- GOODWILL FOR A CHANGE! | FINDING VINTAGE THRIFT & ANTIQUE DEALS
So wonderful to be where the Goodwills are good thrifting! I finally get to take you to a great Goodwill, where decades of antique and vintage deals have come to me and my friends...and another Goodwill where once I was strictly a donor.
I get an empty van to shop with in my hometown, a ferry ride away from the big city of Seattle and its flagship Goodwill store, home of the Evergreen district headquarters. It's been a mainstay for thrifters since my childhood! The collectibles department is the natural first stop, we see both real and imagined antiques and vintage, and buy a few good surprises we can easily flip.
Beyond the obvious, the main portion of the store has stacks of books, linens lighting and housewares where we get a good lamp for little, a desk we can use to display at our show this weekend and a fairy lamp that takes me back!
Then it's down the road to a suburban Goodwill, where we shop instead of donate for the first time ever. The shade for the lamp, some really good Pottery Craft and more fun finds we can quickly turn come at thrift store prices!
I dedicate this video to my midwestern friends living in the Goodwill desert.
Here's some more of what we see at the Goodwills:
Metlox Blue Provincial, costume jewelry, 1970s lamps, fused glass, opalescent moonstone glass, Winfield casserole, Hollie Hobbie plate, Johnson Bros. turkey platter, Shawnee planter, Paymaster check writer, Alaska Clay vessels, monkey pod leaf trays, silver overlay glass, Federal Glass mixing bowl, Dugan Argonaut bowl, Hedi Schoop figures, Rueven Glass, Anri wood figure, MarCrest pitcher, Bambi tile, Royal Doulton Flambe vase, Murano bowl, Disney Mickey/Minnie turnabout cookie jar, Czechoslovakian china, 1970s flower power clock, copper car music box, Pfaltzgraff Villager casserole, Gilner elf, Bubble sherbet stems, McCoy wishing well cookie jar, Pottery Craft Botanica, art nouveau pitcher, Dutch canister set, Johnson Friendly Village ware, Fraunfelter teapot, cobalt ABC plate, etc.

Hi George, I just purchased a Pottery Craft canister set and while researching my collector’s book I discovered that you had written it. Wow! Your knowledge is priceless. Thank you!!!
Wonderful! I had a lot of fun researching and writing that. I really enjoy Pottery Craft
So excited you saw a piece of Frownfelter pottery. That was my late Mother’s family many generations ago.
That's so cool! Do you have any items connected to the factory?
@@TheAntiqueNomad I had not ever heard of Frownfelter pottery. Learn something new on this channel every day!!
Had 70's flashback watching this. Was an Air Force wife stationed in Tacoma back then. I LOVE the Pacific northwest 🥰 & your videos 😘
Interesting! We moved there for good in 1976
Be still my homesick heart! I remember riding the ferries in the 60s to get to Shelton to visit my grandparents before I-5 was completed. It was the shortest way to get there from Seattle. and BURIEN! I grew up in Des Moines!!!!!
Neat! I just did an appraisal in Normandy Park. I miss it too
Leave it to you George to make Goodwill sourcing look like antique mall shopping. Well done!
Thank you! It helps when they segregate the stuff and also don't cherry pick it all
Glad you found some items worth buying. I learn a lot when you shop the goodwill. Thanks
I'm glad you said that, I wonder about doing Goodwill videos sometimes but if they're telling you useful things then that's all I needed to hear! It's fun when you find a good Goodwill.
George thought I was having a Groundhogs Day moment. Fyi don't smoke when watching George.😂😂🤸♂️🤪
Lol
A lot of us remember those metal desks. If I had a more industrial home I think it would make a great end table for a sofa and a great place to store magazines. Nice video as always. I noted and appreciated your kind comments about our new immigrants working in the USA. Unless you have a Native American heritage in your background, all of us came here from people who came here for a better life. And I am glad they did
Thank you, I'm glad you noticed, I just see the reality of it in person I guess. I think the desk in an industrial decor would be perfect for that!
Great tour and always an education. Thanks
You're most welcome!
Thank you for taking us along with you George!
