❤

A year ago video. Yep your lucite purse!!!! I about fell out of my chair!!! Great find, Beautiful find, lucky bug find!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
18;00 heavy duty insulators,used by elect co. or ham radio folks.
I'm new to the channel and absolutely love it! Your vibe is great. I love to thrift and have accumulated a good collection for personal use and I'm interested in transitioning to reselling to supplement my income, learning so much :-). Merry Christmas!
I’m glad you’re here! Karen is my favorite reseller on TH-cam. I’ve learned so much from her. Good luck on your reselling journey. 😊
Thanks for subbing! Welcome! 💜💜
I Love your videos and your knowledge. That LeCreuset would never come back to life. Glad you left it! The little Israel dish is a souvenir with a shabbat candle, not a mezuzah.
So glad you took that accordion rack! My heart sunk when you started to put it back😂

Brand new subscriber. I learned more from you in one day about items at Goodwill than I have watching everyone else altogether. You aren't in a hurry and give specifics about brands and things to watch for. Love your basement..You are so organized! Thank you for your info!

I'm thrilled you save items from going in landfill. I agree with the person who said Goodwill can't afford the labor to clean, catalog and list items as you do. Also, I remember seeing those flat lampshades on bedside tables when was a child in the 1960s in old people's houses. I might have seen in black and white movies too.

Yes, you can clean the LeCreuset. There are several videos on TH-cam. Check out the one on Sur La Table
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you Karen Thank you for all you have taught us this year and for the entertainment as well Here’s to a prosperous and healthy New Year 🎉
Love your haul, Karen. That Lucite purse is amazing - the Spanish tiles, the coffee/tea set, the mushroom, the doorstop iron, just love your haul!
I love the Haeger vase! It’s the color that does it for me. The vintage lucite purse is fabulous! Wow! You always find such great things! Thank you for sharing. I hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas. xo

Brown “Swedish” items are vintage electrical insulators. They serve a similar purpose to the more common green glass insulators commonly collected, which is to keep electric current from arcing and shorting out as it travels down the old power lines or transmitting antennas. I have several from a transmitting facility I used to oversea in Yosemite, Japan. They are typically marked by rated capacity and maker, often with a logo.
My wife has turned a couple into candle holders.

Hello Brian. I have found a large soft blue colored porcelain? One. I keep it in my yard to guide the hose. My other half surely can't run it over. Lol I also have the regular large brown ones used for same purpose. I would absolutley LOVE to get my hands on a few of the humongous clear ones they use now a days on the high power metal poles. Any ideas as to where to find them? This is kajiracherries see above comments to return my comment please.❤
it's a Victorian lampshade, the one that you thought someone sat on. they sell really well.

Burnt pan. Take Cascade liquid dishwasher soap (not packets) and cover the burnt part and leave for 24 hrs. Will lift the burnt part off. Then only a very little elbow grease to finish. If you have any pots that get burnt in a pan you can just cover the burnt places and not the entire bottom. Hope this helps w/your next thrift trip. Blessings Always
Apple Gourds very cool those were very nicely cleaned n stained red. Can use as is for decor, or drill hole for bird houses. I've always wanted one but they sell high $25-30
Karen, Merry Christmas to you and the family. My Goodwills NEVER look this good. You have some great finds and yes the mushroom is adorable. Thanks for sharing
Mine don’t either.(Phoenix Arizona) I believe it is because we have so many resellers here. They must be there at just the perfect time in order to get the nice stuff. There is a difference in quality of clothing - because of the heat, we seem to have more casual style - even for professional business people.
33:05 wool comb
Yes and vintage.
Bakelite is colored lucite. Adorable finds 💗
What an AMAZING Goodwill!!! The tiki glass is from Epcot, I found 2 of them (on 2 different occasions) and gave them to my daughter who collects Disney items.
Watching an old video. The lovely wooden mushroom, if u would have put a bit of wood oil on it, it just takes a nice heavy coat slapped on, I know u don't have time, but the oil would totally transform it into breathtaking beauty!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
That lucite purse!!!
Resellers are HARD WORKING PEOPLE!!
The spoon hlmolder would be cool converted into a jewelry holder.
it was popular in the 1990's to paint those sad irons, saw blades, saws, tractor seats, etc.