Pyrex at 25:42
Yes good spot on the pyrex
Your voice is nice and soothing to listen to when you are shopping.
Thank you! I'm usually pretty mellow I guess
Very fun to watch you in my local flagship Goodwill sharing your knowledge! Thank you!
Isn't it great?
As always, George you don’t fail to amaze me. I am 68 and my brain cells don’t remember that way they did. I always enjoy 😉 your shopping, estate sales and your travel.
I want to get this all out before I forget it all! Lol
Truly enjoy following you along on your shopping sprees. You have such a nice voice, soft & calming ( & full of information too ! ). :~)
I'm glad! I'm usually calm...
I lived in Edmonds 3rd grade through 7th grade. My older Sister lived on Whidbey Island for 5 years during the 1970's when the economy was not so good. She just sold her home and moved to Camano Island, because it's the only Island you dont have to take a Ferry. I can hardly wait until I go visit her. I love all of Puget Sound. Great memories. Our parents took us all over it fishing & camping back in the good ol days!
Yes, Whidbey was a cheap place to live! That changed. Camano is nice because as pretty as the ferries are, they're a nuisance if you have to rely on them completely
That is an awesome Goodwill❤️Thank you George fir sharing❤️🥰
Finally a Goodwill I like
Wow the wealth of knowledge u possess in your brain George is like a computer..I constantly learn from you....
I'm glad I can help with that!
Pacific Northwest is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Truly is!
It’s beautiful there.
Truly is!
I’m so glad I found your YTube channel!
Thank you, me too! Please like, subscribe and comment, it's good to have you in our antique community
Wow, loved the ferry ride, beautiful scenery. So much nicer than the Martha’s Vineyard or Boston one. ✨✨✨
Well, it's just so spectacular on a clear day
Hi George, I was born at Seattle General Hospital in 1960. Still live in the Seattle area, best city! Enjoy your time in Seattle. I used to shop that Goodwill in Seattle, too, but have not been there for some time.
Neat! I hadn't been in there for ages. I do really enjoy Seattle
Seattle is beautiful
It really is!
That was fun George..thanks for sharing. 💜💗💜
My pleasure
I miss Seattle!!
yes
I have 4 Markcrest casserole bowls with lids. I make my Croele in them. Love them. I pick them up every Time I see them in GW.
I like Marcrest good quality
@@TheAntiqueNomad I just picked up 6 mugs.
Ferries are my favorite 🤩
Very pleasant way to travel
That Goodwill looks like the Kent IKEA
Yes, it's much cleaner now than it used to be lol
I love the ferry with a on broad live piano player,,,,very classy
Oh yes! I remember the musicians on board a few times
Thanks as always George! ❤Taggin along👏👍oliver
Glad to see you here!
Thats a very fine Goodwill. You do such a wonderful job.
Thank you so much!
Thanks George! 😊
:)
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Lol I got a kick out of that one
Beautiful
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
Grateful!❤️
Likewise!
It was so nice to see you in Seattle. I shop at that Goodwill often. And thank you for refraining from the negative Goodwill comments that seem so common on other youtubers' channels. The prices in Seattle are high, but I always find lots of stuff worth selling at all the regional Goodwill stores. They catch a lot of good stuff... but they can't know everything. You just have to keep your knowledge base updated and branch out by looking up interesting stuff.
I was thrilled with what I got there and what I made! I’m willing to pay for good stuff, the lamp alone sold for 500 percent profit. I’m really glad I got to be back and hope there’ll be a show where we can all congregate
Hey George! That Dugan Nautilus piece is a nice one. I liked those ship[s behind the counter. One looked like a Chinese junk mads from horn. That Royal Albert "Old Country Roses" piece would've been a great piece to get, if it hadn't been chipped. That is probably one of the most enduring patterns around. I liked that Victorian stork platter. That Czech cannister set was really nice...I would prefer the words in Czech, though. Those were actually really good Goodwill stores. There doesn't seem to be many of those still around. Thanks for taking us with you!!!
I was happy to get the Dugan piece! I do like the Czech sets myself, most Americans won't buy the Czech verbage but I like them either way. I'm glad you saw a few good things, I'm never sure I want to do Goodwill videos but these ones at least were valid!
I get so many tips from you. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
You grew up in a staggeringly beautiful area, George. I am bowled over. The video seemed to suddenly get stuck as you spoke about a green stretch bracelet.
.nice finds, George!
Thanks 👍 I felt fortunate
Bremerton my home town. Lived right on the water between the Manette Bridge and the ferry docks. The YMCA was right there near the docks.
That's right! I remember the OLD ferry terminal...not too great lol
Love the flowers
Great goodwill
I literally bought one of those Ef and Ef lamps at the local flea market for $1. It's gorgeous. The glass is blue. The shade is newer but looks like it matches to the period.
How great! What a deal.
I just love the friendly village ❤️
A friend of mine's wife has the whole service, it's very pleasant on the table!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I love the design where they tap the sugar maple trees,,,,it’s so reminiscent of my childhood
Ohio Goodwill stores are terrible. I drive to Indianapolis to go to the GW outlet with my mom. We've found some amazing things digging there. We sold Barb a Rushton Chubby Teddy from the bins. Sometimes customers can be aggressive, though they're typically looking for new items. Anyway, great video! Seattle looks gorgeous!
It’s a beautiful place! Goodwill varies greatly from day to day and City to City, I’m excited that you found Barb one of her prized rushtons in the bins!
I enjoyed the trip.
Your at my Goodwill! I always find something there! I watch Left Coast Revival/Laura Caldwell and have learned so much from you both.
That's so great! She's really nice in person. You'll see her in my next video.
Beautiful
I loved this video, George! I live in Poulsbo and feel so lucky to be surrounded by Seattle Goodwills. My main spot for sourcing is the Bremerton Goodwill and I always find treasure there! Really fun to see my neck of the woods.
Yes, Bremerton Goodwill is good! I grew up near Brownsville so that was our haunt as a kid
great finds, George.
I rather like that metal drum coffee table - add a circle of glass and you have a nice outdoor table
I liked the concept a lot, but it was new and flimsy. It did make me think to look for an older derivation of same though
Really enjoy your channel
That’s great I sure appreciate you watching
Those two Goodwills remind me of the Goodwill in Oxford Mississippi
Sounds like a good one!
Again, so bummed I missed you and others on TH-cam! 🤦🏼♀️ I may have something for you that you may like George! I'd gift it to you.
My brother's mother-in-law blessed me with a calendar her husband had tucked away. Unfortunately he passed about 10 years ago at 83.
I'll catch you a next year for sure! ☺️
That’s so kind! You’ll get to see us again
Just saw you with Laura and heard how amazing your eye is for antiques so excited I found your channel xxx😍🥰
Welcome!! Please like, subscribe and tell your friends, we're always glad to have more people join our antique and vintage community!
Just finished the rest of your video. I grew up in Burien, and I love going to the Burien Goodwill when I am in the southend. A good friend of mine lives close to this Goodwill and recently scored with a vintage mid-century modern sofa and 2 chairs. They were just being unloaded and hadn't even made it to the floor. I think she got it all for $100! Two of my favorite Goodwill stores on the eastside closed during the pandemic. Such a bummer because they had great finds for low prices.
I'm sorry to hear that! We sure could use more good thrift stores. I do like the Burien location
I can remember bringing at least 2 bags home everyday from Salvation Arrmy in SF with great stuff for such a long time. Kinda sad now.
It's not as easy as it was, but that's because people like this stuff more now!
What a wonderful video. Adored all my Portland Goodwills...saw a Mikasa 80's Silkflowers pattern in you shot..I drink from a selection of mugs one being a tall Cappacino of that pattern purchased at Goodwill in 90's and most recent trip..2014..i got a lovelu sevice for 4 of a Newport pottery pattern..very spendy and still for sale in a Tigard GW...yes new and old..oh thank you I ache for the summer and fall in NW.
Yes, it's just the most lovely time to be there
@@TheAntiqueNomad just wonderful...thanks.
So many amazing things!! That is a great goodwill!! Not sure what’s going on in the background with all the cart noise..