Last month I was able to drive the 5 hour trek to PA and I will say that PA has the BEST goodwills/thrift stores.
If you can make it to PA I insist visiting the thrift stores there!
Do I want to sell a burnt pot? It struck me as funny
those brown ceramic pieces are old electrical insulators... antique or vinage for sure.
The basket with the apple or tomato on the top, was a sewing basket and that was a pin cushion on the top.
The turquoise with the menorah is a decoration as is the vase. You are thinking of a Mezuzzah which we put on the door posts of our houses. There is a prayer inside.

To clean the lake Creuset pot is burned. You can put a combination of peroxide and baking soda and put it on. The stove is simmer it, and it will loosen gently to you can get down and grab the rest off.
The basket with the apple is a sewing basket. The apple is a pin cushion & the metal plate with the flower looked like hammered aluminum not pewter. I love watching you. You come across some interesting items. The wooden piece that you picked up is an accordion wall rack. Not being a no it all just trying to help. You have taught me a lot about clothing. 😉🥰

Hi, love your channel . Thankyou for sharing with us. The brown ceramic items, you thought were candle holders are electrical insulators off old telephone poles , very old.
The Le Crusuet pan is easy to clean, since enamel is glass! Cook white distilled vinegar in it. Or use a baking soda paste! Or soak it in a bucket of hot water with a dishwasher tablet dissolved in the water!
And remember, like dissolves like! So baked on grease comes off if you cook more grease in the pan. Coarse salt works as a good scrubber. Ammonia is a good solution to soak with. And Tide works well. Vinegar is a mild acid so soaking things might take days or even weeks but the dirt will go--- eventually.
Plus wash soda, for laundry, is great for removing grease ftom cloths, and anything else, too.
But I would cook the pan in a stock pot with white distilled vinegar! If you have the lid that pan is $225 new, but it should last a lifetime if not abused!
You can also boil water and lots of citrus peels--- the crude will disolve.
Just buy the pan as is and sell it as is.
I'll buy it that way. Folks have forgotten how to clean things!
If worse came to worst you could use oven cleaner on it.
And use borax, it makes soap work better! Borax is a water softener!
Or cook Coke in the pan. Coke is great to clean with--- even toilets! It's very acidic. Makes you wonder what it does to your insides, doesn't it!
Good luck!
Merry Christmas, Karen & a Happy New Year to you & yours!
Afternoon on this Christmas Day ! Hope you and the Family plus Roger have a Great Christmas ? See you in 2023 !
Yay a video on Christmas! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Cheers to a prosperous new year🎄
Thanks for the laugh, Karen. I cracked up at the ‘very large pick’! 😂
Wonderful lampshade!
Happy Holidays to You&Roger&Fam! Thx once again 4 all U do! Such great videos! Love all the explaination of everything learn so much from U🌲☃️🎅
If the Le Creuset is cheap enough and you see it again, try boiling water with baking soda and then a rock salt scrub - I've had excellent luck saving burnt pans with that method!

The wooden spoon holder, I literally just bought before Christmas. I upcycled it and turned it into an advent calendar. I hung little bags with the numbers to count down to Christmas. I was thinking it could be good all year round as well for a goal tracker where you can count down for other things and will keep it in my office.
What you called "black Siamese" 🤣 -- not. That's a tuxedo cat. Tabby, yes. Calico, yes.
That was a sewing basket, the one with the apple on top.

Merry Christmas Karen & Roger! The apple gourds need a hole drilled in them for bird houses. They sell for around $20+. Nice graphics! Good job Lisa!
Wow, can’t believe you found that purse!!!
I've sold single waverly valances, but I do agree it's not the best buy. love the metal wreath.
The brown ceramic set looks like Block & Tackle Pulley for sail boats. You run the ropes thru and around them to lift and lower sails. Some are very spendy. I have 3 Wood ones.

I agree on Heagar does not sell for much and not worth the cost of bubble wrap for the little profit
Heager was in the next town over from me. In East Dundee, Illinois. The factory closed a few years back so perhaps prices will rise since they aren't making any more of it.
Love the floral metal peice