That was wild eyed nomadic shoppers crashing into each other. Pool noodles could remedy this, but then the carts wouldn’t stack
Sorry about that, working on some sound equipment improvements. Thrift stores are very noisy places usually
Lol yes they were playing bumper cars a bit
I'm at work pushing the old KFC but I'll try to catch as much as I can. And Rewatch later. Hope everyone's having a great evening
So glad to know you're out there, I hope you're having some fun on your days off!
That was fun seeing things you purchased before the Portland show where I got to see you in person.
Thank you George.
Any shows anywhere this weekend?
I finally have a weekend off! It was fun showing some sourcing at the last minute
I enjoyed the shop a long😀
I will see you eventually! Thanks and it was fun
Looks like a nice place to grow up.
Mainly so!
Was wondering if you going to be around Centralia on the 16 th at 9:00. We are having a huge sale in the S W fairgrounds. I will be there selling and I have 20 boxes of memories. I was going to sell on line and decided not too. The prices are low enough it would be worth it. If you decide to come text me and I can tell you what space I will be in. Thank you for your time
Hi, Alicia! I had to go back to Kentucky to do a show, I'm sorry I missed the swap meet there, I like that one. Hope you do great business!
Beautiful city! Your knowledge is amazing. I always appreciate the scrolling, if it isn't something familiar it helps to see the correct spelling right under the item.
You're welcome! I thought it would be helpful, I remember we had to spell things out when we would run radio ads back in the old days (with pronunciation too)
Those prices were ridiculous! Enjoyed the video. !
I was happy with the lamp though! It sold for $100 with no shade
Wow, another great haul! Did the shade work well with the lamp you bought at the first Goodwill?
It was a little small but the lamp sold at the Portland show so I’ll use it elsewhere
Hi George, Can you do another whats hot whats not video ? That would be great!
Hoping to soon, once the bug passes I can do that presentation to groups again
our goodwills no longer offer bags. They may have boxes or you have to buy a reusable bag. Or cary out by hands.
Good to know, haven't run across that yet
@@TheAntiqueNomad maybe just in Milwaukee or Wisconsin
Cool! End of September we stayed in Port Townsend at the Palace Hotel~3rd floor, room was like a NY apartment with spiral stairs up to a loft sleeping area! Took the ferry to Coupeville? Also, if you ever get the chance to eat at Calico Cupboard do so. Awesome food. We ate at the Anacortes location. One in Mt Vernon and La Conner as well. We love Washington!! 💛
I like Pt. Townsend a lot! All of that sounds fun, it's a beautiful place
My mother had a whole set of , I think you called Marcrest pottery from the 50s
MarCrest was really heavy but really well made!
As of January minimum wage in Seattle went to $16.69; I'm sure that has some effect on pricing, even at Goodwill.
I'm sure that's true
So, what's the Hardy Boys up to tonight?
I would have taken the hammered drum table, spray painted it with copper and washed it with a green wash glaze. Add a glass top and I could see it being about 300 to 350.
Another viewer also suggested doing that, and you're right, it had the look! It was just really flimsy and lightweight in person
😄
Wow. U found one of those lamps also
Hi George my experience with older wind-ups they usually don't work if you wind them once or twice you have to go all the way
I've been told you should wind them about half to two-thrids, never go all the way in case it throws the gear. They tend to be delicate after all these years!
Our Goodwills and St. Vinnie's in Eugene are pathetic. Although I did find 2 Haeger vases once.
You just never know, the ones in St. Pete, Florida are usually bad but a viewer of mine found a great cocktail decanter there recently
Beautiful scenery
Did that Goodwill have those coloured bricks from when it was built ?
No they’ve remodeled and added to it, I like the facade
And for $3 I'll have it again....Lol
That is the dialogue in my brain when I shop! It's funny saying it out loud though
Hey George-you are correct-Goodwills are not good in Kansas! It’s all about the local thrift stores here!
Sad to say, several of you have pointed that out. I've found great things in private thrifts in Kansas though
Look at you popping tags
Lol I did a few
Goodwills in Kansas suck. I have never found anything good here. So don't bother, or I challenge you to try!
Lol I'll try sometime when I'm there to see family I guess
I've never watched a video of a Goodwill with such background noise.
I'm sorry, it is incredibly loud and I should've filtered more
FOCUS YOUR CAMERA!!!!!
Agreed! It was a problem. We think we have it resolved for the future though.
Am I the only one whose screen froze at 11:28? No one seems to have mentioned that so is it my computer, or you tube's fault, or? Great stuff as always, 'til then at least.
I’m not hearing that elsewhere…maybe fast forward past that and start there
@@TheAntiqueNomad I did try that and it's locked on the bracelets all the way to the end. I'll go back to the antique nomad listings and start afresh and see if it plays to the end. Thanks.
Nope, same thing again. Just a glitch with my Mac, I guess.
Hi George what advice would you give a reseller moving to Seattle who never has been there regarding sourcing?
Hi! Cool deal, Seattle's a great town. Here's some tips:
- Flea markets all closed when real estate prices rose. You'll have to look to estate sales, antique malls and develop private sources of merchandise.
- Antique shows are just starting up again. Spokane next April is the next show I know of, Packwood Flea Market is every Memorial and Labor Day.
- Find other sources! Check Craigslist, shop consignment stores, hang out on Facebook Marketplace, even place "Wanted to Buy' ads in appropriate forums.
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank u
Since you mentioned it.....Kansas Goodwills are not good right now and they have gotten quite expensive for thrifting value. Haven't found a good item to turn for months.
Sorry to hear that, you and another viewer echoed that sentiment
Boy that Goodwill should be called vintage thrift and some other stuff so expensive!! Yikes 😬
It's not cheap anymore, but I did make a lot on that lamp right away...in fact, most of what I bought sold instantly
George I have that clock and in Tulsa I don't even have it advertised or on any sites right now actually I was getting ready to donate it and I'll be happy to mail it to you if you can have it I would love to see it displayed on I don't know if you know that I'm crippled I have been for about a year and a half and so my selling days have come to a halt for a while I hope I hope not forever but I hate to see these things going to people that don't really know their value and the love I have for them. You think about it I have it if you want it same clock exactly the only thing that does have is on the back where you put the nail in the hole it's a little wider than it should be because I dropped it the front looks great and I'll look it over real good to make sure it's worth you having but it's it's free no problem if you'll help me with shipping that's all I ask it it can't be very much it's very lightweight
That is so kind! Please let me know cost to ship to 42408 zip code
HOLY COW WHO IS PRICING THESE THINGS ??? JACK THE RIPPER ??? ( off )
Lots of it isn't a bargain, but I made a good profit off what I got! You just have to figure that Goodwill is going to sell online or raise the prices in the stores, know your pricing and buy what you can
I couldn't get it to play past the jewelry where you say something about the green bracelet. Anyone else? Or just me?
I’m sorry I don’t know why no one else mentioned it! Maybe reload the video?
@@TheAntiqueNomad I did over and over and over. I was binging all of your videos, yes ALL of them. You are great.
What about the Majolica?
Not sure what you mean--?
@@TheAntiqueNomad I don't remember but I think you passed up a majolica plate?
WHAT HAPPENED WITH SPOKANE A WEEK AGO ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I was in the Northwest 3 weeks, so it'll take a little time to get all those videos processed
Too much background noise
Agreed, I didn't use the filter because we thought it was creating a different sound problem but we learned otherwise because of this video...hopefully the new microphones will help
I'm a little jealous. Our Goodwill's have nothing but overpriced trash, literally just trash.
Trust me, when I'm in the midwest I have the same experience there
GOODWILL SUCKS , USED TO BE GOOD A FEW YEARS AGO , NOW IT SUCKS
I wonder if they're just not getting the donations now in some locations
A lot of duds, this trip. Too bad.
This is still much better than my Goodwill experiences in the Midwest
@@TheAntiqueNomad I'm outside of Pittsburgh, and I have a smaller local Goodwill that can run hot or cold as ice. It's the thrill of the chase!
Wow that's the most expensive goodwill I've 3ver seen,,sucky
I still made good money on the things I bought there though! You just have to know your pricing, it isn't all going to be $1 these days
